@@BackyardChef I can't wait to see what's next. I've really gotten to love your channel. I bet you have a lifetime of stories to tell about your life with cooking. 🩷
My son in Leeds always sends me something from Betty's for a treat. Never had a dud! I like 'em even more because as a tyke myself I never have to pay for them!
WOW!..Learning so much from you...blanching almonds...👍👏👏 Definitely going to attempt making these Yorkshire Rascals...look yummilicious...😋😋...love all yhe ingredients. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your videos very much...💝🌻🌟
Well Rik. You'll to happy to know that I've placed an order for the rascals AND the carrot cake. I just couldn't resist. They should be with me by the end of this week. I'll let you know how I get on 😮
I was lucky enough to to go to Betty’s tearoom in York and had a tea and cake , not a fat rascal l. I did however take a box of them home and they didn’t last long. Yours look perfect! Thanks for showing us how to ❤
Your orange peel is very much better than what we get in the US. I think UK companies are more careful to remove the pith, and they may also blanch the peel before candying it. So, I enjoyed baked goods with orange peel in England, but won't eat them in the US. (I have made candied orange perl, and it was great, but time comsuming for a home cook.)
I agree very time consuming - However if you can make a small bulk lot. Some can be jarred and some frozen in small packets you have all year then. Best, Rik
I'm from New Zealand but my mum originated from England so I'm familiar with a fair few of your recipes. I made these today and I love them. My husband has requested I make more! I did forget their name when he asked me though, first I said they were cheeky rascals, then I thought maybe fat b@stards 😂
Can i substitute pecans instead of almonds? Will pecans change the flavor? Thank you ,your getting me back into cooking💖🇺🇸 everything you make looks amazing! Shared your meat pies with my sister,she shared it with our older brother, he shared it at church. ...the pies were delicious! GOD bless you from Seattle washington USA
If you had to choose between the air fryer you have and a conventional oven, which would you choose? Asking as I am moving soon, and considering getting the air fryer instead of a new cooker.
There are limitations and advantages to both. Its a personal choice I'm afraid. An air fryer does do 99% of the same cooking as a regular oven in less time. Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m sure your rascals are as delicious as Betty’s Rik 👌one question I notice you use baking soda a lot is that bi-carbonate of soda ? Thank you , Amanda xx
@@BackyardChef thanks Rik, I have been watching your air fryer oven you use with keen interest, I live in South Africa where electricity is a problem, so the lower electrical use for baking is a godsend, I just ordered one now, thanks again, keep up the great work, love how you keep it basic, no bs 👌
I am a Yorkshire and I had never heard of them until I moved to Ilkley and saw them in Betty’s. I think just Betty’s make and sell them. They are very nice. I have bought the ingredients to have a go at these and with a bit of butter I will be in heaven. Cuppa too.
@@joannemackown5572 Ilkley...such a lovely place. Used to go to the river there with my friends when I was a teen🙂. Me and my first love used to go there too for a walk around the area! good times good times...
Those are the cutest buns ever! Easily adaptable if you don't like candied fruit. I'll make them with dried cranberries instead and they still will be amazing. Thanks Rik.❤
Oh man! I'm going to be like the side of a house by the time I get through all these recipes. What the heck! I've been to Harrogate and York a few times, since I've moved here, and the queues are ridiculously long, so I haven't been in. Who needs Betty's, when we've got Rik. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll do for me 😅
I've never heard of these, they look delicious, i'll definitely make these, i would also use pecans only because i can't bite almonds. Is baking soda bicarbonate of soda or baking powder. Yes i like Yorkshire curd tarts as well as another person mentioned. It's not very often you can get curds here so i use cottage cheese. It's alright making all these nice things but it's not good for your waistline
Wish I had smellovision! Never heard of these Rik and as I’ve had my baking head on recently, will give these a bash. Thanks for all these great recipes, very much appreciate you taking the time to make these videos for us. Nice one.
I laughed when you ate them, because when you said earlier that they contain all those warm spices and aromatics and orange zest, I immediately thought: I bet those taste like Christmas. A smaller serving size covered in a crisp sugar glaze would make them a perfect Christmas treat.
I love the choices you make for your videos. Americans have a different take on cooking. And we get in this kind of rut where things start to look alike. Your things are unique and fascinating. They look delicious. I'm excited to try that malt bread. I have no idea where I'm going to get malt extract. But I'm going to find it and I'm going to make that thing. It looks amazing!
