  • 25g garlic butter, softened
  • 25g crispy breadcrumbs

Orange Drizzle Loaf

Though Jaffa Cakes are the subject of much debate (is it a cake or a biscuit? We’d go for cake personally), it is difficult to argue with their household name status.

If you are a fan of the sweet and tangy combination of chocolate and orange then this delicious loaf is most certainly one for you! This moist and fruity cake will get everyone talking, and we’re sure it will become a firm favourite in your household.

 

Ingredients:

  • 140g butter, softened
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp milk
  • Finely grated zest 1 large orange
  • 3 tbsp orange juice
  • 50g golden caster sugar
  • 50g dark chocolate

Instructions:

Step 1 – Preheat your oven to 180C or gas mark 4. Butter and line the base of your loaf tin. Put all of your cake ingredients into a bowl and beat with a hand whisk, wooden spoon or an electric whisk if you’re feeling a little lazy. Beat the mixture for around 3 – 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 2 - Then gently spoon the mix into the tin and make sure the top is flat and level.

Step 3 – Bake your mixture for around 40 – 50 minutes or until golden brown and firm to touch.

Step 4 - Heat the orange juice and caster sugar in a small pan on a low heat. Stir until the mixture is completely dissolved.

Step 5 - When your cake is completely cooked, remove it from the oven and lightly spoon over the orange mix. Leave the cake to cool in the tin then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 6 – Break up the chocolate and melt over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave for around 1 – 2 minutes. Drizzle over the cake and leave to set. (Alternatively, you may prefer to use icing, as shown in the photo above.)

Step 7 – Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Naan Bread
  • Tomato Purée
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Your Favourite Topping(s)

Instructions:

Step 1 - Preheat your oven to 220oC (or 200 if it's a fan oven).

Step 2 - Remove your naan bread from its packet and use a knife to spread tomato purée over the surface (no need to spread it on too thick).

Step 3 - Tear up some mozzarella and arrange it on top of the naan. Use as much or as little as you please.

Step 4 - Add the other toppings. Pretty much anything tastes good on a pizza - see our previous pizza recipe for some classic topping suggestions!

Step 5 - Place your naan on a pizza tray (or, failing that, a standard baking tray). Put this tray in your preheated oven.

Step 6 - The pizza will take 5-10 minutes to cook, depending on how crispy you want it. Keep an eye on the oven to see when the cheese has melted.

Step 7 - Once you're satisfied, remove your naan pizza from the oven and tuck in!

Step 2 – Gradually stir in the milk while still beating until the mixture is a similar consistency to single cream.

Step 3 – Add the herbs and season to your taste.

Step 4 – Pour a small amount of oil into each hole of your Yorkshire pudding tray, and cook the oil in the oven (gas mark 7/200C) for 5 minutes.

Fish Pie

It’s the ultimate winter warmer, and it’s surprisingly simple to make – just follow our recipe!

Photograph by Gordon Joly (view original here)

Ingredients:

  • 2 white fish fillets (520g)
  • 200g prawns
  • 600ml whole milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 100g butter
  • 50g flour
  • 3-4 large Russet potatoes
  • 50g cheese
  • Parsley

Instructions:

Step 1 - Preheat your oven to 200oC (or 180oC if it's a fan oven).

Step 2 - Hard-boil two eggs in a saucepan (click here for a simple guide to hard-boiling).

Step 3 – While you’re waiting for the eggs to finish, put both fish fillets in a frying pan and pour the milk over them (IMPORTANT: Save 100ml of milk for later – you’ll need it for Step 10). Simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 4 – Use a spatula to remove the fillets and place them on a plate to one side. Pour the milk from the frying pan into a jug.

Step 5 – Take a pie tin or baking dish and, using a fork, flake the fish into this container. Add the prawns as well.

Step 6 – Once your eggs are ready, peel them under the cold tap, slice them into quarters, and place these quarters on top of the fish.

Step 7 – Chop up your parsley and sprinkle this into the dish.

Step 8 – Put half (50g) of your butter in a frying pan and cook it over a medium heat for about a minute, stirring in the flour as it melts. You’ll also want to start boiling your potatoes at about this point – put them in a saucepan full of water and pop them on the hob for about 20 minutes.

Step 9 – Gradually add the jugful of milk that you cooked with the fish, stirring as you go. Cook the sauce for 5-6 minutes (don’t stop stirring!) – once it’s nice and thick, pour it over your fish.

Step 10 – Are your potatoes boiled? Great! Now mash them up with the butter that’s left over from Step 8 and the milk that you kept to one side in Step 2.

Step 11 – Use a palette knife to ‘ice’ the fish pie – spread the mashed potato over the top of your dish, making sure to go all the way to the edge. Grate the cheese over the top, bake in your pre-heated oven for 30 minutes, and serve piping hot!
