Lemon curd nonnettes

Created by The Tesco Recipes team

Nonnettes are little French cakes that are gently flavoured with spices. We've stuffed ours with lemon curd, which pairs wonderfully with the gingery notes - delicious with a cuppa or a special afternoon tea.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Grease 18 holes of 2 x 12-hole nonstick muffin trays. Gently heat the 80g butter, honey, milk, sugars and 100ml water in a saucepan until melted together, then stir to combine.
  2. Mix the flours, baking powder and spices together in a mixing bowl, then pour in the hot mixture whisking to combine. Stir through the stem ginger. Spoon half of the mixture into the trays, then add 1 tsp lemon curd to the centre of each one. Top with the remaining batter and bake for 20 mins until risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (avoiding the lemon curd). Cool for 15 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Dust with icing sugar to serve. The nonnettes are best eaten the day they’re made but will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Tip: No rye flour? Swap in extra self-raising flour.
