How to make the vanilla cream
In a saucepan, heat milk and 50g of sugar over medium heat.
Then in a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining 50g of sugar, flour, and salt.
Remove the milk from the heat and very slowly whisk it into the egg and flour mixture. When all of the milk has been blended in the bowl, add the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is boiling and appears thick.
Stir in the vanilla extract, mix well, and pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.
Then with your cream done, just wrap up the bowl in cling film and pop it in the fridge!
How to make the Cronut dough
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the water and milk and heat for 30 secs (or until lukewarm). Whisk in the yeast and let it stand for 5 mins until bubbling.
Set a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and add the flour, sugar, salt, and 1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter to its bowl. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again for another minute.
Form a ball with the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and place it in a warm spot. Let it rise until doubled in size (about 45 mins).
Once doubled, punch down the dough, then cover and chill for 1 hour.
While that’s going on, place the remaining butter between 2 pieces of parchment or wax paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten and shape into an 8 x 8-inch square. Pop in the fridge.
How to make the Dulce de Leche Cronuts
TOP TIP
Once your butter block and dough are chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12 x 12-inch square.
Place the butter square on top of the dough square and line up the corners as perfectly as you can.
Fold the corners of the dough over the butter block to meet in the centre like an envelope. Use your fingers to pinch together the dough at the seams so the butter block is completely sealed.
Roll the dough out into a 20 x 8-inch rectangle. If the dough is too stiff, give it a good seeing to with your rolling pin.
Brush off any excess flour and fold the dough into thirds from the top and bottom, like a letter. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. Repeat the folding and chilling process 2 more times, giving your dough those distinct croissant layers!
Once the dough is chilled after its final fold, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 6 x 18-inch rectangle.
Use a very sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into three 6 x 6-inch squares, and stack the squares on top of each other.
Roll out the stack into a 6 x 18-inch rectangle.
Using doughnut ring cutters, cut 12 doughnut shapes out of the dough and place them on a parchment-lined surface. Cover the doughnuts loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
How to fry the Cronuts
Frying time! Add the oil to a large pot and heat to 175ºC. Fry the cronuts for about 1 1/2 minutes, flipping them in the oil halfway through until they are golden brown all over. And for best results, do so in small batches!
Place the cronuts on a paper towel-lined plate to cool
In a bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a long narrow tip with the chilled vanilla pastry cream.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the icing and water. Add more water if necessary, but make sure the glaze is not too watery.
Inject the cronut at 4 different points with the vanilla cream, roll in cinnamon sugar, and drizzle the glaze over the top. Enjoy!

Swapping a glass of sangria for a slice instead, this boozy cake is inspired by our favourite Spanish holidays!
A red-wine-infused bundt cake with a fruity and pink frosted topping, this summer spectacle is a worthy centrepiece for any upcoming little get-together.
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
For the cake
315g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
165g unsalted butter
Zest of one orange
300g Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 large eggs
240ml Sangria
Fushia pink food colouring
For the glaze and decoration
160g Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar
1½ - 2 tbsp Sangria
Fushia pink food colouring, if required
Fresh fruit, to serve
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan oven). Brush a bundt tin with melted butter and dust with flour before tapping out any excess. Set aside whilst making the cake.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a stand mixer, beat together the butter, Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar and orange zest until pale and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and mix the eggs in one at a time.
4. Alternate additions of the flour mixture and Sangria in five parts, beginning and ending with the flour, mixing between additions until just combined (flour-Sangria-flour-Sangria-flour).
5. Tip the cake mixture into the prepared tin and level the top. Tap the tin a few times on your work surface to release any bubbles and smooth out the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before releasing onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once the cake is cool, make the glaze. Simply place the icing sugar in a mixing bowl and add the Sangrai, whisking to create the glaze. Add more or less Sangria depending on how thick or thin you want the glaze to be. Use a little food colouring if required to achieve the desired colour of glaze you prefer.
7. Pour the glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Fill the middle generously with fresh fruit and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Two of our favourite fruity flavours in one delicious scone triangle!
Here`s how to make them:
Ingredients
For the scones
3 tbsp Tate & Lyle Granulated Sugar
Zest of one lemon
175g self raising flour
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
45g unsalted butter
80ml milk
1½ tsp lemon juice (squeeze fresh from the zested lemon)
100g blueberries
A little milk, for brushing the scones
For the glaze (optional)
80g Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar
2-3 tsp lemon juice
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/390F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, rub the Tate & Lyle Granulated Sugar and lemon zest together.
Add in the flour, salt and baking powder, stirring everything together.
Tip in the butter and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Separately in a jug, mix together the milk and lemon juice. Pour into the flour mixture and roughly bring together. Add in the blueberries and mix through evenly, bringing the dough together.
Lightly flour your worktop then tip the dough out, squeezing together to form a disc about 1” thick. Cut into eight wedges, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush the tops of each scone with a little milk, then bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the scones are baked and golden on top.
For the glaze, mix together the Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar and as much lemon juice as required to achieve the consistency you like. Drizzle over the scones and enjoy!
Yet another dessert mash-up... and this time it`s Battenburg Blondies!
A delicious marzipan chessboard you can`t help but make a move for, it`s your favourite cake with an irresistible new texture...
Serves: 16
Ingredients:
200g unsalted butter
125g Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar
125g Tate & Lyle Soft Light Brown Sugar
¼ tsp salt
¾ tsp almond extract
2 large eggs
225g plain flour, sifted
75g ground almonds
Pink food colouring
6 mini Battenberg cakes (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan oven). Line an 8” square loose-bottomed tin with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add in the butter and both sugars. Heat in 20-second bursts in the microwave until completely melted. Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
Stir in the salt and almond extract, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until completely combined. Tip in the flour and ground almonds and mix again until completely combined.
Divide the blondie mixture equally between two bowls. Colour one of them pink using some food colouring, then transfer both into piping bags. Pipe alternating lines of the mixture in the tin, covering the bottom and using about half of the batter to do so. Shake the tin or use a small knife or spatula to help level the batter, then pipe a second layer of blondie mixture on top of the first, topping the pink lines with plain batter and the plain with pink. Again, shake the tin a little to level the top and fill in any gaps. Don’t worry too much, it will also spread during baking in the oven.
Once all the blondie mixture has been piped, place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The blondie is done when the top is pale golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with a few damp crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.
Once cooled, slice the blondie into 16 squares. Top with a couple of slices of mini Battenberg cake if you wish, using a little apricot jam to hold it in place.
Enjoy!
We know you can`t keep up with all these smashed together recipes, but this one`s simple and stunning, we promise!
Introducing the Brondie, a gooey comforting brownie mix of milk, dark and white chocolate.
