Jazz up some croissants by following this simple recipe for a wonderful breakfast treat. Our Cornetto Alla Cremas recipe works best by using up some slightly stale large Croissants as the sweet and creamy vanilla filling brings them back to life. This recipe was provided by Master Pâtissier Eric Lanlard.

Billington's

Psst. We have the secret to make your already awesome bakes phenomenal. Introducing the finest quality caster sugar for baking – Billington’s Golden Caster Sugar.
What is golden caster sugar? The perfect natural alternative to refined sugar. You can use it in the exact same way and quantity as caster sugar, however, this ingredient adds a magical touch to your bake; a warm golden colour and subtle buttery flavour, ideal for light and fluffy sponge cakes, satisfying shortbreads and dainty macaroons.

Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

Single cream

Nielsen-Massey

Full of the flavour and flecks of a vanilla pod, this incredible vanilla bean paste will transform your food from tasty to taste-sensation. From Crème brulees to creamy ice cream this versatile ingredient is the perfect substitute for vanilla pods.
Switching bean paste for pods and extracts in a recipe has never been simpler; just follow these easy conversions; 1 tsp bean paste = 1 tsp extract = 1 vanilla pod
Don’t worry about thinning your batter and sauces either, this bean paste is velvety smooth due to its sugar syrup base, taking your vanillery bakes to the next level.

Lemon zest

Flaked almonds

Silver Spoon

Are you even baking if your kitchen isn’t covered in icing sugar? A staple ingredient for all baking when whipping up deliciousness.
We love Silver Spoon Icing Sugar as it is the only sugar homegrown in the East of England using sugar beets.
This fine, refined white icing sugar, helps blend the fluffiest of buttercream icing to top your cupcakes and fill your Victoria Sponges.&nbsp;
It is so versatile that with this tiniest touch of water it can transform into to smooth velvety icing to flood ice your biscuits or drizzle over your cakes. With its crisp white finish, it is the perfect blank canvas to colour, flavour and personalise to suit your individual baking style.
