Quiche Lorraine:

Ingredients:

For the pastry:

175g/6oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting
salt
75g/2¾oz butter, plus extra for greasing
(alternatively use ready made pastry)

For the filling:

250g/9oz English cheddar, grated
4 tomatoes, sliced (optional)
200g/7oz bacon, chopped
5 eggs, beaten
100ml/3½fl oz milk
200ml/7fl oz double cream
salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs of fresh thyme

Preparation method:

To make the pastry, sift the flour together with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until you have a soft breadcrumb texture. Add enough cold water to make the crumb mixture come together to form a firm dough, and then rest it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll out the pastry on a light floured surface and line a 22cm/8½inch well-buttered flan dish. Don't cut off the edges of the pastry yet. Chill again.
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
Remove the pastry case from the fridge and line the base of the pastry with baking parchment and then fill it with baking beans. Place on a baking tray and bake blind for 20 minutes. Remove the beans and parchment and return to the oven for another five minutes to cook the base
Reduce the temperature of the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
Sprinkle the cheese into the pastry base and add the sliced tomatoes if you are using them. Fry the bacon pieces until crisp and sprinkle over them over the top.
Combine the eggs with the milk and cream in a bowl and season well. Pour over the bacon and cheese. Sprinkle the thyme over the top and trim the edges of the pastry.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool and set further.
Trim the pastry edges to get a perfect edge and then serve in wedges.

Who the hell has a name like that

 

Maltesers cupcakes

Ingredients
For the sponge

200 g softened butter
150 g caster sugar
50 g brown sugar
2 drops vanilla extract
4 sized eggs
200 g plain flour
10 g baking powder
pinches salt
80 g maltesers
For the butter cream

250 g butter
500 g icing sugar, sifted
2 drops vanilla extract
55 g roughly crushed maltesers


Method

1. For the sponge: preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a cupcake/muffin tin with cupcake cases. Cream together the butter and both sugars until it is light and fluffy. You can use an electric hand whisk to do this.

2. Add all the vanilla and then the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. If the mixture begins to look like it has curdled add a couple of table spoons of the flour and beat well until the mixture looks smooth.

3. Using a metal spoon fold in the flour, baking powder and salt (add them altogether) and then stir in the maltesers.

4. Divide the mixture equally between the 12 cupcake cases and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until a skewer (or toothpick) inserted in to the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Onced cooked remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.

5. For the buttercream: using and electric hand whisk, whisk together the butter, icing sugar and vanilla until it becomes pale and fluffy.

6. To decorate: once the cupcakes are ready, you can either dollop the buttercream on top of each cupcake and spread it around with a knife. Or for a more professional look fit a piping bag with a 1cm star nozzle and pipe the buttercream on top of the cupcakes. Sprinkle on some crushed maltesers to finish.
