A festive round-up!

Well, that's it. After weeks of planning and going a little crazy; Christmas is all over. I've had a lovely few days spent with the family, eating, drinking, eating some more and laughing a whole lot. I also managed to squeeze in a little bit of baking so I thought I food round-up would be a good idea. 

Christmas Pudding! 

You may remember a couple of months ago myself and my mum rallied together and made our pudding. Well, we dug it out from under the bed, steamed it for a couple more hours and then set it alight! I have to say, it was bloody good pud. I also whipped up some brandy butter to go with it. Very easy: 4oz butter, 4oz icing sugar and a healthy splash of brandy. Whisk it up, pop in the fridge to chill and tuck in when needed. 


 

Before and during. After was just an empty plate. 








Boxing Day Buns. 

Christmas pudding and mince pies get a little rich after a while, so for those of you who want something sweet but light; whip up a batch of cake mix, make some buns and enjoy! (It was just your standard 4 & 2, eggs, butter, sugar, flour and cocoa powder). 

I did actually help me Aunty out and make some gooey, chocolate pots. They're amazing. Light, chocolatey and melt in the mouth. I don't actually know the recipe, but when I find it I'll upload it. 

Well my dears, I hope you all had a marvellous Christmas and I hope you're not suffering nearly as much as I am. 

I shall be back in the kitchen very soon, trying out all my new utensils! TTFN x
