Happy Thanksgiving! I managed to bake on time and take a picture but posting timely still proves to be an issue for me 🙂 I served these for our annual Friendsgiving and they were a big hit especially the cream cheese frosting. The holiday spices made for a perfect dessert. Definitely a make again recipe….
Tag: Tuesday With Dorie
Pear-Comté Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from the Salty Side Up section of Baking with Dorie. The base is an all-purpose tart dough which is partially baked then brushed with Dijon mustard. The filling is quiche-like with eggs, milk, heavy cream and cheese, lots and lots of cheese. I picked Gruyère cheese…
Goat Cheese Bites
My husband does not like blue cheese so I knew I was going to have to make a substitution. I asked one of our good friends his take on blue cheese and he sent me this response, “Cheese is white, yellow, orange or similar shade but never blue.” Blue Cheese Bites turned into Goat Cheese Bites…
Caramel-Apple Crisp
Fall baking season has begun and I am looking forward to it. I took Dorie’s advice and purchased a variety of apples; Fuji, Gala and Granny Smith. I made the crumble a day in advance which made for easy assembly. The caramel sauce was to-die-for and will definitely be seeing a scoop of vanilla ice…
Java Mads
Dorie gave us a choice to make mini mads with a mini muffin tin or full-size madeleines, I went with the latter. My husband does not care for madeleines much so he was not looking forward to them but guess what he declared these his favorite out of all the madeleines I have made. My…
Scones Pudding
We were suppose to have leftover scones to make this one but my hubby ate all the scones on the first go around. I happily made another batch as they are easy to put together. I made them a day in advance and let them sit out over night, viola stale scones. Bread pudding is…
Tomato Tart
Summer is in full swing so tomatoes are plentiful. My husband found these beautiful heirloom tomatoes. I followed the directions for one 9 inch tart. My tomatoes were so big that I only needed 2. This tart was delicious. Definitely a make again recipe. To see what others thought head over to Tuesdays with Dorie.
Buttermilk Scones
Scones are beloved with my family, I try and make them once a month or so. I have a recipe similar to this but it has more sugar and uses heavy cream or sour cream. I have not made scones with buttermilk before. I added the “playing around” ingredient of dried fruit and raisins are…
Chocolate-Pecan Cookies
Baking from 3 Dorie cookbooks has proved problematic for me especially with my work travel schedule. I have fallen behind in the cookie baking schedule this month. I was able to knock these out before my recent trip. I decided to skip the topping for time’s sake. These were easy to make with nice chocolate…
Crumb-Topped Ricotta Coffee Cake
We are well aware of the magic of ricotta cheese in baked goods. One of our favorite breakfast items is lemon ricotta pancakes. In this recipe the cake batter is very thick which held up the berries quite nicely. I always fear a soggy cake with fruit but this was not a problem here. The…
