It was a horrible, no good, very bad day. I won't even get into the details -- see my post if you want to read about the ridiculousness.

But what's cool is that it turns out it really does rock to have a husband to go through bad days with (I'm newly married, in case you didn't see that post). Mike and I dated for almost all of 15 years before we married (since I was 14), so you'd think I'd already kind of know what it's like to have someone always there with you, but this living-together-and-being-married thing really did make things feel different.

So, today sucked but my husband is awesome.

Also, more to what you probably care about: cake is awesome. And it also makes bad days better :) THIS cake is especially flippin' awesome. Hope you enjoy it!





Lemon Raspberry Gooey Butter Cake

Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking, adapted from one provided to St. Louis Today by Fred and Audrey Heimburger of Heimburger Bakery.
Yield: would easily serve 4-6 people

This was beyond fantastic. The gooey, fluffy texture of this cake along with the subtle lemon flavor was a downright ethereal combination. You're gonna freak out when you taste it!

Crust Ingredients:
1 cup cake flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Filling Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
powdered sugar for dusting

Toppings Ingredients:
fresh raspberries
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 heaping tablespoons powdered sugar
lemon zest

Directions:
NOTE: If you don’t have a skillet, I believe you can bake this in a greased 9-inch square baking dish (I’d use a glass one if you have it, and check it early and often. Remove when there’s some jiggle left.) Let us know how it goes if you try it this way for all the other skilletless people!

Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together cake flour, zest, and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling together. Press the mixture into the bottom (this step is a lot harder than it sounds, but be patient and use the back of a spoon to help spread/press the mixture down. I also stuck mine in the fridge for a bit to make the butter less sticky) and up the sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

Make the filling: Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and pale yellow (about 2-3 minutes). Mix in the egg until just combined. Alternate adding the flour and evaporated milk, mixing after each addition. Mix in the corn syrup, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle the top with icing sugar.

Bake and assemble the cake: Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until cake is nearly set (mine was probably ready around 30). Some jiggle is fine — do not overcook! It’ll finish setting up as it cools. Sprinkle some more powdered sugar on top. Let the cake cool in the skillet for 2 hours. In the meantime, beat heavy cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar together in a bowl to stiff peaks. Pile heaps of fresh raspberries into the center of your cooled, set gooey butter cake, top with a mountain of freshly whipped cream and lemon zest, and serve.

Moist Zucchini Carrot Bread - This moist, nicely spiced quick bread is perfect for breakfast or with a cup of tea, and extremely versatile. It can even be made into muffins! Recipe and more at The Alchemist.
Moist Zucchini Carrot Bread
An original recipe by me, Melissa aka The Alchemist
Makes 2 regular sized loaves, or about 6 small loaves, or 24 standard sized muffins
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup (250 g.) brown sugar, packed
1 cup (200 g.) white sugar
3 eggs
3 cups (420 g.) all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup (296 ml.) vegetable oil
2 heaping cups (13 oz.) (373 g.) shredded zucchini
1 1/2 cups (6 1/2 oz.) (183 g.) shredded carrots
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves, optional, if you don't like cloves, leave it out
1 cup (110 g.) chopped walnuts
3/4 cup (90 g.) raisins or dates, or another dried fruit OR go in a whole nother direction and add chocolate chips (if you add chocolate chips the only spice I personally would add in cinnamon - optional
more walnuts for topping - optional
cinnamon sugar for topping - optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 degrees Celsius, Gas Mark 4.
If using raisins, place them in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let sit to plump while you get the other ingredients together, 10 minutes or so.
Combine the dry ingredients, (flour, brown sugar, white sugar, salt baking soda, baking powder, and spices) into a large bowl and whisk together, making sure you break up the brown sugar and that it is combined well with the other ingredients.
In another large bowl add the eggs and whisk to beat them a bit. Add the oil and vanilla extract and whisk again. Put the whisk down and get a large or wooden spoon. Stir in the dry ingredients to thoroughly combine it with the wet ingredients. Stir in the shredded zucchini and carrots until combined. Now stir in the nuts and strained raisins (if using) or other dried fruit or chocolate chips (if using.)
Prepare pans for using. If using small loaf pans or making muffins, grease the pans (or muffin tins) well. If using large loaf pans grease pans, then make a sling by placing a piece of parchment paper one way so it hangs over the sides, then the other way, also hanging over the sides, to create a sling to easily lift the bread out when done. (Also pictured above.) Grease the parchment paper as well. Pour the batter into prepared pans, 3/4 of the way full.
Sprinkle more chopped walnuts (if desired) on top of loaves or muffins and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the nuts (if desired.)
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Times listed below.
- For standard sized muffins about 24 minutes
Bake large loaves for 50 - 70 minutes depending on size of loaf, if a tall loaf it will take longer, while shorter loaves will take the lesser time.
Bake small loaves for about 28-32 minutes

