My husband and I have definite division of labor in the kitchen and one of his jobs is frying. So today’s Nun’s Beignets had his name written all over it. Described as “wonderfully crisp on the outside and soft and eggy on the inside” perfectly fits this beignet recipe. We loved having donuts for breakfast…
Tag: Tuesday With Dorie
Valentine’s Day Share-A-Heart
Dorie suggests making two large hearts from this recipe but since I was not having a party and feared my son would eat the whole thing, I made several smaller hearts. I used a three to three and a half inch cookie cutter and got a total of 20 hearts. I really liked the instructions…
Sunday in Paris Chocolate Cake
Dorie suggests a variety of vessels you can use to make these cakes. I chose to make mine in mini-muffin tins. I got a total of 17 mini-muffins and I baked them approximately 12 minutes. The ganache was plenty for 17 but not the toppings. I ran out of peanuts and chopped chocolate after about…
Rose-Hibiscus Shortbread Fans
I actually made Hibiscus Shortbread Fans. I have not had any luck finding rose products so I just decided to leave it out. I don’t think I have made shortbread before so this was a new adventure for me. I must have mixed my dough incorrectly as I had trouble getting it into the pan…
Granola Cake
Our latest baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie is this Granola Cake from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie calls it a snack cake but I think it is more like a pan cookie. It was delicious but quite dense from the granola, chocolate and coconut. My husband likened it to a magic bar cookie but much…
Honey-Yogurt Mousse
This dessert was not on my radar. We are not a mousse family and I was not looking forward to this but as usual I was proven wrong. This was a cup of deliciousness; the tang of the yogurt, richness of the heavy cream and the sweetness of the honey. A cloud of a dessert….
Christmas Spice Cookies
These Christmas Spice Cookies were a delicious addition to the holiday baking season. Dorie’s flavors are always on point and this recipe was no exception. Everyone enjoyed them. I had a lot of trouble with the dough. I chilled for 3 plus hours, the dough was firm when I took it out but while I…
Spiced Honey Cake
Tis the season…for sniffling, sneezing, coughing, you get the picture. I am behind in my baking due to seasonal colds. My husband found my Baking Chez Moi cookbook open and asked honey cake today? Sadly this went on for a week but I am now back on my feet ready to bake. This cake is…
Apple Speculoos Crumble
Apple Speculoos Crumble from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan One of the things I like best about being a part of a baking group is not having to decide what to make for my next holiday meal. This apple speculoos crumble was a great accompaniment to the pumpkin pie that was served at our Thanksgiving…
Peanut Butter Change Ups
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. I chose the Peanut Butter Change-Ups as one of two recipes to choose from. My husband and I love peanut butter but sadly my son is allergic so I don’t cook with peanut products much. These cookies deviate from the standard in that they…
