<p>You can whip up a fresh batch of our quick and easy scone recipe with just five simple ingredients.&nbsp; We love these golden scones with a dollop of clotted cream and fruity jam (or jam then cream, depending on your preference). They are also just as tasty spread with butter.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>How can I make my scones rise higher?</strong></h3>
<p>To make your scones rise higher, you will want to keep your dough a thick depth when pressing into shapes with your cutter. Chill your bowl, pastry cutter and butter before using them to help with a good rise. You can even chill your scones on the baking tray in the fridge for 15 minutes to give a fluffy texture when baked (plus this is a great opportunity to preheat your oven).</p>
<p>When placing the scones on your baking tray, squish them together (similar to when baking cinnamon rolls), as when they bake they will rise together and have lovely soft sides when pulled apart.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>How to bake light, fluffy scones</strong></h3>
<p>There are a few potential reasons your scones aren’t coming out as light and fluffy as you may like.</p>
<p>One common mishap is over-mixing; you want to mix your ingredients until they just come together, a few lumps in the mix are to be expected. It’s also worth mixing the dry and wet ingredients together in separate bowls before combining.</p>
<p>Try to mix your scone dough by hand as using a food mixer, while convenient, can result in over-mixing. It is also worth spending time to sieve your flour once (maybe even twice) before mixing with the other ingredients, as this will aerate the flour and help you achieve fluffy scones.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>How to make moist scones which rise well</strong></h3>
<p>Nobody wants a crumbly scone, so to avoid this make sure that you follow the ingredient measurements precisely to ensure that there is enough liquid used in the mix. Try not to over-handle, treat the dough gently (kneading with light pressure) and don’t overmix or overbake as this will result in a tough and crumbly scone.</p>

<p>Our no-bake rocky road recipe is simple, delicious and fun to make. It’s filled with gooey marshmallows and crumbly biscuits, then covered in rich, velvety chocolate.</p>
<h3>What does rocky road have in it?</h3>
<p>Typically, rocky road contains dark and milk chocolate, with chunks of marshmallow and biscuit inside. However, variations also contain peanuts, raisins, almonds, or anything else you like! We’ve also drizzled ours in white chocolate, but you could also do this with Nutella or caramel sauce.</p>
<h3>How did rocky road get its name?</h3>
<p>Rocky road takes its name in reference to the chunks of biscuits and chocolate packed into the recipe.</p>
<h3>What’s the difference between tiffin and rocky road?</h3>
<p>Often, rocky road is known as ‘rocky road’ in the US and known as ‘tiffin’ in the UK. However, the difference between rocky road and tiffin is how the chocolate mixture binds together, as well as the ingredients used.</p>
<p>Some tiffin recipes often use condensed milk and cocoa powder, then add the chocolate on top. <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/tiffin">Tiffin</a> also tends to contain a medley of fruits, rather than the marshmallows found in rocky road. Rocky road is typically made using melted chocolate and syrup to hold the ingredients together.</p>

<p>Our No Bake Oreo Cheesecake recipe is simple to make and simply delicious. No oven required; you can whip up the creamy Oreo filling and crunchy biscuit base in next to no time; the hardest part is resisting the urge to eat it all.</p>
<h3><strong>Is no bake cheesecake better than baked cheesecake?</strong></h3>
<p>This comes down to your personal preference. The beauty of no bake cheesecakes is that you don’t need an oven, just a fridge to chill or set your cheesecake. No bake cheesecake recipes can be a little less technical and quicker to make than a baked cheesecake. The consistency of both can differ too; with no-bake cheesecakes being light and airy, and the baked versions being a little denser, but rich and velvety.&nbsp;See our full collection of <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/collections/no-bakes">no bake recipes</a> here.</p>
<h3><strong>How to make sure your no bake cheesecake filling turns out firm</strong></h3>
<p>If your no bake Oreo cheesecake is too runny, you may need to leave it longer to set. To create a thick, velvety filling, ensure that you beat the whipping cream to a stiff peak consistency. This means that when the whisk is removed the cream should stand upright, forming a peak on top. If the peak droops, this is soft peak stage and your cream will need to be whipped a little bit longer. Take care not to over-beat your cream cheese, as this can cause it to separate and produce a runnier cheesecake consistency.</p>
<h3><strong>How to ensure your no bake cheesecake base remains crisp</strong></h3>
<p>When making your no bake cheesecake base, you should be sure to chill the crumb crust for at least 10 minutes to help it solidify and prevent it from turning soggy. You should also be sure to use a higher ratio of butter to crumbs for a no-bake base, as this will result in a sturdier base when refrigerated.</p>

