Soft white rolls

After my success making wholemeal bread rolls, I thought I would give soft white rolls a go and these turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I’ve really got into bread making recently – there’s something incredibly satisfying about it.

Dippy Duck Eggs and Soldiers

This is so simple I’m not sure I can really get away with calling it a recipe, but I wanted to share the joy of duck eggs with you! Duck eggs are very similar to hen eggs but they are bigger and meatier. The yolk is lovely and rich, and the white is a bit heavier and more substantial. They’re...

Big Fluffy Pancakes

NB – These pancakes are best made the night before you need them! It’s crucial to the fluffiness! I first had these pancakes on a blisteringly hot morning in Adelaide, Australia. My godfather got this recipe from a friend of his, and it is quite simply one of the best fluffy pancake recipes I’ve ever come across. I know...
