115g butter
100g soft brown sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp black treacle
2 tbsps water
2 ½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp milk powder (optional but does add a lovely creamy gingerbread latte type of taste)
Begin by adding the oil and popping corn to a large pan with a lid.

Bacon Gruyere & Tomato Tartlets
Such a perfect little bite to eat – these little bites of loveliness are just right whether they’re a snack for hungry hoards after school or gracing the table at an afternoon tea.
Just one word of warning from me, do not eat one warm from the cooling rack, you won’t be able to stop at just the one and half will have disappeared before anyone else gets a look in!

Lemon & Blueberry Scone Slices
Ingredients:
330g self raising flour

40g caster sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
120g blueberries, frozen
180ml milk
Juice of 1 lemon
2 heaped tablespoons of icing sugar
Makes: 6 large scone slices
The blueberries in this recipe are best frozen, which stops them completely disintegrating and bleeding too much on baking, buy them fresh and then simply pop them in the freezer before you get going, you don’t need to buy them ready frozen.
Dulce de Leche Brownies
Let’s talk Brownies – we love them! But…. some recipes can leave you underwhelmed and lacking the three things I think are ESSENTIAL in a good brownie – a thin papery crust on the top, a squidgy middle and a complete chocolatey taste.
