Java Beef Rendang

This came from a website by Bobby Ananta, but the website seems to be long gone. The end result should be a very flavourful, hot and spicy, dry curry.

Candied orange peel

These are best made with Seville (bitter) oranges, but it might also be good to mix these with some sweet oranges for a bit of variety. The finished peel can be dipped into chocolate if you are after something more special.

Treacle Tart (gluten-free and dairy-free)

This delicious pudding makes a great alternative to Sticky Toffee Pudding. the recipe was inspired by a recipe in The Guardian created by Benjamina Ebuehi, adapted to be gluten and dairy-free.

Shortbread Swirls

Numerous variations exist from simply forgetting the swirling and making them one flavor, to substituting ginger or cinnamon for the cocoa, or orange rind for the lemon rind. Alternatively add 2oz of nuts instead of 2oz of flour, or 2oz of oats or oatmeal instead of 2oz of flour.

Victoria Sponge Cake

The best recipe for making a Victoria sponge, even though the ratios of ingredients and the mixing method are not quite traditional.

Gran’s Ginger Biscuits

A recipe I inherited from my grandmother that works surprisingly well with gluten-free flour. They can come out sticky or rock-hard depending on just how much syrup you use (the tablespoon represents the spoon my grandmother would have used, not a exact measure).

Chelsea Buns

Our new discovery Schar Gluten-Free Bread Mix makes great cinnamon rolls and chelsea buns.
