• The Plum Galette with a Walnut Crust is a delightful treat that perfectly balances the sweet-tartness of ripe plums with the earthy richness of walnuts. As you roll out the buttery walnut pastry, the nutty aroma fills the kitchen, promising a comforting indulgence. Once the vibrant plums are nestled within the rustic folds of the crust, a sprinkle of sugar enhances their natural flavour, while a hint of cinnamon adds warmth. Baked until golden, the galette emerges with a beautifully crisp exterior, inviting you to savour each slice. Serve it warm, perhaps with a dollop of clotted cream or a scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream, and you have a perfect dessert that celebrates the essence of British summer.

  • Cherry Pie Lattice Top Crust

    There's nothing quite like the comforting aroma of a freshly baked cherry pie wafting through your home. This recipe from See Vanessa Craft combines juicy, sweet-tart cherries encased in a buttery pastry, topped with a beautifully woven lattice crust that not only looks stunning but also allows the cherry filling to bubble enticingly.

    To begin, gather your ingredients: ripe cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and your standard pie crust ingredients — flour, butter, and a pinch of salt. The sweet cherry filling, enhanced by a splash of lemon juice, is the hero of this dessert, bringing a delightful burst of flavour to each slice.

    As you roll out your dough, take care to reserve some for the lattice top. The criss-cross pattern not only adds an artistic touch, but it also helps to ensure that the pie cooks evenly, allowing steam to escape and the filling to thicken beautifully. Before popping it into the oven, give your pie a generous egg wash for that golden finish.

    Once baked to perfection, let it cool slightly before serving — it pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh cream. This cherry pie is sure to be a delightful centrepiece at any gathering, celebrating the sweet taste of summer in every bite. Enjoy!