Cannoli with Ricotta Cheese Filling

Пятница, 15 Ноября 2013 г. 19:49 + в цитатник
Originally posted by a_boleyn at Cannoli with Ricotta Cheese Filling
I recently found some cannoli tubes in my mom's place and decided to finally give these classic Italian pastries a try. For more pictures of the technique, visit my LJ post.



Cannoli Shells - makes 30 x 4 1/2 inch cannoli

1 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp vegetable shortening, lard or butter**
6-7 tbsp sweet Marsala wine** or sweet vermouth

Egg white for sealing or water** if you're concerned about it sticking to the cannoli tubes

** What I used

In a food processor, process together the flour, cocoa, salt and sugar for 5 seconds or so. Add shortening and pulse until crumbled, about 10 seconds. With processor running, pour in the marsala through the feed tube until a ball of dough starts forming around the blade. Then, stop adding the marsala and process for another minute.

Remove dough and knead 2 to 3 minutes. It's ok if the outside of the dough tears after you're done kneading unlike with pizza or bread dough where you want gluten strands to have developed during the kneading.

Let the dough sit wrapped in saran wrap or a ziplock bag for one hour to rest at room temperature.

Lightly oil the outside of the cannoli tubes the first time they're going to be used if new or if they've been cleaned. (I didn't bother but you may not want to take the risk.)

Cut the dough into 4 pieces and proceed as for making pasta dough with each piece.

Run the slightly flattened dough through the first setting on the pasta rollers 3 times, folding each time into thirds and then once on each of the other settings. If the dough sticks, flour very lightly. I didn't go to the last setting on my machine (7) but stopped at the one before it (6).

Use template C (4 1/2 inch oval), placed lengthwise, to cut the cannoli. The dough will just overlap. Dab a little water on the edge and seal together, patting gently to flatten the thicker area a bit, and set down on a tray lined with plastic wrap until you've made as many as you have tubes for.

Fry at 360-375 deg F for about 45 seconds (they'll turn a pinkish colour, shake from the tube back into the oil, or remove using a paper towel for your hand, and let complete frying for another minute or so.

Ricotta Filling for Cannoli - enough filling for 18 x 4 1/2 inch cannoli

1 pound sheep's milk ricotta (may substitute cow's milk)
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp Grand Marnier (optional)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Place a strainer over a bowl. Line with cheesecloth and pour ricotta into the cheesecloth. Wrap up and place a weight over the cheese. Refrigerate overnight to strain out as much excess moisture as possible. If the ricotta is not very fine, process in food processor until it's ultra smooth.

Add icing sugar and vanilla extract to processed ricotta cheese until well blended.

Remove processing blade and stir in mini chocolate chips.

Spoon the filling into a pastry bag with an open tip, and place the bag in the refrigerator.

Fill cannoli shells just before serving. Dust with icing sugar.

The Best All Butter Pie Crust Recipe

Пятница, 15 Ноября 2013 г. 19:47 + в цитатник
Originally posted by hardboiledblond at The Best All Butter Pie Crust Recipe
The Best All Butter Pie Crust
Here is a recipe I've been working on for a while now, The Best All Butter Pie Crust Recipe - This is the best tasting pie crust I've ever had, it's delicious. I wanted to really master pie making for the holidays and find a recipe I really loved and was excited about. Here it is! Along with lots of great pie making tips and lots more photos. At The Alchemist.
The Best All Butter Pie Crust Recipe


This recipe is my own. It is loosely adapted from Ann Burrell's Pie Dough Recipe as well as a few ideas from America's Test Kitchen

This recipe makes enough for 2 crusts, for an 8 or 9 inch pie, or one double crust pie. If you only need one crust, for a pumpkin pie, or a cream pie, freeze the other half, or simply halve the recipe. The dough will last for months frozen if double wrapped and then placed in a zip top bag and sealed. Simply thaw it in the fridge and continue with the directions from there.

