Afternoon Tea Gets A Macho Makeover At The Five-Star The Royal Horseguards For Father's Day




Forget the fairy cakes and pink tarts, there are no girly frills at this award-winning* afternoon tea experience. Treat dad this Father's Day at The Royal Horseguards' relaxing lounge or the stylish Equus bar - a backdrop designed specifically with the modern gent in mind.

Not a cute cupcake in sight, the selection of sweet treats includes 'macho, man-sized cupcakes' in 'whiskey and walnut' and 'chocolate and chilli' flavours, manly macaroons and a chocolate tool kit.

Don't miss out on the afternoon tea staple of freshly bakes scones with Cornish clotted cream and homemade strawberry preserves, and wash it all down with a butch builder's tea or one of the five-star hotel's award winning tea leaf blends.

Available to book online at www.guoman.com/FathersDay, the manly menu has been created exclusively by the hotel's talented pastry chef, Joanne Todd, and will be available between 10-16 June 2013, priced at £35 per person.

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
