There’s something special about freshly baked scones 🤍

🍎 KITCHEN HACK: Stop cut apples from browning!

For 2 apples, stir 1 tsp sea salt into 150ml cold water & soak for up to 1 hour. Rinse, pat dry & use straight away or keep chilled in fresh water.

Did you know apple sauce can replace sugar in baking? 🍎

Use a 1:1 ratio and reduce the other liquid by 60ml. To make it, cook peeled apples with 2 tbsp of water, purée and allow to cool before using.

A simple way to reduce sugar and use up extra apples!

🍫 Want smooth, shiny chocolate ganache every time?

Remember the 2:1 ratio — 2 parts good-quality chocolate to 1 part warm, full-fat cream. And keep the heat low! Too much heat can cause your ganache to split and turn grainy.

🤍 Stop buying vanilla extract — make your own!

Simply add 2 vanilla pods to 100ml vodka, seal and leave in a cool, dark place for at least 3 weeks. The longer it infuses, the better the flavour.

Easy, delicious & money-saving! 🙌
