School Holiday Bake: Galaxy Star Biscuits

Galaxy Star Biscuits

After months of home-schooling, I think many of us are well and truly running out of ideas for keeping children entertained

 

This fab recipe will help to pass the time productively.

It is great for all children, young and old (and adults too of course), as it’s simple and fun, but gives impressive results.

Aprons recommended!

Make the perfect Pimm’s

Make the perfect Pimm's

There’s something delightfully civilised about serving a jug of Pimm’s

 

It always makes me feel summery and reminds me of village fetes and weddings, and sunshine.

There may be fewer summer events this year, but we can still enjoy a jug of this fruity cocktail.

By popular demand: Yogurt Cake

Yogurt Cake

Yogurt Cake

We get many requests, but one of our most requested recipes is the Yogurt Cake from an early Dairy Diary.

It’s yummy, but I think its appeal is down to its simplicity. It’s incredibly quick to make. Give it a try, you won’t believe how speedy it is.

Plus 2 delicious and moist fruit loaves

One of my particular favourite loaf cakes is this Pineapple, Coconut & Fruit Loaf.

It’s moist with the addition of pineapple juice but also has a slight crunch thanks to the coconut. Delicious!

Then there’s this Plum Bread from the Around Britain cookbook.

It’s a classic from Lincolnshire, adapted from a recipe created at The George at Stamford.

Top tip: I always use a ready-made loaf tin liner before I begin. It saves a lot of faff lining the tin and makes the cake really easy to lift out.
