Apple Tea Cakes

-
I've been wanting to add this classic Tea Cake recipe to my collection.  They are so easy to make and you only need some basic ingredients.

I decided to make the tea cakes in a 12 mini loaf tin that I recently purchased.  However, you can make it in a round or square cake tin.

These mini Apple Tea Cakes are simply delicious and perfect for everyday.  They are not overly sweet, making it ideal to have with a cup of tea or coffee.  I added some apples on top but you can make it without it and just sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Viennese Biscuits

These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.
