Step 1

Combine the milk, water, butter, Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar and salt in a medium non-stick pan, bring to the boil and as soon as the butter has melted, quickly add the flour off the heat. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon then return to a moderate heat and continue beating for 1 minute to cook the flour. Leave to cool for 5 minutes and beat in the eggs a little at a time to make a smooth, stiff and glossy mixture. Transfer to the piping bag with its nozzle.

Step 2

Heat the oil for deep frying in a large pan to 190°C, 375°F and also preheat the oven to 150°C/Fan130°, 300°F, Gas Mark 2.

Step 3

Pipe 5 or 6 x10cm (4”) lengths of the choux pastry into the hot oil, cutting each one off with a pair of scissors. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning, until crisp and golden. Using a slotted spoon, lift out onto a baking tray lined with kitchen paper to drain and keep warm in the oven whilst you cook the remainder.

Step 4

Mix the Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, sprinkle over the churros, lightly toss to coat and serve.

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!

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.
