Scottish Shortbread by Marlin Rinehart

This is the most famous cookie of Scotland. It’s a must to use pure butter. Traditionally, shortbread contains no other flavor.

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British) by Marlin Rinehart

This 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.

Swiss Meringue by Samantha Rivera

So as you may remember from an earlier post that I have never made Meringue. Being brought up with a healthy eating JammyMummy we had loads of scrumptious food, but, I don't remember meringue.

Banocolate Pie Treats by Hungry Jenny

These are a little fiddly to make but are cute little treats to dish out for a dinner party. The pie base is made out of almonds and dates, so is a healthier kind of fat to your usual biscuit and butter base. But you must keep these chilled under just ready to serve as the base melts quite quickly ;-)…

Cranberry Orange Cookie Bites by Hungry Jenny

These 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!…

Healthy Fruit and Nut bars by Angie Wilkes

Homemade version of Nak'd bars. Easy to make, very versatile. If you love the taste of Nak’d bars, but you’re not so keen on the price, try making your own – you won’t believe how easy these are to make. This is the basic recipe for the bars, but you can add whatever flavourings you want. I’ve used vanilla, but I suggest…