This recipe contains vodka. Americas test kitchen is famous for using it in their pie crust. Their recipe uses more than mine, and their recipe is different. I've taken the idea from them. The reason it is a great element for a pie crust, is because gluten forms in water but not in alcohol. In a pie crust recipe you want to use the least amount of water as possible, but sometimes this makes it hard to roll out. By using a little alcohol it makes it easier to work with, without adding water, since the alcohol cooks out and leaves no taste. If you absolutely do not consume alcohol go ahead and leave it out, you may need to use a tablespoon or 2 more ice water.

Vinegar is used in the recipe because it helps prevent the formation of gluten, which will ultimately make for a flakier crust, you can't taste it since it is just a teaspoon.

Using the best quality butter you can get your hands on is a good idea here, since the butter is the star ingredient.

Ingredients

2 1/2 sticks (20 Tablespoons) or (285 g.) of very cold good quality butter, cut into small pieces then held in the fridge to get it cold again, plus extra for greasing the pie plate

2 cups (268 g.) all purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough OR use rice flour for rolling

rice flour for rolling out dough, optional

2 Tablespoons sugar - omit if you are making a savory pie, like a pot pie

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. apple cider vinegar

2 Tablespoons cold vodka

5-7 Tablespoons ice cold water


Directions

Get your ingredients ready. Get your food processor out. Have the butter cut into small pieces, then placed in the fridge until needed. Have a cup of water with a few ice cubes in it next to your food processor to use as your ice water. Make sure your vodka is cold.

In the bowl of the food processor add the flour, sugar and salt and blend together. Take the butter pieces out of the fridge and add about half of it to the food processor. Pulse it a few times to get the butter mixed in, then add the other half of the butter. Pulse the butter into the flour until it resembles little pieces of grated cheese. Now remove the lid of the food processor and sprinkle on the vodka, and the apple cider vinegar, plus 2 Tablespoons of ice water. Pulse it again a few times to get it mixed in. Then add 2 more tablespoons of ice water and pulse until it's blended in. The goal is to work the dough as little as possible, so just pulse it as few times as needed to get it to be mixed together. Only add enough water to get the dough to stick together. Add as little as possible. Remove the lid of the food processor and pinch it together to see if it sticks together. If it needs more water, if it's not sticking together, add a tablespoon at a time, pulse, then check it again.

When it's ready, dump out the contents onto a work surface such as a big cutting board. Form it into a flat disc with your hands, then cut it in half and flatten each disc, this will make it easier to roll out later. I weigh each one with a scale to make sure I've divided them in two equal portions. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap then refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to days in advance.

When ready to use the dough, remove it from the fridge for about 20 minutes, to let it get soft enough to roll. Dust the work surface and the dough with flour (or rice flour, as mentioned above.) Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough, evenly in all directions. Turn the dough a 1/4 of a turn after each roll to get it as even in all directions as possible. If it gets tacky, use a little more flour, don't let it stick to your work surface. Roll out the dough until it's about 1/8 of an inch thick.

Grease your glass pie plate (an 8 or 9 inch) with butter and place the rolled out dough in the plate. It should hang over at least a 1/2 inch, if it hangs out more than that, cut it to 1/2 inch overhang. Fill the pie and bake as directed in your recipe.

*This is an important step* After you've filled your pie, you need to tuck the top crust under the bottom crust, then crimp together. Make sure the crust is not hanging over the edge. Make sure after you have crimped it together that it is inside the pie plate. When the crust bakes, if it's hanging over the edge, it will fall down over the edge of the pie plate and hang over. If making a fruit pie, make sure the edges are sealed, so the juices don't go running out of the edge. Make sure you cut vent holes on the top.

If you are making a single crust pie, just make sure when you crimp the edges so that they stay inside the pie plate, not hanging over the edge.

To blind bake for a single crust pie: Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, raw rice, or dried beans. Bake in a preheated 425 degrees F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, remove the parchment and beans and bake for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the pie shell from the oven and cool. The dough should be golden and crisp. Continue with desired filling.

