One of the most fun parts of the the Harry Potter world is the delicious food! Harry and his friends enjoy foaming butterbeer from the Hogsmeade village, hopping chocolate frogs on the train to school and platters of yorkshire pudding at the start of term feast (that’s more of a British treat than a wizard one, but still). One great way to get into Harry Potter is to make some of these yourselves, with the help of your parents or an older sibling. See below for the recipe for treacle tart, and check back in the coming weeks for a few more!
