Apple Cake, Apple Pie, Apple Clafoutis, Apple Pancakes, Apple Crumble, … I have made so many Apple desserts and snacks, but I have never tried to add Apple to Doughnuts. So, I tried. First I grated Apple and ended up adding a lot more Flour than I wished to add because of the juice. I …
When I was given my husband’s family’s recipes, I came across quite a few recipes that require Custard Powder. Theo’s Sponge (Custard Powder Sponge) is one of them. I never knew about Custard Powder until I first saw my husband’s mother making Custard with it. It seemed Custard Powder used to be an essential item …
Frozen Butter Puff Pastry if very handy to stock in the freezer. I often wrap sweetened Fruit, Azuki Paste OR Chocolate with the Puff Pastry, and bake them in the oven. Today I used Cherries. However, Cherries are not in season now and I couldn’t find Frozen Cherries either. So I used 1 can of …
I have a great recipe for ‘Oats & Banana Cookies’. They can be made with No Egg, No Flour, No Dairy. The binding ingredient is Ripe Banana, so they taste Banana. The other day, I wanted to make Cocoa flavoured Oats Cookies, but I didn’t have Banana. So I made a new recipe. You need …

At Christmas time every year, my husband’s Auntie Joan kindly gives us her homemade Marmalade. We don’t eat it much, but her Marmalade is perfect for this cake. This cake is only for grown-ups because it is alcoholic as I added Whisky to the batter and brushed with extra Whisky on top. I believe Whisky …
Pancakes are such a popular snack and I assume you cook them, too. Why don’t you try these Coconut Milk Pancakes for a change? Just replace Milk that you usually use with Coconut Milk. The batter tends to become thicker than normal. You can adjust the thickness right for you by adding some Water. If …
I have a very precious Gingerbread recipe. I often made Gingerbread Men with my children when they were young. But I don’t remember when was the last time. Today I made the proper Gingerbread for the first time in many years, but I couldn’t bother cutting it out into shapes. I rolled the dough into …
I needed to use some leftover Mixed Dried Fruit, so I decided to add them to Scones. All my Scone recipes are based on Auntie Loran’s recipe that doesn’t require Egg. The amount of the leftover Mixed Dried Fruit was not enough, so I added extra Sultanas and Black Currants. I was afraid that I …
The other day, I wanted to use up a can of Crushed Pineapple and I googled for cake recipes. Some American recipes came up, and again I was shocked at the amount of Sugar they required. Some recipes required 2 cups Sugar on top of 1 can Crushed Pineapple which is sweet. I added just …
