Curly Cooks: Honey Biscuits

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me! So, Curly Cooks is a series on the various items that I'm making while on lockdown, most of which will carry personal stories. Today's recipe is a childhood favourite in my family: Honey Biscuits.

Curly Cooks: Honey Biscuits


When I was young, my mum (I'm assuming) made up this recipe for biscuits with cinnamon and honey and they've always been a family favourite. They're soft, cakey, delicious biscuits and everyone will love them. 

To start off, mix up your caster sugar and butter together. Once cohesive, add the honey and the egg:


Then all of the dry ingredients (self raising flour and cinnamon):


Until you have a thick batter that looks like this:


Grab a teaspoon-ful of dough and roll it into a bowl like so: 


Roll it in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar until coated:


Then place the balls on a baking tray. Do try to make them a bit more evenly shaped than I did, so they cook more evenly and don't look all different sizes!


Cook them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and leave to cool (or they'll get stuck to the tray). 


And that's it! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Curly Hair, What's in There? Queer Eye

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. Queer Eye Right, so if you are in any way aware of current popular culture, you'll have heard of Queer Eye, the Netflix reboot of the classic show where five gay men (the so-called "Fab Five") makeover people. Season three landed on Netflix yesterday (March 15) and I am living, I've already watched it all. If you've not already seen this show, lemme tell you why you should. First off, it's not your typical makeover show. Like yeah, I get it, you're thinking "it's a bunch of fashion conscious gay guys so it is" but it's really not. I mean, they do have aspects of that, they makeover their wardrobe, their look, their living space, but they do so much more. In just a week, they seem to makeover peoples' lives. As well as the three aforementioned aspects, ther...

Curly Hair, Been There: Lille

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. Living in Paris is interesting enough, but feeling spontaneous I decided to travel to a different city. So, I went to Lille for a day. Curly Hair, Been There: Lille I took a Thalys train from Paris Nord to Lille Flandres, which took just over an hour and cost me only £18. I got up suuuper early and I arrived in Lille just before 10am.  I left the station (massive and cool btw) to be greeted by this lovely sight: It turns out there was some Hispanic celebration going on (dorado something or other) and so there was lots of cool decor everywhere. Not only were there those statues, there were also these ribbons: and these ofrendas:  I walked over to the shopping mall, Euralille, (huge) because of course I needed a coffee, so I sat down in Starbucks and planned my day. I decided that from the mall I'd go and find the main sq...
