My Super Easy Cobbler recipes are all literally super easy. Basically, you melt Butter in a baking dish, pour the Batter that is made with Flour, Sugar and Milk, then add Fruit, and bake. Using canned Fruit, it can be made any time, really quickly. Today I used canned Apple slices. Of course you can …
I found some leftover Silken Tofu in the fridge. I decided to make Tofu Doughnuts. You need No Egg and No Dairy products to make these doughnuts. Silken Tofu is basically thickened Soy Milk. It can be used for baking a variety of things. Today I coated them with ‘Kinako’ Sugar. ‘Kinako’ is finely ground …
Cinnamon flavoured Apple Pie is of course lovely and I like it the best, but today I added Lemon Curd to the filling for a change. For Apple Pie, I prefer Shortcrust Pastry to Puff Pastry. Make slightly more pastry and use the same pastry for the crumble. This recipe is based on my ‘Cherry …
The other day, when I was making Caramel to make ‘Coffee Creme Caramel’, I realised that I could make ‘Almond Toffee’ much easier. I usually cook Butter and Sugar together until the mixture turns brown, but I could cook just Sugar first, then add Butter and Almonds. I tried to make ‘Almond Toffee’ in that …
A few days ago, I wanted to make Chocolate Caramel Slice. To make Chocolate Caramel Slice, you need to bake the base pastry, then pour the Caramel Filling over the base, and bake it again. It’s summer now and I didn’t want to use oven when it is hot. So, I decided to use biscuit …

Recently I made several cakes that required Candied Orange Peel. Then I discovered that no shop sells it where I live. I used Mixed Citrus Peel that is widely available. My family members regularly eat Oranges and throw away the peel. So, I decided to make Candied Orange Peel today. It is much easier than …

Today I used Peanuts and added Ground Chilli. Chilli and Sugar are a good combination. It’s quite addictive. Ingredients …
I nearly named this dessert ‘Banana Meringue Pie’ but it is not a pie. There is no pie pastry in this dessert. The bottom layer is actually Sweet Biscuits.
