British baking

Classic recipes to make at home

scones can be made in twenty minutes with Green's Classic Scones Mix. They are served warm, with jam and cream. For a Victoria sponge, the traditional English village cake, start with Green's Plain Sponge and fill it with raspberry jam. Trifle is made in layers: biscuits, Hartley's jelly, Bird's custard, and whipped cream, and Bird's Trifle Mix brings everything together in one box.

Golden syrup and syrups

Lyle's Golden Syrup, with its lion on the tin since 1883, is the base for flapjacks, treacle tart, and sticky toffee pudding. The range also includes Black Treacle, which is darker and more bitter, and topping syrups in caramel, chocolate, and strawberry flavours. See the Syrups and Toppings section.

For Christmas

mince pies are topped with Robertson's Mincemeat, a mixture of dried fruit and spices. With Co-op shortcrust pastry mix, the pie is ready in under an hour. Christmas pudding is served with Tiptree brandy butter.

And on the savoury side

Goldenfry offers two very British mixes: fish and chips batter (chip-shop batter) and Yorkshire pudding mix, to be served with Sunday roast.

You can also find Borwick's yeast, Dr Oetker bicarbonate and Cadbury cake mixes in the Baking Aids and Cake Mixes sections, as well as the Jellies and Creams & Custards sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

What is golden syrup?

It's a smooth, golden sugar syrup with a subtle caramel flavor, emblematic of British baking. Lyle's golden syrup, in its famous green and gold tin, has been around since 1883. It's used for flapjacks, treacle tart, or drizzled over pancakes and porridge.

What is black treacle?

It's a thick, intense black molasses with notes of licorice and burnt caramel. It gives gingerbread, Christmas cake, and some puddings their color and rich flavor. Just a few spoonfuls are enough.

How to prepare a homemade afternoon tea ?

You'll need warm scones , served with jam and cream, small sandwiches (cucumber, egg mayonnaise, etc.), a few pastries, and of course, a pot of black tea. A scones mix, like Green's , will make them perfect in just a few minutes.

What is English "jelly"?

In the UK, "jelly" doesn't refer to jam, but to a brightly colored fruit dessert made from cubes or powder. A staple of children's afternoon snacks, it's also layered in trifles with custard and cream. Hartley's is the leading brand.

How do I use a cake mix?

It's very simple: you usually just need to add eggs, oil or butter, and a little water, as indicated on the packaging, then bake. Brownies, muffins, cupcakes, or red velvet cakes are ready in no time, with results worthy of a coffee shop.

What is suet?

This is a fat used in traditional British cuisine for dumplings, steamed puddings, Christmas pudding , and mince pies pastry. It gives a soft and light texture. Atora offers a plant-based version in small, ready-to-use strands.

What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?

At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.

What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?

The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
