We’re delighted to share a new recipe from @gill.m We’re delighted to share a new recipe from @gill.meller. His Christmas Eccles Cakes with Cider Brandy are superbly seasonal, and we’re a little enraptured by them. A gentle twist on a much-loved classic, they bring together sharp apple, dark prunes and a splash of cider brandy beneath a crisp, buttery pastry. 

For the pastry:

400g plain flour
200g butter, cut into 1–2 cm cubes
1 Stonegate Estate Organic egg, beaten
2 – 3 tbls of iced water
Pinch of salt

For the filling:

75g currants
100g pitted prunes, roughly chopped
100ml of Somerset cider brandy
25g butter
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and diced into 1 cm pieces.
100g light soft brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp demerara sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon

If you can find a bottle of Somerset Cider Brandy, all the better. Its deep orchard warmth sits beautifully with the fruit and turns these small cakes into a true winter treat.

A tray of Yorkshire puddings feels like a small celebration in itself. Light, crisp and risen to attention, they are the sort of thing that makes a table fall quiet for a moment. @gill.meller’s recipe is one to keep close, the kind you return to without thinking.

All you need is a fiercely hot oven and a few good eggs. Our Stonegate Organic eggs give the batter its warmth and colour. Gill cooks his in beef dripping for extra depth, though sunflower or groundnut oil will do the job well if that is what you have to hand.

This recipe makes twelve, enough to share around a busy, happy table:

140g plain flour
4 Stonegate Estate eggs, lightly beaten
200ml whole milk
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
100g of beef dripping or sunflower oil
