Ask your butcher for marrow bones for the stock. They can be rib, short rib, knuckle, thigh, for example, and should have a bit of meat on them. Ask for the beef fat too.

The Hairy Bikers

Ingredients

4 heaped tbsp of plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
275ml full fat milk
2-3 tbsp vegetable oil such as sunflower, or a blob of goose fat
Yorkshire pudding tins

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas 7.
Sieve the flour with the salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Gradually work in the beaten eggs, then whisk in the milk – the consistency should be like single cream. Leave the batter to stand for at least an hour. You’ll need some Yorkshire pudding tins, either individual ones or one big tin.
Put the oil or goose fat into your Yorkshire pudding tin and put it in the oven for at least 5 mins, until it’s smoking hot. Give the batter a stir, quickly pour it into the tin and watch it sizzle! Quickly put the tin into the oven and bake for about 30 mins or until the pudding has risen to golden-brown perfection.

This recipe is from The Hairy Biker’s Food Tour of Britain, £20 from Weidenfeld & Nicolson. The Hairy Biker’s Food Tour of Britain is available from Amazon.co.uk

Lorraine Pascale, star of BBC show Baking Made Easy, has a soft spot for brownies. ‘When I was eight, chocolate brownies were my life,’ she says. Try this clever cookies and cream mix for something different

You can substitute oreos for toasted walnuts, pecans or sprinkle the brownies with honeycomb.

Ingredients

165g (5 1/2oz) butter, plus extra for greasing
200g (7oz) dark chocolate, grated or finely chopped
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
Seeds of 1 vanilla pod or 2 tsp vanilla extract
165g (5 1/2oz) soft light
brown sugar
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
154g pack of oreo biscuits, broken into quarters
Icing sugar, for dusting
20cm (8in) square baking tin

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 6 with the middle shelf ready. Grease the baking tin, then line with baking paper with the paper overlapping the sides a little.
Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and add the grated chocolate.
Leave to stand for a few minutes until the chocolate goes soft then stir together. Alternatively, you can put the chocolate and butter in bowl and melt in the microwave in 25-second blasts, stirring well each time.
Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla together in a large bowl until they begin to get light and fluffy. Add the sugar in two additions whisking between each. Pour it around the side of the egg mix so as not to knock out the air that has been whisked in to it. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes stiffer. Once the egg mixture is ready pour the chocolate into it, again around the sides so as not to knock the air out.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and a third of the oreos and stir until fully combined, then pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Scatter the remaining oreos over the top, pressing them in slightly. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes. The middle should be very so slightly gooey. Leave the brownies to cool in the tin. The top will sink and crack a little.
Pull the brownies out using the overlapping paper and cut the brownies into squares. Dust with icing sugar.

Flapjacks are a great mid-morning snack that gives you lots of slow-release energy to help keep you full up until lunch. These flapjacks are really healthy as they contain no butter and if you use honey, only natural sugar. By adding some extra spices and dried cranberries, you can give your usual flapjacks a Christmas twist. The mixed seeds also give the flapjacks a nice crunch. You could make these tasty flapjacks as a quick and inexpensive Christmas food gift, or use them to give yourself fuel ready for Christmas shopping!

Flapjacks keep really well. Once cut and cooled, store in a tin for up to two weeks.

Ingredients

320g porridge oats
80g mixed seeds (any combination of sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, hemp or linseeds)
40g dried cranberries
40g dried figs, chopped with scissors
80g raisins
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp mixed spice
100ml sunflower oil
185ml honey or golden syrup

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4 and line a 20x25cm tin with greaseproof paper.
Put all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well.
Measure the sunflower oil and honey or golden syrup into a measuring jug. Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds before pouring over the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the tin and press down well, neatening off the edge if it doesn’t quite reach the end of the tin.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the oats are golden. Leave to cool in the tin before turning out and cutting into 16 squares.
