Cinnamon and raisin muffins with pear centres

Recipe by: 4eB

Be the first to review it!

Super-simple and moist muffins with a juicy liquid pear core. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can add more sugar, but the fruit in this one keeps things sweet enough as it is. Great way to use up pears that are starting to look a little past their best!

Quick and easy - you'll never go to the sandwich shop again. This recipe has a decidedly citrus twist, but feel free to embellish however you'd like - add sultanas, peppers, pineapple, nuts, spring onion, etc.

Recipe by: kez87

Be the first to review it!

Mamgu meaning grandma in welsh the recipe if im at all truthful doesnt belong to my my mamgu but a family friends nan bara brith meaning speckled bread. i love this cake spread with butter and a good cup of tea. Tips, if the cake browns quickly in your oven cover the tin with grease proof paper and return to the oven. although this cake is translated as bread it is more of a cake so dont be scared if you find you'ved sliced a cake not a piece of bread.

Tyrokafteri

Recipe by: Diana Moutsopoulos

Be the first to review it!

This ubiquitous Greek dish is served as a meze, or as a side to chips. I also like it in sandwiches. The type and amount of chilli you use is up to you - the hotter you like it, the more you should add! This produces a rather mild tyrokafteri that should please everyone's tastes - start with half a chilli if you're timid. Serve with crusty bread or pitta for an unbelievably quick and easy nibble!
