I know Memorial Day is the time for grilling out and barbecuing up some patriotic American meat. But this year, the holiday was a little different for my family!
In honor of our upcoming trip to the UK (in just 3 weeks! Yikes!!), my sister Emma and I prepared a traditional British dinner for the family! I love trying recipes from other countries, so this was really a treat for me. I got to bake something from 3 different countries- all in one meal!

For England, we made mini toad-in-the-holes. This is a mix of a Yorkshire pudding and traditional toad-in-the-hole dish. These were really a hit!
For Scotland, we made traditional Scottish bannocks. I was really curious how these would turn out, as I have heard bannocks mentioned often in the Scottish books I've read lately. The bannocks were really more like biscuits than the flatbread I expected.
For Ireland, we made spritzed shortbread cookies. I've never made piped cookies before, so I certainly learned a lot while baking these! (And they all went, so I was satisfied.)
Recipes coming soon! :-)
