Coconut brunch pancakes

On a Sunday morning we all tend to be a little lazy, I normally lounge around in my pyjamas until lunch, and the perfect morning treat I think is a stack of American style pancakes.  My obsession with coconut has infiltrated this recipe, as I have made coconut pancakes with strawberries and honey. What a combo! The great thing about these is they are so simple and quick to make, and taste divine.

This makes enough for one person or 3 medium American pancakes.

 Ingredients:

 70g plain  flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp dessicated coconut
70ml milk
1 medium egg
1 tbsp melted butter and extra for greasing the pan
Strawberries and honey to serve with

 Method:

 Mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another. Make a well in the middle of the dry bowl and add all of the wet mix. Gently whisk the two together - this will have lumps in it due to the coconut, but the flour should be well combined. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes.

 Heat up a heavy pan, and melt a little bit of butter in it. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan. When the top begins to bubble it is time to flip the pancake over, then cook until both sides are golden.

 Repeat until all the batter is used up, then serve with toppings of your choice, strawberries and honey are my favourites.

 This is definitely best enjoyed in your PJs on the sofa with a big cup of breakfast tea. Enjoy x

Bourbon Chocolate Brownies

There seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment for brownies with all kinds of sweets and biscuits added to the top to give an extra dimension to these absolute classic bakes. Doing the rounds on Instagram which caught my eye were Bourbon brownies, in particular Frances Quinn's version (Former GBBO winner). Her food imagination and photography is always beautiful and well worth checking out. I have used my own brownie recipe which combines cocoa and melted dark chocolate topped with neat rows of Bourbons, making a brownie which perfectly compliments a good cup of tea. Time to get dunking! Ingredients: 220g butter 180g caster sugar 150g light muscovado sugar 50g cocoa powder 50g dark chocolate (70%) 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs 120g plain flour 1 packet of Bourbons - I used 13 ontop of my batter, but you can add more or less depending on how you want your brownies to look. Method: Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C fan assisted and line a brownie tin. In ...

Giant Ferrero Rocher cake

Hello friends.  A few weeks ago my lovely friend Liz posted a link to me of a lady who had created an awesome giant Ferrero Rocher cake (this is her blog filled with fantastic bakes - http://www.sugarhero.com/) , and then the challenge was born. Liz and her husband Matt had their first child 6 months ago and today marked his Dedication day, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to attempt the bake (and it had the up side of having lots of people there to eat the cake!).  This was really fun to make, but I did it slowly over a week or so and whilst it looks like a Rocher inside it doesn't have a giant hazelnut  and creamy filling, but instead layers of chocolate cake and hazelnut  mousse. The biggest tip I have for you, if you want to try this special bake, is make sure you have some form of cake release in your chocolate sphere moulds. The trickiest part of this creation I found was tempting the delicate shells away from the plastic mo...

Visiting MADRID

Hello friends, Over the past couple of years I have visited Madrid more times than I can remember, for long weekends and at the start and end of holidays. I feel like I know parts of the city very well, but like any capital there is always more to see. I could probably write an essay about Madrid as a whole so for this post I wanted to introduce you to my favourite place to visit - I go here at least once per trip to Spain, and I hope you will want to visit it too if you are ever in the neighbourhood. The Mercado de San Miguel In English this translates to the market of San Miguel, and it is located in the older part of the city, very close to the Royal Palace, Opera Square and Plaza Mayor (all places that are also deserving of a visit). In a nut shell, this is a glass building which inside contains a very wide array of stalls with many of the different delicious types of food and drink that Madrid has to offer.  The beauty of this market is that within o...
