Shortbread is a very useful product used in both sweet and savoury baked goods. It is great as a base for cakes and tarts; we can bake delicious cookies, croissants or pies. Your choice is limited only by your imagination and the kinds of ingredients you add. Today I offer you quick shortbread scones with plums, which are perfect as a dessert with afternoon coffee or as a sweet extra for breakfast. You can also take a plate of cookies and lose yourself in a wonderful book. Unfortunately, you will then have to start the baking all over again 

Ingredients
400g of flour
200g of 18% cream
200g of butter
3 tablespoons of caster sugar
2 egg yolks
plums
2 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
caster sugar for sprinkling

Usually I cook for the whole family. Sometimes I prepare something that my children really like, because we adults adjust more easily and "like" everything. This time I did something different and prepared a dessert for adults. I served a light mousse with nuts with perfect winter gingerbread liqueur and dark chocolate. It is very easy to make a child-friendly version of this dessert. Just replace the gingerbread liqueur with fruit or chocolate icing. You should prepare the liqueur a few days earlier. It is excellent on a languorous winter evening, or it goes well with dessert and ice cream for adults.

Ingredients
peanut mousse
150ml of aquafaba
a pinch of salt
2-3 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of caster sugar
gingerbread liqueur
400ml of sweet condensed milk
50g of dark chocolate
1 tablespoon of gingerbread spices
175ml of whisky
200ml of vodka

Even though I don't like creamy cookies, I absolutely love puffs. I always thought that preparing them at home is really hard work, and the result? It isn't always satisfying. But...faint heart never won a fair lady, so here we are! Today I offer you my homemade puffs with whipped cream and raspberries. Delicious, crunchy outside and... empty inside  and that's the way it should be. Eclairs are next.

a pinch of salt
3-4 eggs
cream
200ml of 30% sweet cream

My children and my dog love blueberries and they are happy that we can buy them in many shops all year long. It means we can enjoy our favourite fruit, even though we don't have so many when the price goes up when they're out of season.

Today I want to share a recipe for a layered, light dessert with blueberries. It looks amazing and doesn't require a lot of work, and as for the result? You have to try it for yourself.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
200g of blueberries
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
200ml of 30% sweet cream
2 teaspoons of caster sugar
3 teaspoons of gelatine

Of all cakes and cookies my children like muffins the most. They love all of them: with fruit, crumble topping or icing. I bake muffins often because they are yummy, easy to prepare and you don't need to use sophisticated ingredients. You can bake muffins which suit any event: in spring with lemon and courgette, in summer with a lot of fruit, in autumn with pumpkin and plums, and in winter spicy muffins with ginger and nuts. Today I would like to share with you the recipe for yeast muffins with Nutella, peanut icing, salty pistachios and dried flowers. They are fragrant, yummy and beautiful. I recommend them!

Ingredients (12 muffins)
dough
250g of flour
7g of dry yeast
1 egg
75g of sugar
125ml of milk
40g of butter
a pinch of salt
4-5 tablespoons of Nutella
