I’ve seen Blue Ribbon Squares in the shops, but I’ve never been tempted to buy them… it’s only bread right? WRONG! We received a fabulous Blue Ribbon press drop last week and, believe me when I say, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried them. These squares are freakin’ delicious.

Yummy Blue Ribbon Squares Recipes

Blue Ribbon sent over a couple of yummy recipes to try and I just had to share. Oh, and I’ve heard that they make fabulous braaibroodjies too.

Apple Pie Stack

 

Ingredients

2 white Blue Ribbon Squares
1 apple
125ml sugar
60g butter
60ml cream
2 eggs
Cinnamon

Plain yoghurt

Method

1. Peel and core the apple, then cut it into eighths
2. Get a frying pan onto medium to high heat to make your caramel sauce
3. Pour sugar into the pan and stir until it starts to dissolve and caramelise
4. Whisk in the butter, then add the cream when it’s fully incorporated
5. Keep whisking until your sauce is thickened and smooth
6. Add the apple eighths and let them simmer in the sauce for about 5 to 10 minutes on low heat
7. In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with a healthy pinch of cinnamon and 30 to 60ml of the milk, depending on your preference
8. Put another pan on medium heat and throw in a knob of butter
9. Soak each BB Square slice in the egg mix for 30 to 45 seconds, then add to the pan and cook until golden brown
10. Cut the fried Square slices in half diagonally
11. Layer the French toast slices, caramel sauce, apples and yoghurt
