Hello everyone, I’m Evangeline — the hearthkeeper behind Dinwiddie Hearth, a tiny microbakery built on storms, stories, and a warm kitchen here in Knottingley.
I bake in very small batches from my home kitchen, focusing on comforting, handmade treats like Hearth‑Kissed Shortbread, Midnight Storm brownies, and Emberdoodles. Everything is made slowly, intentionally, and with a bit of folklore woven in — the kind of bakes that feel like they’ve rested at the edge of a fire.
Before I go any further, let me introduce you properly to the four core bakes that shape the heart of this little bakery:
🌩 Midnight Storm Fudge Brownies
Dark, glossy, and thundercloud‑soft inside — a molten, velvety centre that clings to the fork and melts on the tongue. The top ripples like a storm sky just before rain, with a warm cinnamon‑fudge flash running through it like lightning in the dark. A brownie that feels like shelter.
🔥 Hearth‑Kissed Shortbread
Buttery, tender, and kissed with a golden halo of demerara that crackles softly under your teeth. Simple, honest, Scottish to its bones — with a whisper of sea salt that turns it into something transcendent. A biscuit that doesn’t just melt… it sighs.
✨ Emberdoodles
A snickerdoodle that wandered too close to the fire and came back wiser. Brown‑butter dough gives them a deep, toffee‑rich soul, while the cinnamon‑demerara crust crackles like tiny embers. Soft in the centre, crisp at the edges, and smelling like the first night of autumn. A cookie that glows in your chest.
🍃 Lowland Gale Scones (with and without Hail)
Scones with weather in their bones — light, airy, and lifted with a Highland breeze. The plain version is tender with a hint of lemon zest, like a cool morning wind rolling over the lowlands. The Hail version bursts with juicy raisins, little sweet “hailstones” tucked into tall, proud dough. Warm, comforting, perfect with tea — like a storm passing and the sun breaking through.
Today I’m opening a new little doorway.
I’ve started a Patreon for those who enjoy cosy storytelling and want to follow the deeper side of this journey — the origins, the mishaps, the quiet moments that shaped the Ember Cart and this whole adventure. Each month, I share one Hearth Journey story: a soft, immersive chapter from the early days of building this tiny bakery from nothing but stubbornness, storms, and a warm kitchen.
And for those who want to be part of my tiny circle, I’m now offering The Hearth Cycle — a monthly box of bakes, made in batches of four, wrapped with care, and sent out as a little parcel of comfort.
If you enjoy small‑batch baking, cosy stories, or supporting local makers, you’re very welcome to join me by the fire.
Thank you for having me here.
