HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 190c then line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Mix the self-raising flour, baking powder and Tate & Lyle Pure Cane caster sugar in a bowl.

Step 3

Add the butter to the flour. Then as though making pastry, lightly and briskly rub the fat into the flour using your fingertips.

Step 4

Add grated apple and cinnamon mixing thoroughly into the flour so that they're well incorporated and the flour is preventing any sticky fruit chunks from sticking together.

Step 5

Beat the egg together with the milk. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour the liquid in.

Step 6

Using a rounded knife, cut the dry ingredients into the wet and gently but firmly bring the dough together.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls then place them on the prepared baking tray, spaced well apart and press down.

Step 8

Bake the Rock Cakes for around 15-18 minutes, until they're just going golden and are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove them from the baking tray immediately to a wire rack and sprinkle with the sugar & cinnamon mix.

Step 10

Serve still warm from the oven with a cuppa!

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!

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