Game Day Pretzels

My favorite part of attending pro sports games is the pretzels. Well, the sport, too, but seriously - those pretzels! Pretzels are the perfect sport or party food because they're delicious and super easy to eat one handed, so you can still cheer for the good guys while you enjoy a snack. I had the house to myself for a few hours yesterday, so I decided to try making my own.

 photo 20130922_150711_zps9d59217f.jpg



Soft Baked Pretzels
Ingredients
2 1/2 Tbsp butter, cubed and at room temperature
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 cups warm water (110°-115°F)
1 packet active dry yeast
5 c. flour, plus more for kneading
10 cups water
2/3 c. baking soda
1-2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Topping
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp water
coarse salt

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine water, brown sugar and butter. Sprinkle yeast on top and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add 3 cups of flour. Attach dough hook and mix on low speed ("stir" if you have a KitchenAid), gradually increasing to medium speed (3 or 4) as the flour gets incorporated. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Mix in the remaining 2 cups of flour until the dough gathers around the hook and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will be VERY sticky.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour if necessary (I used about an additional 1/4 cup). and kneading until smooth and elastic - dough should not stick to your hands.

Lightly grease a large bowl with the vegetable oil. Place the dough into the greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or put into a plastic bag and let rise until doubled in size, about one hour

Preheat oven to 425°F and spray baking sheets with non-stick spray. Punch dough down and divide and shape into an even number of balls, roughly the same size (I made 8 but could have made more for smaller pretzels). Roll each ball into a 24 inch long rope. Bring the ends together to start to form a circle, then twist ends once and lay over the opposite side of the circle, pinching the ends together to seal.

In a large pot, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Carefully drop the pretzels into the boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds and remove with a slotted spoon. Transfer cooked pretzels to prepared baking sheets.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and water; brush over pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown. Transfer pretzels to a wire rack to cool completely or eat once cool enough to handle. Serve with dipping sauce of your choice or eat plain.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pillow Popovers

Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking
Yield: 39 pillows

These little pumpkin cheesecake pillows are amazing served warm with vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. Add some toasted pecans for more delicious fall flavor. This recipe makes 39 pillows, but if you don't need that many, just half it. To half 1 egg, lightly beat it in a small bowl and discard about 1.5 tablespoons of it before adding it to the recipe.

Ingredients:
4 cans crescent rolls
2 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
5/8 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon*, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice*
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg*
1/2 teaspoon ginger*
powdered sugar for sprinkling
caramel sauce and ice cream for serving
*or substitute 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice for these spices.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray two mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, and beat to combine. Cover this and chill it while you prepare your dough.

Unroll one can of crescent baking sheet dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to around 9 x 12 inches. Cut it using a pizza cutter into 9 squares, roughly 3 x 4 inches each. Place the squares into wells of the mini muffin tins, skipping a well between each. Gently push the squares down into the well. Spoon a heaping spoonful of the pumpkin mixture into each well and pinch the corners of the dough together around it, twisting at the top to close.

Bake for 10-14 minutes or until browned (let them get good and golden or they'll still be doughy in the middle.) Remove from the oven and top with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Let them cool in the pan for around 5 minutes before serving them in a bowl with heaping scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and caramel drizzle.

Sausage & Corn Chile Con Queso Taco Ring

Originally posted by layers_of_eli at Sausage & Corn Chile Con Queso Taco Ring
I'm behind on my LJ posts, so 2 in one day (and one still to come, but I'll hold off for that one) from me. This one NEEDS to make your "to do" list. It was insane.

This Sausage & Corn Chile Con Queso Taco Ring is stuffed with a mixture of hot sausage, sweet corn, green chiles, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese. The result is a creamy, savory masterpiece with a little kick -- not too much for kids -- that is so delicious with some crisp iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa, fresh guacamole, and sour cream. Since it uses Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, it was quick and easy to whip up. It trumps all regular tacos and taco rings, and even my Taco Stuffed Crescent Rolls, which is really saying something. Because those things are nuts.

Anyway, please make this one! And send me some.





