American and British food is much more than burgers and hot dogs. For different reasons, desserts have resisted the pass of time much better than traditional savoury dishes, and today, there are many typical American and British desserts known and respected worldwide. Next, we're going to present a list of different desserts, with links to their recipes:
- American Pie (USA): It's the one from the picture above. Apples are its main ingredient and it's normally served with vanilla ice-cream, what is known as American Pie รก la mode.
- Apple crumble (UK): Delicious British dessert, also containing apples as its main ingredient. The British like to side it with warm custard and jam.
- Brownie (USA): If you love chocolate, this is definitely your dessert. Try it warm and topped with ice-cream, it's not to be missed!
- Trifle (UK): A multi-layered cake with jam, custard and whipped cream.
- Cookies (USA): Chocolate-chip ones are by far the most truly American. They tend to be soft, and not crispy, as most people think.
- Blueberry muffins (UK): Similar to Spanish "magdalenas", but bigger and softer.
- Banana bread (USA): Don't be misled by the word bread, since it's actually more like a cake.
- Plum Cake (UK): A soft cake filled with fruit, perfect to eat with a cup of tea or coffee.
- Pumpkin Pie (USA): The most traditional dessert for Thanksgiving Day. Often sided by whipped cream.
- Pavlova (Australia and NZ): A Down Under cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
Read this list very carefully, since very soon you'll be cooking one of these desserts!
See you in class!
