Organised by the Allegra Foundation Ltd, UK Coffee Week is the nationwide charitable programme that celebrates the UK coffee sector, whilst raising vital funds to deliver clean drinking water projects in coffee-producing countries.  The UK Coffee Week charity, Project Waterfall currently helps some of the poorest and most marginalised communities in Tanzania gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene, by working in partnership with WaterAid.

“As a leading brand in the food-service industry with a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility, we recognise the need to support marginalised communities in coffee-producing countries who lack access to clean water. By sponsoring UK Coffee Week as the Official Biscuit Sponsor, it is the perfect way for us to help these communities whilst celebrating the UK’s thriving coffee sector.”

During UK Coffee Week, (22nd – 28th April) all participating cafes, coffee shops, workplaces and outlets will reward customers who make a small donation to Project Waterfall with an exclusive and free Lotus Caramelised biscuit. 

The Allegra Foundation Chairman Jeffrey Young, is delighted to have Lotus Bakeries on board in such a significant way:
“It is crucial that for UK Coffee Week to be a success, we have the backing of major brands and companies.  Lotus biscuits are the number one complimentary bite-size snack and we are ecstatic that they are supporting such a worthwhile cause.”
  

Over 360,000 people participated in UK Coffee Week in 2012 by donating 5p to the price of their coffee. Activities included hosting fundraising coffee based events and participating in Coffee@Work, the initiative bringing UK Coffee Week into the workplace.

Lotus Original Caramelised Biscuits are suitable for a wide range of coffee shop customers. Not only are they free from artificial colourings, and flavourings but are suitable for vegetarians and those with a lactose intolerance.  As every Lotus biscuit is individually wrapped, they are easy to serve & provide the perfect complimentary treat for all coffee shops customers and are the ideal, cost effective way to reward customers for their loyalty & encourage repeat visits.

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
