Maple custard creams
Prue Leith’s homemade custard creams were a fiendish technical challenge, but this version is simple enough to make at home. We’ve made ours with tender, organic Doves Farm white spelt flour for a crumbly biscuit. For that extra finishing touch, try decorating yours with a custard cream biscuit stamp.

Honey and almond Devonshire splits
Devonshire splits are a south west staple. While they are often filled with messy squiggles of cream and jam, Paul Hollywood’s refined variation topped with thinly sliced fresh strawberries has become iconic since featuring on Bake Off. Our version is another take on the classic, made with organic Doves Farm strong white bread flour, and a lightly honeyed Chantilly cream.
