  • Apple Porridge Scones 🍎⁠

    This gorgeous seasonal take on the classic scone combines the wholesome goodness of oats and the sweet, tangy flavour of apples, and we think they are the perfect autumnal mid-morning treat!⁠

    We especially like to serve them with a dollop of our Blackberry Jam, and some of the fresh berries from the brambles too 😋⁠

    Ingredients:⁠
    – 2 cups all-purpose flour⁠
    – 1 cup rolled oats⁠
    – 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced⁠
    – 1 cup buttermilk⁠
    – 1/4 cup brown sugar⁠
    – 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted⁠
    – 2 tsp baking powder⁠
    – 1/2 tsp baking soda⁠
    – 1/2 tsp salt⁠
    – 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon⁠
    – 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg⁠
    – 1 egg⁠

    Methodology:⁠
    – Preheat your oven to 220°C.⁠
    – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.⁠
    – In a bowl, mix the oats with the buttermilk and let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.⁠
    – In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the brown sugar to the flour mixture and combine well.⁠
    – Stir the melted butter and egg into the oat and buttermilk mixture.⁠
    – Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined and gently fold in the diced apples.⁠
    – Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it.⁠
    With floured hands, gently shape the dough into a round, about 1-inch thick and using your hands shape into about 8 wedges.⁠
    – Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.⁠
    – Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.⁠

Lemongrass Coconut Cake by Rachel Allen @Ballymaloe

Rachel Allen’s Cake Diaries


A quirky combination. The end result? A scrumptious cake for all to enjoy.
Ingredients
4 stalks of lemongrass, base and tops trimmed, outer leaves removed but reserved for the syrup (see below)
250 g (9oz) caster sugar
4 eggs
200 g (7oz) butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
125 g (41/2 oz) desiccated coconut
125 g (41/2 oz) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp baking powder
greek yoghurt or creme fraiche, to serve
for the syrup
reserved trimmings and outer leaves of the lemongrass (see above)
75 g (3oz) caster sugar
23cm (9in) diameter cake tin with 6cm
Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F/Gas 3). Butter the sides of the cake tin and dust with flour, then line the base with a disc of baking parchment.
Slice the lemongrass stalks quite thinly into rounds about 3mm (1?8in) thick, then place in a food processor with the caster sugar and whiz for 1–2 minutes or until the lemongrass is finely puréed and very aromatic.
Add the eggs, butter and coconut and whiz again until combined, then sift the flour and baking powder together and add to the machine, whizzing very briefly just until the ingredients come together.
Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40–45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. While the cake is cooking, make the syrup.
Roughly chop the lemongrass trimmings, place in a saucepan with the sugar and 75ml (3fl oz) of water and set over a high heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved, then bring to the boil and boil for 2 minutes before removing from the heat and leaving to infuse.
When the cake has finished baking, take it out of the oven and let it sit in the tin for 10 minutes. Loosen around the edges using a small, sharp knife and carefully remove the cake from the tin before transferring to a serving plate.
Reheat the syrup, then pierce holes all over the cake with a skewer and pour the hot syrup through a sieve onto the cake, moving the pan and sieve around as you pour so that the syrup covers the top of the cake. Allow the cake to cool down completely.
Serve with a dollop of natural Greek yoghurt or crème fraiche.

  • Our choice of chopping boards for many reasons over 40 years.1d
  • katielewis4096When my brother got a new kitchen, he gave me an off cut of his wooden worktop which makes an ideal chopping board. So ask a kitchen fitter if they have any spare bits!