Sausage & Corn Chile Con Queso Taco Ring

Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking
Yield: 5-6 portions

Forget your usual tacos and even your usual taco rings: this taco ring is an explosion of hot sausage con queso with green chiles. It's gonna blow your mind! And it's so easy to make.

Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons salsa of your choice
1 tablespoon diced green chiles
1 pound hot sausage
olive oil (if needed)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and cover a round pizza pan with foil sprayed with cooking spray (or use a pizza stone or baking sheet). Place cream cheese, cheese, salsa, and chiles in a large bowl and set aside.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage. Remove the meat to a paper-towel lined plate to drain, reserving the grease in the skillet. As soon as sausage has drained for a minute, pour it into the cream cheese bowl. Set this aside to allow the cheeses to melt.

In the meantime, pour corn kernels into the skillet over medium heat (adding a little olive oil if there's not enough grease) and cook 5-6 minutes or until heated through. Stir in 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning towards the end of cooking. Pour the hot corn over the cream cheese and sausage mixture. Stir together until well combined (it'll take a bit, but it'll come together).

Carefully unroll packages of crescent rolls, separating them into long triangles. Place triangles, points out, in a sun-like ring (allowing bases of the triangles to overlap). Press down on the overlapping bases to flatten the center of the ring to a consistent thickness. (If you'd like to see a video of these steps, I loved this one). Spoon sausage mixture all around the ring (you'll need to really pile it high) and then tuck the points up and over the mixture. Bake until golden brown (let it get really golden to avoid doughiness), around 15 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, top it with cheddar cheese. Serve with salsa, cilantro, sour cream, chips, and guacamole.

so, the stuffed mushrooms:

we take mushrooms with beautiful hats and we take away stipes. Maybe now I will tell you an obvious thing, but for me it wasn't obvious - take the stipes away with a spoon - with the knife you destroy the hats))
Fotor0100910190
Nuts-mushrooms stuffing: stipes of mushrooms, onions, nuts (i have pines, but walnut is better), white dry wine, cilantro, salt, pepper, olive oil.
fry the onions, add the chopped stipes and other remains from hats. salt,pepper.
Now look what i thought about... move everything on one half, and in another put nuts (they should be fried a little bit), and then mix everything together.
add a little wine (literally for a smell),allow wine to be evaporated. Add chopped cilantro. and try it... It should be tasty for you
Fotor01009102012

Egg and onions stuffing: boiled egg, spring onions, parsley, salt, pepper. well it is classics...
We mix onions and egg and fry a little. We add salt, pepper, parsley.
Fotor01009102426
Avocado-cheese stuffing: simply we cut avocado and we rub on a grater cheese (I believe, it has to be a cheese with strong taste as avocado will soften it). I had Halloumi. It would be good to mash avocado with Philadelphia, but this is the other story... because I didn't buy Philadelphia))
Fotor01009102527
Thats all... we fill our hats and put it in the oven. I put on the maximum temperature with air. But it is possible to do it on a grill (15-20min)

Sausage and Thyme Stuffed Mushrooms

YOU GUYS. "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence. No joke! That's so off-topic but also so incredible. I wrote all about it over on the blog, so if you're feeling ridiculous and want to read it, you can.

In the meantime, stuffed mushrooms. These are the BEST you'll ever eat. This recipe is very slightly adapted from Pioneer Woman's stuffed mushroom recipe, and features an incredible filling of mushroom, onions, sausage, cream cheese, white wine, and thyme. Mike and I eat the whole batch by ourselves as a main course some nights for dinner.





Sausage and Thyme Stuffed Mushrooms

Recipe by: Very slightly adapted from Pioneer Woman
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
24 ounces white button mushrooms
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 pound hot pork sausage
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup dry white wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Clean the mushrooms and cut their stems out, finely chopping and reserving the stems. Place the hollowed out mushroom caps on a foil-lined baking sheet. Combine the softened cream cheese and egg yolk in a large bowl. Add in the grated parmesan and thyme.

In a medium skillet over high heat, brown the sausage. When it's browned, remove it with a slotted spoon to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Let it sit and melt the cheese while you cook the onions until softened in the remaining sausage drippings, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds before adding in white wine to deglaze the pan. Cook until the liquid is gone, about 2 minutes. Add in the mushroom stems and cook until they're tender, about 2 minutes. Spoon the mixture into the cream cheese bowl and mix it all together. Salt and pepper this mixture to taste. Pile each mushroom cap high with the cream cheese mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm. Let the mushrooms cool a few minutes, serving warm.

