The traditions of British baking stretch back to King Alfred and the burnt cakes, so it's no surprise that you all have such a wealth of cakes, biscuits and other sweet goodies in your repertoire. From tea breads to celebration cakes, there is plenty here to appeal!
After trying a couple of recipes for apple crumble cake we decided to make up our own version but use the blackberries which are in profusion in the hedges of our field at the moment. This is the result and it is lovely, especially warm with ice crea
Here is a recipe my sister in law gave me who is American. The mix comes out like a batter not a dough. You could use other fruit instead of blueberries. The muffins are really lovely but they are not cakes and a bit less sweet than cakes.
Makes 12. These breakfast muffins are best served warm but can be left to cool completely and eaten at any time of the day! I usually substitute cranberries (lightly dusted in icing sugar) for half the blueberries.
