For our April 2019 Great British Bake Off Challenge we thought we’d tackle something savory, since February and March brought you sweet treats. I’ve never made a pasty (that’s pah-stee) before—let along a Cornish pasty—so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Obviously I turned to Paul Hollywood’s recipe for my inspiration, and then browsed a few others to get a sense of possible variations in method and technique. (I had some issues with Paul Hollywood’s GBBO recipe as it appears on BBC.com, so I had to do some research to get clarity. I think the recipe you’ll find below resolves the issues; see the note at the end if you are curious!)

Flaounces is also called as flaounca which is a special Easter and Ramadhan food eaten during those special day in Cyprus , an Islan...

What do you get when you cross a doughnut with a muffin? A duffin! A few weeks ago my colleagues and I were discussing my latest baking experiment (lemon and lime drizzle cake, as seen here!) and one of them suggested a new baking challenge for me. This was how I came to receive an email with the header ‘Your next assignment…’ which contained a picture of a jammy treat with the caption ‘…The Duffin!’ I had been itching to have a go at making doughnuts ever since seeing the challenge on the Great British Bake off last year. The only thing stopping me had been the fact that I don’t own any kind of frying equipment. I hadn’t heard of a duffin before, but when I looked up recipes I found that there is no frying involved. This sealed the deal for me – I was going to have to give them a go. Here’s how! First you make up your muffin mixture (I used THIS recipe) and spoon two thirds into a greased muffin tray. Then spoon some raspberry jam on top, or to make it all a biteasier you can use a squeezy bottle for the jam like […]

Prue’s cinnamon buns are a lot quicker and easier to make than the traditional yeasted treats, but they’re just as delicious and get an extra hit of flavour with tart apples, almond icing and chopped pecans.

What could be more magical than making a rainbow? We’ve chosen rainbow hues for this dough, but feel free to experiment with your own favourite colours to make the bagels your own.

This is a simpler, party-size version of the Showstopper Challenge, but there’s still plenty to do! The Christmas-tree patterned joconde (or almond sponge) contains three fillings: bitter-chocolate mousse, creamy raspberry mousse and raspberry jelly infused with fresh basil. Chocolate and raspberry decorations add the finishing touch.

The perfect dessert for a New Year celebration, these ‘snow eggs’ are balls of fluffy meringue suspended in delicious crème anglaise and topped with a caramel cage for a bit of sweet crunch. Serve in cocktail glasses to reflect the party mood.

Created to celebrate Prince Regent Luitpold, born in March 1821 and who reigned from 1886–1912, this traditional Bavarian cake is made up of eight layers of sponge, symbolising the eight administrative districts of Bavaria that existed at the time.

All the elements of a sticky-toffee pudding plus toffee apples in one cake! The sponge layers are made with dates, spices and pieces of dried apple.

These twice-baked soufflés would make a stunning starter, or a sophisticated light lunch served with a side salad. You can prepare them in advance and then bake for the second time just before serving.

This is a classic British crusty loaf. It’s easy to make and suitable for everything from dunking in bowls of hearty soup to serving up with cheese and pickles in a homemade Ploughman’s.

This is a classic pâtissérie-style fruit tart made with a sablé Breton base – the salt (fleur de sel) comes from Brittany. The base is thick, buttery and crisp, and is easy to make in a sandwich tin, and the berry topping is the very essence of summer.

This nutty version of the classic bake has already got the Hollywood Handshake seal of approval and can be put together in no time at all. Liam has used bar shaped moulds here, but you could use any silicone shapes that you like.
