Very Cherry trifle



I love trifle and the only thing that you can ever get wrong with it is no6t get any alcohol in it. Now this one is a cherry trifle and not a sherry trifle. Cherries are so in season right now and you should be able to get them really easily. Also it is such an easy dessert to make you have to try it.

You will need.
10 or more boudoir  biscuits
4 x 250g/9oz punnets of cherries, stoned
5tbsp cherry brandy or more
1 litre/1¾ pint custard
400ml/13floz double cream
110g/4oz dark chocolate, grated
55g/2oz toasted flaked almonds

First get a large glass bowl or some glasses, whatever you are making it in. now in the bottom break up the boudoir biscuits then on top of them layer your cherries.  Now to get the juices flowing out of the cherries just cut them in half. Then add the cherry brandy , as much as you want or as little but do not ne shy with it.
Now cover everything with the custard and then let it all set for about ten minutes in the fridge.

Then take it out and add the whipped cream over the top and cover with a sprinkle of almonds and grated dark chocolate. Then pop back in the fridge to let it all set once more. About 20 or 30 minutes but not much longer as the cherries will start to stain everything all depending how juicy they are.

Then all you need to do is serve, just take a big spoon dig in and listen to that squelching first spoon full, so satisfying.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
