Step 1

Make up the bread mix according to pack instructions. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes. Place in a large lightly-oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Stand in a warm place and leave to rise until doubled in size

Step 2

Knead the dough lightly for 1 minute, then roll out into a rectangle measuring approximately 50x30cm.

Step 3

Mix together the filling ingredients and spread over the dough, leaving a 2cm border around one long edge. From the other long edge, roll the rectangle into a sausage-shape, pressing the long edge to seal it. Curl the roll into a circle, sealing the ends together.

Step 4

Lift the ring onto a large greased baking sheet, then cut 16 even slices, without cutting right through, keeping the circular shape. Twist each slice so that the cut surface lies upwards. Leave in a warm place for 30-40 minutes to rise.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Bake the garland for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Step 6

To glaze, dissolve the Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar in 4 tbsp boiling water and simmer for 2 minutes. Brush over the garland and leave until cold. Mix the Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar with a little cold water to make a thin glace icing and drizzle over the top. Serve, decorated with small Easter eggs (if using).

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.
