If you love classic British baking, you NEED to try these delicious traditional flans! 🤤

For the baked custard flan, prepare the shortcrust pastry and line a flan tin. Blind bake, then whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and milk together. Pour the custard into the pastry case, sprinkle with nutmeg and bake until just set with a gentle wobble. For the chocolate jelly flan, prepare and blind bake the pastry case, then heat the cream, milk and sugar. Stir in the dark chocolate and dissolved gelatine, pour into the pastry case and chill until firmly set. Slice and serve chilled.

Traditional British comfort food at its finest! 🥧 This classic Shepherd’s Pie is packed with rich lamb mince, vegetables and savoury gravy, topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked until beautifully golden and crisp.

Cook the lamb mince with onion and carrots until browned and softened. Stir in tomato purée, flour, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper, then simmer until rich and thick. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes until tender, then mash with butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Spoon the lamb mixture into a baking dish, spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top, and bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Finish with a little fresh thyme and serve warm.
