Baklava Inspired Pastel de Nata

August 8, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

  The farmer is a huge custard tart fan-specially pastel de nata and I love baklava so I decided to combine the two in this recipe. Rather than using puff pastry, I brushed melted butter and honey on the filo layers and then poured in the custard when it was cool.  It’s a great way … [Read more…]

July 1, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

I haven’t done a recipe post for ages and these little eggy bites are something I just cobbled together because our hens are laying so much. I wanted a fridge snack that the children can help themselves to, are sugar free and are packed with protein for that all important energy. The options are endless … [Read more…]

July 11, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

March 28, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

Spring is supposedly in full swing and, when the weather warms, up my hens lay more.

We have a funny relationship, Hubster and I. We do row sometimes and, if we do, I like to take my revenge. I know, I know but it is only in small ways and it makes me feel better. Especially because I am obviously, always right. Recently he asked me how I choose which eggs … [Read more…]
