Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Line a large baking sheet with some baking paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together both sugars, milk, olive oil, orange zest and vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate, medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Tip the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until it forms a rough dough. Add the almonds and cranberries and fold them until well combined.

Step 4

Tip the mixture into a well-floured surface. Make sure your hands are well-floured too. Divide the dough into two pieces, then shape each piece into a rough log (about 5cm wide). Use the dough scraper if you have one, as it will make this process much easier. Transfer each log into the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.

Step 5

Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C. Place the logs onto the chopping board and using large, serrated knife, cut the logs into slices, about 2cm thick. Place the logs into the baking sheet, cut side down and bake again for 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 6

Allow the biscuits to cool, then dip one end of each biscotti in melted white chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set for few minutes, then drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top, in a zigzag pattern, if you would like.

TOP TIP

Biscotti have long shelf-life and will make a great festive gift for friends and family. Place them in a festive bag or a small box, tie with a festive ribbon, and voila – your edible gift is ready!

Sorry, we couldn't wait...

Mille-Feuille might be the prettiest dessert going, but just like a sunset, their beauty is gone before you know it!

(Especially if we're around... absolutely delicious.)

Up close and personal with a custard slice...

We could just fancy being tucked in under that crispy puff pastry sheet! 
When's the last time you had one of these? 

Recipe coming next week...
We knew it was going to be a showstopper, but this might be bordering on an eye-popper!

A picture-perfect cake tower, this delicate and airy sponge is bursting with summer's juiciest berries and scattered with crystallized rose petals...

In other words, it's a big shindig-only bake, so don't go hiding it away! It deserves to be seen! Recipe in bio.
Wow @georgiahearn__ knows what people like... chocolate and pudding! 

Made with @tateandlylesugars and @lylesgoldensyrup, this looks like a little bowl of happiness to us.
We know you're already sweet enough, but a bit of Tate & Lyle Sweetener wouldn't go amiss on #NationalTeaDay! 

300 servings in one easily storable dispenser, it's an aspartame-free, low-calorie treat. 

Which manages to taste just as sweet!
A whole day dedicated to one TEA!

Yes it's here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea. 

Here's how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:

Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)

Ingredients 

Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar

Instructions

Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.
If Dark Muscovado's a little too strong for you, this bag might just be your baking's saviour!

With enough molasses to keep things moist and sticky, our Light Muscovado boasts a buttery, caramel flavour with fewer hints of treacle.

A subtle change that always makes bakes better...

It might sound odd... but anyone who's had this slightly sour dairy knows it doesn't taste like butter!

Just squeeze a bit of lemon juice in your standard whole or semi-skimmed if you're ever in need.
