These elegant little sandwiches add an instant touch of class to any party spread yet only take a matter of minutes to make

Buttery shortbread is topped with a fudgy blondie mix swirled with the classic flavours of a Bakewell tart

Pop these cute mini cakes in a gift box tied with ribbon to take to your Christmas host, or wrap individually for a fun table favour

Also popular in Lancashire, a proper sticky Yorkshire parkin is made with treacle and is traditionally eaten on ‘Parkin Sunday’ in November

Similar to a crumble, but with a much crunchier topping, this is great paired with the caramel notes of the ice cream.

Apple crumble with your cuppa? These crumble-crusted cookies are the perfect solution! Toss in a few blackberries if you like, or swap in some pear.

Everyone’s favourite loaf cake gets an upgrade with a swirl of baked vanilla cheesecake hidden in its sticky middle.

Slices of this loaf cake are lovely served warm with Greek yogurt for a quick pud, but equally good cold with a cuppa

The treacle adds a lovely warming toffee-like flavour to these puffy, light scones studded with pieces of sticky dried fig.
