While it has been a clean minute (or year) since I last blogged my foods, so lets recap a few of my food stories that turned out fabu!
more recently (easter 2014) I attempted my first brioche in the form of an Easter bread, which I never before had made. It was so well liked, my mother already has plans for what to do with this brioche next! The recipe you can find on finecooking.com as Authentic French Broiche
Scones! Well, Mothers day tea party approaching swiftly had me in the mood to test a few batches before the day fell upon us. You see, I have never made scones. They are trickier than biscuits! I have tested 2 recipes. One is the most popular/high rated scone recipe on allrecipes.com. The second I found on smitten kitchen. It was apparently the test kitchens.
Bread bowls, via King Arthur Flours recipe, but altered for adding my KAF sourdough starter. Rave reviews on these! Even by my picky gourmande bro in law.
just a pinch's site "best white cake ever". Topped with an altered white chocolate buttercream (for higher ratios of white chocolate, used Lindt bars). and my own raspberry (seedless) filling. This was a big hit.
OH MY GOD.... THIS CAKE IS A KEEPER! IT GOT MOISTER EACH DAY! IT ONLY LASTED 4 DAYS, BUT WAS SOOO MOIST EACH TIME! You could almost ball it up with your fingers.
Chocolate crinkles! 1st made a 2013 christmas cookie party, but remade to test a lower than suggested cooking time to achieve more moist fudgeness. The site escapes me, but its popular on pinterest and features a teal/light blue background. these were great!
more on the cake....
Sourdough cinnamon rolls from a doughnut dough recipe in an oldddd sourdough cook book. The dough is soooo the best for this. Hubs hates how typical cinny rolls get tougher and dryer each morning. He says "only good fresh". But with this dough, PROBLEM SOLVED!
Appitizer for Thanksgiving 2013. Brie en croute wrapped in puff pastry topped with brown sugar and pecans. Surrounded by fancy crackers and gala apples. HIT! BIG TIME!
This is the sourdough donut recipe used for the cinny rolls above, they taste SOOOO MUCHHH like krispie kremes! Hubs loves these! Everyone does!
baked pumpkin cake donuts with apple cidar glaze!
Success with gluten free biscuits! typical biscuit recipe used, but subbed better batter AP flour.
THIS IS A HUGE DEAL! GF BISCUITS ARE SOOOOO HARDDDD TO ACHEIVE!