<p>Try baking our Mars Bar cake recipe for a slice of nostalgia. Not only is this recipe delicious, but it’s also fun and simple to make, and a perfect activity for you and your children. The chewy, gooey cereal base is blended with melted Mars Bars and topped with rich milk chocolate and white chocolate swirls. Bliss. So, gather your baking tools, put on your apron, and let's create something indulgent with this ultimate Mars Bar cake recipe.</p>
<h3>Can I melt Mars Bars in the microwave?</h3>
<p>Yes, you can melt a Mars Bar in the microwave. We’d recommend you do this on the lowest power setting though, to avoid spoiling the chocolate. Put the Mars Bars in your microwave on a low setting, and check it every 30 seconds until it is melted and smooth.</p>
<h3>Can I melt a Mars Bar on a hob?</h3>
<p>If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt your Mars Bar in a small saucepan on the hob. Chop the Mars Bar into smaller chunks to speed up the melting process. Melt your chocolate on low heat and to check it often.</p>
<h3>How to make sure your Mars Bar cakes are soft</h3>
<p>If you haven’t melted and mixed your Mars Bars, syrup and butter enough, this can cause your final bake to turn out too hard and clumpy. When melting these three ingredients together, you can use a whisk as they begin to melt to get the mixture nice and smooth.</p>

<ol>
  <li><strong>Gentle on Ingredients</strong>: Wooden spoons are less likely to damage the oats and other ingredients, helping to maintain the desired texture of the flapjack.</li>
  <li><strong>Heat Resistance</strong>: Wooden spoons don’t conduct heat, making them comfortable to hold when mixing hot ingredients.</li>
  <li><strong>Non-Reactive</strong>: Wood is non-reactive, meaning it won’t interact with ingredients or alter the taste of your mixture.</li>
  <li><strong>Sturdy and Durable</strong>: Wooden spoons are strong and durable, ideal for mixing thick, sticky mixtures.</li>

<p>Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, these chocolate brownies are sure to impress. With only 20 minutes prep time and 5 key ingredients, these chocolate brownies are easy to whip up anytime!</p>
<h3><strong>Why our Ultimate Chocolate Brownie?</strong></h3>
<p>In our chocolate brownie recipe, we use Billington’s Light Brown Soft Unrefined Cane Sugar, and believe us when we say these make the most indulgently-rich and gooey chocolate brownies you've ever tasted. You'll never look at another brownie the same way.</p>
<h3>How to Make Your Brownie the Most "Fudgy"</h3>
<p>Billington’s Light Brown Soft Unrefined Cane Sugar adds more moisture than white sugar due to its molasses content, making the brownies extra gooey. Then make sure you bake until just set. Overbaking can dry out your brownies, making them less fudgy.</p>
<p>Once you’ve mastered this chocolate brownie recipe, you can go wild exploring new flavour combos. Try adding Caramac or Biscoff spread to add a new twist - we've shown you how to amend the recipe below.</p>
<h2>How to make Caramac Brownies:</h2>
<p>Caramac lovers: Break 6x 30g bars into the brownie mix right before baking. Once&nbsp;baked, drizzle a melted 30g bar over the top.</p>
<h2>How to make Biscoff Brownies:</h2>
<p>Bonkers for Biscoff? Dollop 200g Biscoff spread into the brownie mix, right before&nbsp;baking. Break up 5 Biscoff biscuits and place the pieces&nbsp;on top of the brownie batter. Bake for 20 minutes extra.</p>
