Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This month is going to be a fruity month for Baking Chez Moi. I had already purchased my peaches for our Brown Butter Peach Tourte when I found these Italian plums. I am not familiar with Italian plums so I did a little research and found they are also called…
Tag: Tuesday With Dorie
Profiteroles, Ice Cream and Hot Chocolate Sauce, Benoit Style
First day of school. First day of high school. First day of a new school district. A day like today needed a special dessert and this week’s selection for Tuesdays with Dorie fit the bill. There are many components to this dish. I made the cream puff dough, vanilla pastry cream and ice cream (not…
Crash-O-Cookies
These are an amped up oatmeal cookie with chocolate, raisins and cinnamon. These were enjoyed by those who like oatmeal cookies. I would make these again. To see what others thought go to the Tuesdays with Dorie blog roll. Crash-O-Cookies page 365.
Double-Corn Tea Cake
When this corn cake came out of the oven my husband asked if he could have some, I often bake and release so he wanted to make sure. I said yes as I figured a picture of a cake sliced open would be better than a loaf. Three slices later, I now felt like I…
Anytime Tarragon-Apricot Cookies
Another cookie from the cocktail cookies section. The goat cheese and chive cookies were a big hit in my house especially with my son. I was able to find Turkish apricots in my local grocery store. They were soft so I skipped the soaking instructions. Finely chopped tarragon is rubbed with the sugar and creamed…
Lavender Galettes
Tuesdays with Dorie Lavender Galettes These are the first galette cookies I have made but the second cookie made with olive oil. These crispy cookies are a snap to make. Rub sugar, orange zest and lavender flowers together. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in the olive oil and vanilla. Finally knead in…
Coffee Malteds
Coffee is a beloved drink in our house. We have three coffee makers: drip, French Press and espresso. My husband buys whole beans and we have our own grinder. We love our coffee. I knew these cookies would be a hit. What I didn’t know was finding unflavored malted milk would be so tough. It…
Martine’s Gateau de Savoie
Martine’s Gateau de Savoie is a kind of sponge cake. The egg yolks are whipped together with the sugar. The egg whites are whipped separately and then folded into the yolks alternating with the flour. Into the Bundt pan it goes and viola you have a light and airy cake 45 minutes later. I took…
Classic Jammers
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Cookies with jam are very popular in my house. Unlike my fellow bakers I did not have gobs of jam to use in my cookies. I stuck with my staple of strawberry jam. I think these are fancy cookies and for special occasion due to the multi-step process in making…
Streusal-Topped Rhubarb Lime Tart
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I voted for this tart as we loved Dorie’s rhubarb cake we made two years ago. Dorie’s crust and streusal topping are really the star of this dish. My husband likes to joke that you could put cardboard between the two and it would taste good. This was a…
