I have a really good ‘Carrot Cake’ recipe. My family members started calling it Hiroko’s Legendary Carrot Cake, so I have named it ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’. Key ingredients include Pineapple and Sultanas. I added those to these pancakes. These pancakes are not very sweet, but they taste lovely. One day this recipe might be …
Several months ago, I bought a packet of Mixed Dried Fruit. I needed to use it and decided to make Mixed Fruit Slice. To make this type of cake, you really don’t need a recipe, do you? I just mixed cake ingredients that I wished to use, then added Milk to make the right texture. …
I had a lot of leftover Dried Fruit in my pantry. I decided to make a Fruit Cake and looked for recipes. I found many recipes on the internet, but most recipes are for a very large cake. So, I used my Basic Pound Cake recipe, replaced Caster Sugar with Brown Sugar, and added Dried …
Betty is my husband’s grandfather Theo’s sister. If you know my recipe ‘Lorna’s Scones’, Betty is Lorna’s older sister. Lorna was a great cook, and so was Betty. This is one of her recipes. This pudding is supposed to be steamed in the traditional method, that takes 2 & 1/2 hours. That is not energy …
My family’s consumption of Yoghurt has dropped after we stopped eating Granola, that is a very high calorie food. I have been making Greek Yoghurt at home for many years, but I must say I have to stop making it as nobody is eating it. The reason why I made these Yoghurt Scones was simple. …
It seems my family members have been enjoying 100% Oats Bread. Today I added Apple and Sultana Raisins, and made it slightly sweeter. The ingredients of this bread are almost identical to the Porridge that I eat for breakfast. Just mix all ingredients and pour into a lined loaf tin, then leave it in a …
The other day, when I was cooking ‘Ukrainian Inspired Cabbage Pancakes’ again, as I am loving them, I thought I could make sweet pancakes in the same way using Apple, then I tried. I used Granny Smith Apple. A lot of juice came out from it and made the batter very runny. I didn’t squeeze …
Rum Raisins go very well with Cream Cheese as we know Cheesecake with Rum Raisins is delicious. It is good to have a jar of Rum-Steeped Raisins OR Sultanas in the pantry for always. Today I added some Rum-Steeped Sultanas to Cream Cheese Cupcakes. It couldn’t go wrong, could it? Of course cupcakes were delicious. …
To save blackening Banana, I often freeze it after mashed it. Frozen mashed Banana is very easy to use as it thaws very quickly. Today I made these cookies, that are very similar to my ‘No Sugar Muesli Bars’. But I didn’t add Egg, because I made them for a family member who is Vegan. …
There is a baked pastry called ‘Escargot’ and I love it. The one that a local bakery is selling has Custard and Sultanas in it. These ‘Puff Pastry Twists’ are inspired by the bakery’s ‘Escargot’. It takes only a few minutes to make the Custard in the microwave. Using store-bought Frozen Butter Puff Pastry, these …
‘Pampushky’ are Ukrainian Bread Rolls. They can be savoury OR sweet, and baked OR deep-fried. As the ‘Jam Filled ‘Pampushky’ that I made the other day were so good, today I used the same dough to make these Easter ‘Pampushky’. They are almost same as Hot Cross Buns, but the texture is similar to Doughnuts. …
Some Apples were turning wrinkly and I stewed them. I stored the stewed Apple in the fridge. On a hot day, I ate the chilled stewed Apple with leftover whipped Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream. As I always have a jar of Rum-steeped Sultanas, I poured some over the Ice Cream. And it was bloody …
