Long Description to add
Stollen
Those who find a traditional fruit cake too heavy might enjoy Stollen which, although it still contains dried fruit, it altogether lighter. And, of course, the sweet-toothed will love the seam of marzipan running through the middle!
Makes 1 loafBara Brith
This classic yeasty, fruity tea bread is traditional in Wales. During her Welsh childhood, Delia remembers it being spread with lots of butter at teatime. Easy and cheap to make, it keeps well and is a real treat.
Makes about 10 sconesButtermilk Scones with West Country Clotted Cream and Raspberry Butter
What could be a more classic teatime treat than scones fresh from the oven, served with lashings of clotted cream and intensely flavoured raspberry butter. Baking doesn't get any better than this!
Serves 4Queen of Puddings
With a royally good taste, queen of puddings is one of those old-fashioned desserts that should find favour in a recession: cheap and easy but no less delicious for it.
Serves 8Little Sticky Toffee Puddings with Pecan Toffee Sauce
Why not freeze these gorgeous little puds for a very special dessert? Your guests will love the wonderful flavours of this real treat.
Serves 6Eton Mess
Invented at Eton for 4 June celebrations, this easy summery dessert is one of the quickest and most delectable ways to enjoy home-grown strawberries, couple with cream and meringue. Yum!
Serves 6Hot Chocolate Rum Soufflé with Chocolate Sauce
Chocolate lovers will think they've died and gone to heaven if you serve them this sumptuous souffle. And souffle makers will be pleased to hear that, even if it sinks a little, this dessert will still be fabulous.
Makes about 6Canadian Buttermilk Pancakes with Maple Syrup
The Canadian bit comes from the maple syrup - that sticky, sweet, caramelly ingredient that lifts pancakes into the realm of the heavenly. Using buttermilk makes pancakes particularly light and moreish.
Serves 6Melting Chocolate Risotto
Although risotto is usually savoury, think rice pudding and you'll get the point of this lovely, unusual chocolate dessert.
Serves 6Raspberry Crumble
Raspberries may not be the obvious choice for a crumble, but their sharpness perfectly offsets the sweetness and texture of the topping. Give it a go!
