Anchor Butter is bringing back Elevenses! Well… It never really went anywhere, it’s just been a little forgotten. They want to empower people who feel the need to have a nice little sit, with a cup of tea and a nibble at around 11 o’clock.
I love baking so was happy to bring back elevenses in our house by whipping up a batch of gingerbread biscuits using yummy Anchor butter. Here’s a link to the gingerbread recipe, just in case you want to make some yourself.
Giveaway
The lovely people at Anchor have given me some gorgeous items to offer as a giveaway to readers of the gingerbread house. I have 20 mugs and 20 cake tins to give away (pictured below) – all quite befitting for Elevenses I think!
