Quick Corn Fritter Recipe | New Zealand Brunch Classic

Quick Corn Fritter Recipe | New Zealand Brunch Classic

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m more than slightly obsessed about brunch. It’s my favourite meal of the day, up there with afternoon tea. So, I thought I’d share one of me favourite dishes – my no fail, really quick corn fritter recipe that’s perfect for last minute plans (and/or curing over indulgence from the night before.) There’s just something about the gathering of family and friends around a well set table that makes… View Post

Date Scones Recipe | A Kiwi Classic

Date Scones Recipe | A Kiwi Classic

Piping hot, fluffy scones with mouth watering nuggets of dates, topped with butter melting into their hot surface. If you keep reading, consider yourself warned that this date scones recipe is addictive – made with simple store cupboard ingredients, they are ridiculously easy and scrumptious.  Sorry, where was I?

Lolly Cake Recipe | A Kiwi Classic

Lolly Cake Recipe | A Kiwi Classic

Fancy a taste that is pure New Zealand indulgence? Bring on the Lolly Cake Recipe. This is a New Zealand institution, and I can almost guarantee that to bring a homesick Kiwi to their knees, or if you want to bribe them into doing something horrendous, make this Lolly Cake recipe. For it to be truly authentic, you need to use Griffins Malt Biscuits and Pascal Eskimo Lollies – but in the UK Malted Milk biscuits and firm… View Post
