115g butter

100g soft brown sugar

1 tbsp golden syrup

1 tbsp black treacle

2 tbsps water

2 ½ tsp ground ginger

Working with chocolate doesn’t have to be challenging! How about making a lacy chocolate collar for your showstopper of a bake – here’s how…

Such a perfect little bite to eat – these little bites of loveliness are just right whether they’re a snack for hungry hoards after school or gracing the table at an afternoon tea.

Just one word of warning from me, do not eat one warm from the cooling rack, you won’t be able to stop at just the one and half will have disappeared before anyone else gets a look in!

Ingredients:

330g self raising flour

75g butter, cold diced

40g caster sugar

Zest of 1 lemon

120g blueberries, frozen

180ml milk

Juice of 1 lemon

2 heaped tablespoons of icing sugar

Makes: 6 large scone slices

The blueberries in this recipe are best frozen, which stops them completely disintegrating and bleeding too much on baking, buy them fresh and then simply pop them in the freezer before you get going, you don’t need to buy them ready frozen.
