Classic British Bakes & Puddings
This is the home of the recipes people actually ask us for: the school dinner puddings, the traybakes that turn up at every village hall, the tarts your gran made without a recipe, and the savoury classics that have fed Britain for a century. Everything here uses UK measurements and ingredients you can get in any supermarket.
Start with the big three if you're new here – butterscotch tart, gypsy tart and sticky toffee pudding – then work your way through the traybakes.