When I was in England I was addicted to Betty’s Yorkshire Fat Rascals. Almost every day for morning tea time. Never sought therapy as I really had no desire for recovery. I’ve tried replicating with mild success. I’ll follow your recipe with full expectations that it will feed my addiction. 🤣
Rik I think I will just buy my almonds. I love the tip about how to make some blanched! I don’t have the patience you seem to have. In the United States when we take a food item, like you did and we try to duplicate it from our favorite restaurant is recipe, we call it a knock off. I can’t wait to try these things even though I am not sure I would like them-they just sound delicious. The reason I don’t think I would like them if I don’t like The selection of fruit. They wouldn’t be very good knock offs if you don’t have the right fruit. However I do have several English friends and I think this would be a pleasant surprise for them! Especially since they’re from Yorkshire! It would be a nice treat for them because they always give me tea when they get a package from home. I love Yorkshire gold tea with a little cream! Greetings from New Mexico
Yorkshire "Rascal" may be a Halloween Treat ... autumn flavours ... and I guess a rascal is "a fiend" with glowing red eyes and fangs. A Regular Jack the Ripper!! I think the almonds are supposed to be pointy end downward, for effect. They look so tasty, and everything is better with butter. Thank you. 🇨🇦♥️🇬🇧
First time I've ever heard of these. I live in New Zealand, but my parents are English, so I love to make your recipes. I'm a chef too, so I'll be making these tmro. I have made your Treacle tart for 30 people, at work, and your Rumplethumps. I adore your channel! Thanks so much.🎉❤
I am from the south of england and have never heard of these, but they look fun and I bet they are delicious. Definitely going to give them a try. Love your channel and have subscribed.
Nobody could write a better review! If you ate every last one and every last crumb then we have to take your word for it because you’re living proof that they were delicious! Thank you for your wonderful description, hello from New Mexico USA
Oh Man you are too much ! First Homity Pie Then Corned Beef and Onion Pie Then Old Fashioned School Cheese Flan. (just like school dinner ones in the Scottish Borders in the 60s) And now Betty’s Fat Rascals. The Fat Rascals are just out the oven and look great. And the pastry recipe is perfect. Using lard and butter. I sort of stopped using lard in pastry but have gone back to it. Gives a much better result.
Remind me of rock cakes, but the butter and sugar is creamed rather than rubbing butter into flour! Yours look delicious, makes me want to cook some now, with the ingredients I have, but think I need an orange and I might wait till I go shopping and buy oranges!
Thanks for the recipe Rik, I made these on Saturday and they disappeared in no time, although the little rascals had blanched hazelnut teeth because I'm too lazy to blanch the almonds. I see in your earlier videos you did Thai recipes, any chance you could do a chicken and cashes nut recipe? But keeping in mind a lot of us here in the UK don't have access to Asian food shops. I know it won't be the same but it's my favourite Thai dish.
Soak your almonds a little longer and all you have to do is squeeze the almond and the skin slips right off, and the almond shoots out - aim for another bowl!
In the description, Les. If you aren’t watching in the RUclips app open it upon RUclips then press the word “ more”. Scroll down and the recipe is there. Thank you. Best, Rik
These look fantastic! Must try. A little tip :to skin the almonds, drain well, and rub the almonds briskly in a tea towel to remove most of the skins quickly.
Rik I absolutely love you channel, I have a question about your baking, my wife is a celiac and cant have normal flour, do you know if I can just replace normal flour with gluten free flour and get the same results? thats for your advise.
Gluten-free flour can replace regular flour in baking, but adjustments may be necessary to achieve the best results. Here are some tips for substituting gluten-free flour: 1. Use a Gluten-Free Flour Blend: Gluten-free baking is more successful with a blend of different flours and starches, as they balance protein, starch, and flavor. There are many commercial gluten-free flour blends, or you can make your own mix. 2. Add Binders: Gluten provides structure in baked goods, so add binders like xanthan gum, guar gum, or psyllium husk to help mimic this structure. Typically, use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of gluten-free flour for cakes and cookies and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons for breads and pizza dough. 3. Adjust Liquid: Gluten-free flour absorbs more liquid than regular flour, so you might need to add more liquid to your recipe. Add an extra tablespoon of liquid until you achieve the desired consistency. 4. Increase Leavening Agents: Sometimes, you might need to slightly increase the amount of baking powder or baking soda to help the baked goods rise properly. 5. Experiment with Baking Times and Temperatures: Gluten-free baked goods may require different baking times or temperatures. Keep an eye on them and adjust as necessary. 6. Resting Time: Allow the batter or dough to rest 15-30 minutes before baking. This can help improve the texture and hydration of gluten-free flours. 7. Use Recipes Designed for Gluten-Free Flours: For best results, start with recipes specifically developed for gluten-free flours, as these will already account for their unique properties. By following these tips, you can achieve good results when substituting gluten-free flour in your baking. Hope it helps. Thank you. Best, Rik
Just an inspiration on peeling off the brown almond skin: would rubbing almonds between 2 towels help it go faster? (Not sure if it would work, but thought I’d suggest it). LOVE your recipes and enthusiasm 👍🏼
The almonds are used only for the decoration on top of each bun to make the rascal face. Omit them completely or substitute with anything else your family could eat.
