Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, and shape into fingers.

Lindt Excellence & tahini brownies
These fudgy brownies are my go to when I want something rich and impressive without spending hours in the kitchen. The combination of Lindt chocolate and tahini creates this wonderfully complex flavor that feels fancy but comes together in just an hour. Tahini brings such a lovely nuttiness while adding protein and healthy fats that make these brownies feel a bit more nutritious than your average treat. What I love most is how straightforward the whole process is, even for a novice baker like myself. Just mix, bake, and you've got decadent brownies that taste like you spent far more effort than you actually did.
Swiss meringue buttercream
Swiss meringue buttercream is hands down my favorite frosting, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. This silky smooth topping is more stable than American buttercream, so it holds up beautifully on cakes even in warmer weather. The egg whites bring wonderful protein to the mix, making it feel a bit more nutritious than your typical frosting. Best part? Once you master the technique, you can whip this up in under an hour and a half with ingredients you probably already have at home. It's truly become my go to for every celebration.
Martha's basic pancake recipe
My mum Martha taught me this recipe years ago, and it's become my go to for weekend breakfasts. It's wonderfully simple, using just a handful of ingredients you likely have at home, which means it won't break the bank. The eggs give you protein to keep you full through the morning, and honestly, from start to finish you'll have fluffy pancakes on the table in under half an hour. There's something special about making pancakes from scratch, and once you nail Martha's basic method, you'll never look back.
