Buns don’t stay fresh long and take up significant freezer space, so when kids ask for a spontaneous BBQ we should just say “no, we don’t have time” right? Absolutely not! With this recipe you can be mixing ingredients straight after school and eating fresh buns by dinner!

Everything is made in one small pan, and eaten from that pan, which makes it quick, easy and most of all fun, without mess, fuss or leftovers. This serves two adults or a few kids, but I’ve also watched my 7 year old polish off the whole thing by themself.

Macarons, they’re truly not as difficult as you might think but always a real treat, so give them a go! Fill these with your favourite flavoured jam and make a day ahead for a party pleaser. Or cheat and just fill with nutella and eat them watching your favourite show…
