‘Very pale and oddly wrinkly’: the best (and worst) supermarket hot cross buns for Easter, tested | The food filter

1 week ago | theguardian.com | Edd Kimber

I’m a big fan of seasonal bakes – there’s something special about a treat reserved for a short window of time. Their rare appearance makes them something to look forward to, and to relish. Supermarkets like to push the limits of these seasons, though, and these days hot cross buns are available for a surprisingly long time – often appearing on shelves as early as January.

Try Edd Kimber's solskinnsboller, then try cinnamon rolls, hot cross kanelbullar or babka buns. Cinnamon buns are a staple country and over the past decade cardamom buns have also grown in popularity as Swedish baking has become more common on our little island. This recipe is inspired by another traditional Scandinavian bun, the solskinnsboller from Norway.

Pistachio and chocolate cookies

1 month ago | olivemagazine.com | Edd Kimber

As with its chocolate and hazelnut sibling, not all pistachio cream is made with quality in mind. My personal preference is to check the back of the jar and look for a version that declares it is made with at least 45% pistachios – you’ll be looking at a much better quality product. When the percentage of pistachios isn’t mentioned, sugar tends to the most prominent ingredient, with pistachios as more of an afterthought, leading to an overly sweet product.
Old-fashioned puddings

1 month ago | bbc.co.uk | Nigel Slater |Annie Rigg |Simon Hopkinson |Edd Kimber

by Nigella LawsonMy STP is altogether deeper and darker than the original version: it is still sweet, but the muscovado sugar and black treacle give it an almost savage intensity. It seems redolent of ginger, cloves, allspice – and yet none of these spices are used. It’s a miracle. I don’t understand it – but then, miracles are not to be questioned. Equipment: You will need a 23x23cm/9x9in square baking dish.
