To Make the Pie Crust

Step 1

Heap the flour onto a clean surface, then make a well in the center. Add the cubed butter, egg, salt, and sugar into the well and using the tips of your fingers rub the ingredients together until you have a grainy texture.

Step 2

Add the cold milk and mix again until the dough starts to stick together. Knead it a few times until smooth.

Step 3

Divide into two, shape into disks and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

To Make the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the cherries, lemon juice, vanilla and almond extract, Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Caster Sugar and cornflour. Place in the fridge.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190C (fan).

Step 2

Roll out one of the chilled dough disks into large circle, about 10' in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough into a baking dish, pressing it gently around the edges. Trim off any excess dough.

Step 3

Spoon the filling into the pie crust (discard the juices). Add a tablespoon of cubed butter on top.

Step 4

Roll out the second chilled pie dough disk into a large circle and using a sharp knife, pizza cutter or pastry wheel, cut out 10 strips from the dough.

Step 5

Arrange the strips into a lattice pattern on top. Trim off any excess dough and press the edges gently together.

Step 6

Brush the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with Demerara sugar.

Step 7

Bake the pie for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180C and bake it for another 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the pie to cool before serving, with a little vanilla ice cream.

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.

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