Whether you are celebrating the Easter or Passover holidays, or just celebrating the season, the recipes below should inspire you to serve home-cooked food over the long weekend.
Spiced Fruit Buns – a variation on the traditional Hot Cross Buns. You have the option to make the dough from scratch or buy ready-prepared dough at a bakery and just add the spices, dried fruit and glaze. Also see Spices for more information on the spices used in this recipe.
Creamy Hot Cross Bun & Dried Fruit Pudding – a great way to put stale hot cross buns to good use.
Quick Savoury Pie (Souttert) – an excellent way to use up leftovers. Can be served as breakfast, brunch or as a light meal with salad.
Wheat-Free Maize Meal Bread – you can substitute the corn kernels and diced sweet peppers in this recipe with chopped peppadews, chopped sun dried tomatoes, pitted olives, chopped bacon or your choice of chopped fresh herbs. Serve as is with butter or toasted with preserves or scrambled eggs. (More wheat-free recipes to follow soon!)
Enjoy!
