‘Tis the season, or so I am told by my Swedish friends, to get your hands on these wonderfully aromatic and creamy buns – Semla. However, since I don’t live in Sweden or any of the other Scandinavian countries I will have to make mine from scratch. Semla is made with an enriched bread dough scented with cardamom and vanilla. Then it is traditionally filled with almond paste and topped with a generous amount of freshly whipped cream. Then dusted with icing sugar, of course. You can eat it as is or you can take it one step further and eat it from a bowl with warm milk poured all over. Omg, if that isn’t the definition of comfort food, I don’t know what is!

Traditional Buttermilk Scones.
Scones for tea … enough said! If in doubt over what to serve for tea, especially if you are not a fan of sweets and cakes, this will go down REALLY well. This is also a brilliant base recipe which you can expand to include other flavours of your choice: currants, sultanas, cranberries, chocolate chips, herbs or bacon.

Orange Yoghurt Breakfast Pancakes
Thinking of serving up some scrummy breakfast-in-bed for your significant other? Then this recipe has your name written all over it. These pancakes came about by total accident and with the help of some natural yoghurt, these came out so moist and fluffy. Brilliant combination paired with the zest of some Mandarins.
