Cookie Dough Waffle

✅ Easy to make This is my favourite experiment so far, I love cookies and I knew this would be a great one to try. Cooking the cookie dough in the waffle maker gave it a caramelised flavour and made them crispier than when baking. I would suggest to cook it until it is only slightly crispy as it will still harden once it cools down. I serve mine with some ice cream and peanut butter a fantastic dessert to share!

Apple and Cinnamon Pastries

Bakes, Breakfast, Dessert And Sweets, To Share, Vegetarian

Pastries are a delicious way to start your day, my favourite are puff pastry ones. For these Apple and cinnamon pastries I used red apple although you could use green too. The secret to add more flavour is to use a fruit spread, I used the apple and cinnamon from St Dalfour. The required skills to make these are basic, I used ready rolled puff pastry which is so convenient. These pastries have no added sugar, are super flaky, made in no time and delicious. Here are the ingredients you will need: Ready rolled puff pastry 1 Apple St Dalfour Apple and cinnamon fruit spread Method: Using a cookie cutter, cut circles of approximately 8cm wide, slice your apple and remove the seeds Spread the fruit spread over the pastry…
