Cinnamon Sugar Banana Fritters
My memory of banana fritters is from when dessert was rolled out, typically on Friday afternoon, if I was staying late at junior school. You had the option to ladle them with warm custard or smother them with jam.
Banana fritters are eaten across the African continent and the Caribbean with a variation in ingredients, as well as other cultures. Given that bananas make the top 5 most eaten fruits in the world, like dough, it is no wonder everyone found a way to fry them up!
If you have kids, consider serving these fritters up with ice cream!
Masala Chai Cashew Bark
This recipe was inspired by my 2018 trip to Zanzibar. Two of the many things I found thrilling were the relatively cheap cashew nuts and the plethora of spices infused in almost everything. It is after all referred to as the spice island for a reason!
I also had some of the best most authentic tasting chai I've ever had. The tea was rich, deep in flavour, and delicious, I couldn't get enough.
Let's make some masala chai chocolate bark tea lovers!
Lemon Glaze (for cakes, doughnuts, etc.)
Lemon. It took me a while to grow fond of the flavor outside of drinks, but it’s refreshing, tart, and pairs well with creamy textures, seafood, and on pastries, cakes, and doughnuts.
Amarula Custard
If you're looking to make a homemade custard with a kick and top your cakes and tarts, this is it. The marula fruit taste comes together wonderfully as a cream-based liquor sauce.
This recipe is meant to compliment the Malva Pudding Cake recipe.
