Crumpet Churros (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 4 crumpets
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Method:
- Slice the crumpets into thin fingers.
- Place in a bowl, drizzle over the melted butter and stir to coat the crumpets.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, and then sprinkle on your crumpet fingers.
- Mix everything together then place in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes on 180C.
- Add extra sugar and cinnamon to taste
For the Chocolate Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
- 200ml milk
- 1.5 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 1 heaped tsp cocoa powder
- 1 heaped tsp plain flour
- Dash of salt
Method:
- To make the sauce, whisk all the ingredients in a pan and heat until thickening.
- Dip your churros crumpets into your chocolate sauce.
Bagel Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 bagel
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fajita seasoning
Method:
- Slice your bagel from the centre to the edge into ½ cm rounds and place in a bowl.
- Drizzle over the olive oil, toss to cover the bagel pieces.
- Sprinkle over the fajita seasoning, mix well then place in the air fryer for 3 minutes on 190C until crispy.
Extra Tips:
- To avoid sliced bread sticking together in the freezer, place slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, allow to freeze, and then place frozen slices back in original packaging.
- For the weird and wonderful - add a stick of celery into your bread packaging! The water held by the celery should help keep your bread fresh for up to 3 weeks.
- To revive a stale loaf of bread, hold the un-sliced loaf under the tap to wet the exterior, before placing in the oven at 180C for 10-15 minutes.
