American Style Pancakes
2020-08-05 15:29
Americans like their pancakes more... cakey... than we do traditionally, but to be fair they taste pretty awesome when covered in syrup or honey. Although traditionally served at breakfast, they make a good dessert too.
They're quick and easy to make, although if your pans are small, you may want a couple of pans on the go at once so that you can make several pancakes at a time
The measurements here will make around 10 pancakes
Cheese Scones

I prefer fruit scones, layered with cream and jam, but a savoury cheese scone is nice too - especially when still warm from the oven and coated in butter.
This will make 6 reasonable sized scones
McDonalds Hash Brown
2020-04-06 09:51
McDonalds closed all of it's restaurants as part of the Coronavirus response. However, they've shared a recipe card with The Mirror so that we can make their Sausage and Egg McMuffin at home - as an added "bonus" they included instructions to make a hash brown to go on the side.
Depending on the size of your potato, this will make several
Sausage and Egg McMuffin

McDonalds closed all of it's restaurants as part of the Coronavirus response. However, they've shared a recipe card with The Mirror so that we can make their Sausage and Egg McMuffin at home.
They've also shared a recipe for a Hash Brown so that we can have one of those on the side.
It's probably the simplest of their recipes that they could have shared, and does seem to taste pretty close to what you get in one of their branches (though, unsurprisingly, isn't nearly as convenient to make as it is to order). The only thing I really found is that it's hard to make the patty's as thin as they do, meaning you can't easily build a double sausage and egg mcmuffin
The recipe makes 1 - just multiply the measurements by the number you want to make
Cinnamon Soda Bread

Soda bread can be a bit heavy and flavourless, so I figured I'd try and sweeten it up and give it a little bit of flavour. Ginger takes some of that edge back off.
You can use all Plain or all Self-raising if you don't have one or the other.
Best served hot with a thick glob of butter - even better if you make an open-face sandwich with bacon and steak on top