Double Crust Peach Pie with Fresh Peaches

Here is an old fashioned peach pie made with fresh peaches in an all butter flaky crust. A delicious classic. Recipe and more over at The Alchemist.

Double Crust Peach Pie With Fresh Peaches


Ingredients

Pie Crust for a 8 inch deep dish pie or a 9 inch Pie Try my recipe for The Best All Butter Pie Crust Recipe If you are using my pie crust recipe, please follow the directions in that recipe along with these instructions.

1 egg white beaten with a teaspoon of water

5 cups (980 g.) or 2 pounds, 3 oz. sliced and peeled ripe peaches

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup (70 g.) all purpose flour

1 cup (200 g.) white sugar

2 Tablespoons butter

additional sugar for topping the pie

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, 200 degrees Celsius, Gas Mark 6. Place a cookie sheet covered in foil in the oven to preheat. ** Read the recipe before making, if you are using my pie crust recipe don't preheat the oven now, do it later after freezing or refrigerating the prepared pie.

Line the bottom and sides of pie plate (glass or pyrex is best) with the crust. Brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg white, this will help keep it from getting soggy while baking.

Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Toss it gently. Mix together the flour and the sugar in another bowl. Pour over the peaches and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg white over the top crust and sprinkle it with sugar. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.

***If you are using my pie crust recipe, or a homemade recipe, at this point I would recommend freezing or refrigerating the pie at this point for 30-60 minutes. To help calm the gluten in the flour after rolling. If you are using a frozen pie crust you don't need to do this. After doing that, if you haven't preheated the oven yet, do it now.

Place the pie on the preheated cookie sheet. Place it on one of the lower racks in the oven. This will help cook the bottom crust, so it doesn't get soggy.

Bake for about an hour. Check the pie after about 40 minutes to make sure the edges aren't getting too browned. If they are cover them with foil. It's done when the top and bottom is browned.

Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.

Oh gosh, it has been virtually forever since I have posted a recipe here! But you'll forgive me in about 0.0005 seconds, because a) you are going to hate me for this recipe, and b) you are going to LOVE me for this recipe. Original, chewy, and friend-tested. Peanut buttery heaven.

Peanut Butter Lovers" Chocolate Oat Squares 25--101313

If you think this is cute, I have tons of pictures and banners for this incredibly chewy bar. For the full recipe and a really FUN new photoseries (which includes other fun Peanut Butter banners like the one above!) titled "TEN REASONS TO GET JIGGY WITH PEANUT BUTTER RIGHT NOW (MAYBE EVEN WHILE YOU READ THIS)," visit my newly made-over blog!

Peanut Butter Lovers’/Converts’ Chocolate Oat SquaresPossibly the most insanely peanut butter-packed, chewy, satisfying squares I have ever invented, filled with plenty of brown sugar, peanut butter, oats, and chocolate. Perfect for an afternoon snack or a surprise dessert!Yield: 9×13-inch baking panIngredients:


  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened

  • 1 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup peanut butter (I used smooth)

  • 2 eggs, room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups flour

  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided in half

  • Assorted chopped candies or nuts, optional (but a great way to use up those Halloween leftovers!)

Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar. Add peanut butter and mix in well, until smooth.

  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until mixture is no longer clumpy.

  4. Add remaining dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking powder, and salt) and stir in until just incorporated. Be sure not to overmix–overmixing will result in tough batter and bars!

  5. Gently fold half of the chocolate chips (3/4 cup) into the oats batter.

  6. Place remaining 3/4 cup chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt chocolate in microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously between each interval to prevent chocolate from scorching. (Note: You will want to stop microwaving at the point when your chocolate is just melted–at this point, stir it vigorously some more until all of the chocolate is smooth and melted.)

  7. Scoop half of the peanut butter oat mixture into your prepared baking pan and pat into an even layer. Pour melted chocolate over this layer, then scoop the remaining peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer. Pat down peanut butter oats as well as you can–it’s okay if some chocolate peeks through! (It’s actually cuter this way.)

