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.
Gluten-free, Dairy-free Christmas Cake
This is a blend of the most successful Victoria sponge recipe (soon to appear here) and a traditional Christmas cake recipe.
Chelsea Buns
Our new discovery Schar Gluten-Free Bread Mix makes great cinnamon rolls and chelsea buns.
Simple White Bread
A pretty good and simple bread recipe.
Bourbon biscuits
Classic English chocolate biscuits (cookies) – crisp and sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream.
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.
Freezer Cookies
This does make a good oatmeal / raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.
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.
Muffins
These muffins are our gluten-free staple, good made with blackberries, cranberries, raspberries and blueberries (not strawberries though). There are also pear and ginger muffins, cinnamon pecan muffins, lemon poppy seed muffins and other inventions yet to be imagined:-) All can be made by adapting this basic recipe.
