Scottish ShortbreadThis 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.

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British)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.

Pão de Ló - Portuguese Sponge CakeI have always loved this recipe, especially when one is able to cook in in such a way that the middle part is still wet.

Butter and Flour Free Chocolate CakeThis 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. |

It’s a simple but rich, buttery cake with fresh apple slices dipped in cinnamon-sugar tucked into the batter before baking. Serve as a coffee cake, if desired.