  8. Bake bars in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until bars begin to set but are still soft and slightly underbaked in appearance. Remove bars immediately from oven and allow to cool on stovetop for an addition 15-20 minutes. During this time, your bars will continue baking for a nice chewy texture, and you will continue salivating while you stick your spoon into the peanut butter jar for yet another consoling bite.

  9. After your bars have completely cooled, cut into squares and enjoy the bliss!

Pumpkin spice latte doughnuts

Doughnuts? Donuts? Little round doughy bits that taste quite alright. I love the smell of pumpkin spice lattes, but a gnarly caffeine allergy deters me from a morning cuppa. That's okay. I found Krakus, from Poland! I picked it up at my local Bulk Barn. Nope, It's not exactly like coffee, because it's made from the extracts of roasted barley, chicory, rye and beet roots. It does have that nice roasted, full, flavour coffee seems to have. I've made this little ditties in mini muffin and mini doughnut pans, and they turned out nice! The glaze is a ganache made of melted dairy-free white chocolate and a few tablespoons of extremely strong Krakus. This would be rad with a dark chocolate as well, I'm sure!


Ingredients I
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp dairy free milk - I used Almond Breeze's almond coconut milk
1/4c strong coffee / coffee substitute (or just more milk alt)
1/2c canned pureed pumpkin
1/4c white sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
1/4c butter (melted)

Ingredients II

2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2c flour

Glaze

3/4 cup dairy free white chocolate (bark/chips/bar)
2-3 tbsp strong coffee / coffee sub


In a bowl, combine your dairy free milk and ACV. Stir, and add in the rest of Ingredients I. In a separate, larger bowl, sift in all of Ingredients II. Make a well, and add in your wet ingredients. The consistency will be doughy, a bit sticky, and a bit like a pizza dough (minus the puffiness the yeast provides, but you already know this).

Spoon batter into trays. Don't be afraid to smooth out the tops of batter, it'll then rise nice and evenly. In my picture, I could have smoothed them out more, but let's be real, it was midnight and they had to get to a birthday girl bright and early.

Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until your toothpick comes out clean.

Let sit in the trays for 10 minutes, before removing and placing on a cooling rack.

Once fairly cooled, you can begin making your Glaze. To do this, microwave ..or double-boiler, or VERY carefully put in a saucepan on low!.. your chips until fully melted, stirring a heap. Add in 2 tbsp of your coffee/sub, and see if you like the consistency and flavour. It should be thin enough to drizzle, but thick enough to not run all over the place and be a major bummer. I dunked a fork in my glaze and drizzled each piece. If your glaze starts hardening, nuke it for a few shakes.

Baked Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dumplings

These Baked Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dumplings are the perfect comfort food. They're a riff on the classic Baked Apple Dumplings -- apples baked in pie crust -- except they include a unique cinnamon cheesecake center! Serve them with ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, and toasted pecans.

Also, I had the most ridiculous and awkward night at the gym ever and I wrote about it on the blog. So there's that.





Baked Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dumplings

Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking, adapted from Brown Eyed Baker and Taste of Home
Yield: 4 servings

Baked Apple Dumplings with a cinnamon cheesecake center. These are a heavenly fall dessert!

Pastry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lard or vegetable shortening, chilled
1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut into cubes
3 tablespoons ice water

Apple Ingredients:
4 medium apples, peeled
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cheesecake Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 egg

Sauce Ingredients:
3/4 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter, cubed
pinch salt
Werther's Original® Baking Caramels, melted
toasted pecans*

Directions:
*Note: To toast pecans, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 6 minutes or until fragrant, tossing several times.

Make the pastry: Pulse the flour and salt together in the bowl of a food processor to combine. Add the lard in hunks and pulse for about 10 seconds until it’s the texture of coarse sand. Add in the chunks of cold butter and pulse for about 10 pulses until butter pieces are no larger than small peas. Add 3 tablespoons of ice cold water and turn food processor on low — the dough should form a dough ball in a few seconds. If the dough remains crumbly and doesn’t come together, add another tablespoon of water. Add as little water total as is required for the dough to form a ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions on sheets of plastic wrap, form each into a disk, and chill for at least 20-30 minutes while completing the rest of the recipe.