Love visiting Betty's tearooms in Ilkley, which is a 20 minute drive away from my home or the one in Northallerton when we go to our caravan. I've also been to the ones in Harrogate and York. My choice is always the famous Fat Rascals! My son in law works in Ilkley so often pops into Betty's to buy them!
@@BackyardChef, yes they are! We queued outside the Ilkley one earlier this year for the tearoom and I have seen queues at the others too. Which one did you visit?
The only exclusively yorkshire sweet treat I can remember. which was very popular with my victorian and edwardian grandparents, was Yorkshire cheese cake, They still make them in a bakers near me but they have changed the name to curd tart so people dont get confused with the new york style which is not the same or even close. We used to always get sent to the bakers for a cheese cake and some boiled ham as kids.
Looks great! Going to try this plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and choline and lead in eggs. Thanks for sharing
Baked for years and learnt something new … how to Zest!🤣 Definitely going to have a go. Need some Cherries though. Oh! bother can just leave them off? 🏴🏴🏴
I have to. Say that yours look much better than Bettys. Ive had a few from there over the yezrs and they're always so dry. Have saved your recipe, thanks so much.

Just an inspiration on peeling off the brown almond skin: would rubbing almonds between 2 towels help it go faster? (Not sure if it would work, but thought I’d suggest it). LOVE your recipes and enthusiasm 👍🏼
It would. Best, Rik
Why not set it up so I could buy you a coffee or tip you otherwise?
Thanks, already in the description, just have to scroll a little down. Best, Rik
Rub the almonds in a tea towel to remove the skins.
Great tip! best, Rik
It looks so good. I most likely wouldn't make them due to the almonds. I have family members who are allergic to almonds.
The almonds are used only for the decoration on top of each bun to make the rascal face. Omit them completely or substitute with anything else your family could eat.
Add any nuts you like or don't even have them on - they are only for the decoration. Best, Rik
I put the almonds in a clean tea towel, and rub them.
Great tip! Best, Rik
Love visiting Betty's tearooms in Ilkley, which is a 20 minute drive away from my home or the one in Northallerton when we go to our caravan. I've also been to the ones in Harrogate and York. My choice is always the famous Fat Rascals! My son in law works in Ilkley so often pops into Betty's to buy them!
Is Betty's still as busy? Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef, yes they are! We queued outside the Ilkley one earlier this year for the tearoom and I have seen queues at the others too.
Which one did you visit?
@@amandaterry1964 York the queue was throught the square there and round the corner. Thank you. Best, Rik
Eccles cake a good one too 15.00
Thank you. Best, Rik
Can you freeze them Rik?
I haven't, do not see why not. Thank you. Best, Rik
Literally a fruit cake cookie.
Is it? Best, Rik
The only exclusively yorkshire sweet treat I can remember. which was very popular with my victorian and edwardian grandparents, was Yorkshire cheese cake, They still make them in a bakers near me but they have changed the name to curd tart so people dont get confused with the new york style which is not the same or even close. We used to always get sent to the bakers for a cheese cake and some boiled ham as kids.
Will be on the channel in a week - Its scheduled. Best, Rik
Oh my God, Rik. I've died and gone to heaven! I've just had my Betty's delivery box. I've eaten one with butter, which I made yesterday.
Well done. Best, Rik
Got too go make some ❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks great! Going to try this plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and choline and lead in eggs. Thanks for sharing
We're in Betty's Tea Shop, well were not. 🙄
Yep! Betty's deserve the credit. Best, Rik

@@BackyardChef I have English ancestry from that area. What a treat to see these recipes, and done so well.
When you say.. baking Soda, do you mean baking powder… or bicarbonate of Soda? They look absolutely delish!! 😋
Hi, Elizabeth. No. Baking soda - is bicarcarb of soda. Self raising flour or rising flour already contains baking powder - Thank you. Best, Rik
Aye, you're right. Maybe better luck this year, eh.
I have to. Say that yours look much better than Bettys. Ive had a few from there over the yezrs and they're always so dry. Have saved your recipe, thanks so much.
Oh wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
