Step 1

Line a shallow roasting tin 21Cmx30Cm (8 ½” x 12”) with a parchment paper.

Step 2

Make the pastry by putting the flour, butter and Tate & Lyle Icing sugar into a food processor and blend until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Slowly add the egg and turn off as soon as the mixture forms into a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and roll out the pastry to a rectangle. Place the tin on top of the pastry to judge how much to roll out and Cut out the pastry using the tin as a guide.

Step 3

Lay the pastry in the tin and press into the edges, and chill for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170Cfan/gas 5.

Step 5

Prick the base of the pastry with a fork, line with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 180C/160Cfan/gas 4.

Step 6

To make the filling, put the butter and Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown sugar into a food processor and blend until pale and soft. Add the almond extract, eggs, ground almonds and flour and blend well. Spread on top of the pastry then arrange the plums skin side up. Bake for 45 minutes until the filling is golden.

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.