Make the cheesecake: In a medium bowl, mix the cheesecake filling ingredients together. Scrape the filling into a ziplock bag and chill while you complete the rest of the recipe.

Prepare the apples: Core each of your peeled apples, taking out a core of about 1 to 1 1/2-inch diameter so you have space for your cheesecake filling. Mix together the 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon to form a cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll each apple in the mixture. Reserve any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Roll out each portion of the pie pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rough 7-inch square. Place an apple on the center of each. Cut off the corner of the ziplock bag of cheesecake filling and pipe filling into the center of each apple. Then pull up the corners of the pie pastry and tuck each corner into the center of the apple, pinching the dough together to seal. Place the apples into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Make the sauce: Heat the brown sugar, water, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it boils, stirring occasionally. Pour the sauce over the apples and bake them, basting occasionally, for 50 to 55 minutes or until tender and golden brown. If the cheesecake seems to be getting too dark on top, cover it with a snippet of foil. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream, a drizzle of melted Werther's caramel, and toasted pecans.

The Very BEST Tiramisu (Recipe from America's Test KItchen)

It's non-bake. It's fail-proof. It's easy. And best of all....it is THE VERY BEST tiramisu recipe you will ever find. Over, sideways, and under.

BEST Tiramisu from America"s Test Kitchen 24-101913

You can find the amazing recipe under the cut--but for more amazeballs photos, banners, and recipes, click on over to my blog! I'd love to see you there. Cheerio!


The Very BEST Tiramisu–America’s Test Kitchen


Yield: 9×13-inch baking dish


Original recipe below from America’s Test Kitchen. Alterations to the recipe or comments made by me are indicated in blue.


Ingredients:


  • 2-1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, room temperature

  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons instant espresso granules–I had instant coffee granules on hand and used about 4 tablespoons of that instead.

  • 9 tablespoons dark rum–I added about a tablespoon or two extra Kahlua in step 2.

  • 6 large egg yolks

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt

  • 1-1/2 pounds mascarpone

  • 3/4 cup cold heavy cream

  • 14 ounces (42 to 60, depending on size) dried ladyfingers (savoiardi)–note: you will want to buy the hard variety of ladyfingers.

  • 3-1/2 Tablespoons cocoa, preferably Dutch-processed

  • 1/4 cup grated semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (optional)

Directions:

1. Stir coffee, espresso, and 5 tablespoons rum in a wide bowl or baking dish until espresso dissolves; set aside.

2. In bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat yolks at low speed until just combined. Add sugar and salt and beat at medium-high speed until pale yellow, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, scraping down bowl with rubber spatula once or twice. Add remaining 4 tablespoons rum and beat at medium speed until just combined, 20 to 30 seconds; scrape bowl. Add mascarpone and beat at medium speed until no lumps remain, 30 to 45 seconds, scraping down bowl once or twice. Transfer mixture to large bowl and set aside.

3. In now-empty mixer bowl (no need to clean bowl), beat cream at medium speed until frothy, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until cream holds stiff peaks, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer. Using rubber spatula, fold one-third of whipped cream into mascarpone mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Set mascarpone mixture aside.

4. Working one at a time, drop half of ladyfingers into coffee mixture, roll, remove and transfer to 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish–I used one 9×9-inch springform baking pan (it makes for a great appearance) and one 4×6-inch casserole dish. (Do not submerge ladyfingers in coffee mixture; entire process should take no longer than 2 to 3 seconds for each cookie.) Arrange soaked cookies in single layer in baking dish, breaking or trimming ladyfingers as needed to fit neatly into dish.–Helpful tip: What the instructions mean hear is basically that you should lightly and quickly roll your ladyfingers in the coffee mixture; don’t dunk them in for a long period of time, or they will get soggy in your tiramisu.

5. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers; use rubber spatula to spread mixture to sides and into corners of dish and smooth surface. Place 2 tablespoons cocoa in fine-mesh strainer and dust cocoa over mascarpone.

6. Repeat dipping and arrangement of ladyfingers; spread remaining mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers and dust with remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons cocoa. Wipe edges of dish with dry paper towel. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 to 24 hours. Sprinkle with grated chocolate, if using; cut into pieces and serve chilled.
