Mad Mummified Cookies
Impress the kids with these simple to make (but very tasty) Gingerbread style cookies. You can choose to either use a simple Gingerbread Man cutter or a simple round shape to create your own mummified designs.
Fig and walnut oatcakes
A simple biscuit. The butter makes it nice and crumbly. Any cheese you fancy works on top of one of these, so they make the perfect companion for your cheese board.
Goat's cheese straws with anchovy and fennel
Everyone loves a cheese straw – and they are the perfect party food. We love to serve them at drinks parties as they can easily be pulled out for last minute festive gatherings. Just take them to the egg wash and sesame seed stage and freeze till needed. Defrost then follow the method for baking. This version gives a slightly more grown up take on the classic with tangy goat’s cheese, salty anchovies, with the addition of aromatic fennel seeds and a hit of heat from dried chilli.
Wensleydale Cheese Scones
As picnic season approaches, these favourites of ours, make an excellent addition to a picnic. Best eaten on the day they’re baked, or run them through an oven to refresh them the next. We love them sliced in half and filled with a fresh curd cheese or cream cheese, a sweet onion marmalade and some peppery rocket leaves.
