Scottish Shortbread by Marlin RinehartThis is the most famous cookie of Scotland. It’s a must to use pure butter. Traditionally, shortbread contains no other flavor. I’ve been making this recipe since 1970 when I got the recipe in Edinburgh, Scotland. The addition of a small amount of rice flour gives a firmness and crunchiness to the cookie. Most American recipes for… |

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British) by Marlin RinehartThis sauce is served over steamed puddings, fruit crisps (crumbles), and any dessert that would be enhanced by a creamy vanilla sauce. It's the perfect homemade replacement for Byrd's Custard powder. One warning, however: 1) use a small, "thick-bottom" saucepan, and 2) cook over low heat and don't allow the mixture to boil or it will… |

Butter and Flour Free Chocolate Cake by Hungry JennyThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too. This was made in an 8" square tin. |

Mini Brioche Muffins by Hungry JennyThis recipe can create 48 mini muffins, or 24 cupcakes - or, as I did, 24 mini muffins and 12 cupcakes!) Leave the brioche out to dry overnight for best results. If you want to make cupcake-sized ones, amend the temperature to 180 degrees C instead for about 20 minutes.… |

Cranberry Orange Cookie Bites by Hungry JennyThese taste best fresh out of the oven but keep well for a few days, they just go a little chewier. But best of all, they're pretty healthy! Which is why it's ok to eat six of these at once ;-) This recipe makes 60 mini cookies (tsp size) or 30 'normal' cookies!… |

Carrot Cake (butter and sugar free) by Hungry JennyA healthier version - that still tastes like carrot cake :-) The 'frosting' is cream cheese so is also a healthier option than the standard frosting you get with carrot cake, but feel free to omit if you want to make this even healthier! This recipe is for a 7 x 12.5" traybake and cuts into 27 small bars. |

Cheeky Chocolate Tarts with Almond Crust by Hungry JennyA handy recipe to use up leftover chocolate, as these tarts can be frozen and eaten when you please :-) Sub the ground almonds with plain flour if you do not wish to use almonds. You can also use 375g premade sweet shortcrust pastry instead of making this pastry, in which case, go straight to step 3. This recipe makes 12… |

This is the basic recipe for the bars, but you can add whatever flavourings you want. I’ve used vanilla, but I suggest… |

Soft Pear and Cranberry Squares by Hungry JennyAside from the egg, this is otherwise dairy-free! Use very ripe pears for best results. This recipe is for a 13 x 8" traybake (32 squares) Cover the top with baking paper or foil during the last 10 minutes to avoid the top over-browning. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2011/03/soft-pear-and-cranberry-squares.html |

My version of Nigella's Chocohotpot by Padma Priya ManikamThis is a dessert made by British chef Nigella and I have made it several times varrying a little. The original recipe calls for 4 ramikens but I bake mine in a rectangle oven-proof dish. I also use Van Houten's cooking chocolate. Below is the recipe adapted by me and for the original recipe kindly refer to the web link. |
