Hey there - I've got 2 recipes for you this week. Some brand new shortbread biscuits and a pear crumble that was first published a few years back but has just been updated with new images and lots of juicy tips for making it. 

I hope one appeals to you over the upcoming long weekend for Easter.

There's something about Empire biscuits that makes them irresistible to all ages. These crunchy vanilla shortbreads, also known as Imperial cookies, are sandwiched together with a layer of jam, slathered in glossy icing and adorned with a glacé cherry. There's nothing not to love about them.

This pear crumble with chocolate combines fresh pear with Nutella. The fruit is snuggled under a blissful blanket of buttery crispy oats, hazelnuts and almonds. This recipe is easy to make and can be oven-ready in 15 minutes.
