England is in fashion. Since hosting the Olympic Games last summer, the nation has positioned itself as one of the most popular, making its flag a fashion emblem and its customs a much-claimed art. This is the case of its cuisine, which although it has a reputation for not being very good, it does make you fall in love with its delicious desserts. 20 Minutes presents us with a list of ten delicacies that you cannot ignore. Meet them!
1. Fairy Cakes. Also known as Cupcakes, those famous cupcakes that have become popular in our country in recent years. With a base similar to that of the muffin and decorated with sugar, these small cupcakes accompany the most sweet snacks.
2.Apple Pie. I mean, apple pie. It is one of the traditional recipes of Great Britain and one of the most popular desserts in the world. The sugary dough filled with sweet apple delights everyone who tries it.
3. Sticky Toffee. Less known but no less delicious for that. This syrup-soaked sponge cake, covered in toffee and accompanied by vanilla ice cream is very popular with its inventors, the English. Get to work and do it yourself, it’s very easy!
4. Gingerbread Men. Do you remember the funny Gingerbread Man from the movie Shrek? That fun little cookie, made of gingerbread, is very tasty to the palate. Although it can take different forms, the human figure is the most cooked, a custom extended by the court of Elizabeth I, who gave her guests cookies that emulated her own figure.
5.Triffle. Surely you laughed a lot with that chapter of Friends in which Rachel tried, without success, to cook this English recipe. So that it does not happen to you like her, it is necessary that you know well what it is. Made from custard, fruit, fruit juice, gelatin, and whipped cream placed between layers of sponge cake, this calorie bomb is reserved for special occasions.
6. Carrot Cake. English carrot cake has,
perhaps, an unpromising name that does not do justice to its exquisite taste. With mashed carrot pieces, a sweet aroma and a smooth texture, this cake is enjoyed on a cake or cupcake. If you want to try it, Living in London, in Alonso Martínez, is a charming British tea room where you can taste its flavor.
7. Jam Roly-Poly. It is a delicacy very similar to the Spanish Brazo de Gitano but stuffed with delicious jam. It is considered one of the essential desserts of British cuisine.
8.Christmas Pudding. As its name suggests, it is one of the many typical Christmas sweets. Made from nuts, sponge cake and chocolate, its delicate texture will make your palate fall in love.
9.Apple Crumble. This crunchy apple sponge cake covered with a dough cooked with flour, butter and sugar, stands out for the ease with which it is cooked and the wonderful result we get when we take it out of the oven. One piece of advice: serve it hot.
10. Sponge cake. Also known as Victoria Pudding, it is the equivalent of our delicious sponge cake. Two layers of dough surround a filling of exquisite strawberry jam and its upper part is covered with icing sugar. Sweet lovers will make this dessert one of their favorites.
