The holiday pie baking season is upon us and I could not be more happy. I started our Thanksgiving week early by making this Mulled-Butter Apple Pie for Sunday night family dinner. This pie is different as it includes brown butter that has been steeped with a cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamom pod, black peppercorns…
Tag: Tuesday With Dorie
Pecan-Cranberry Loaf
I am back from my lovely two week vacation in New England and Canada. Hi Mardi! Quebec was probably my favorite city. I was in part of the country that actually had fall weather, winter more like it, it snowed in Quebec the first day we were there. I am looking forward to fall baking,…
Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars
While making these bars, I was reminded of my favorite restaurant in San Jose, CA. I used to have to fly to San Jose once a month for work and I would always go to Jubba Restaurant East Africa Cuisine, they had the best spiced tea and fish wraps. If you are ever in the…
Devil’s Thumbprints
If these don’t get you into the holiday spirit then I don’t know what will 🙂 Our latest baking assignment comes from Baking with Dorie. This is a plan ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill for 2 hours. I decided to make a half a recipe which I am glad I did as…
Szarlotka
Szarlotka is a Polish dessert which Dorie describes as part cake, crumble and a torte. The picture reminded me of the Apple Kuchen we made from Baking Chez Moi. The ‘crust’ is really cake which I called dessert imposter as I kept thinking it should be crunchy like a crust. The filling has three pounds…
Banana Breakfast Squares
Our latest baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie comes from Baking with Dorie. This 9×13 inch cake serves 16 and I froze half as Dorie states it keeps well. My cake could not have come out more perfect; deep golden brown and surprisingly light and airy. The cake is comprised of a combination of all-purpose…
Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No Bake Pie
August is a busy month for us, we have many family birthdays including our son who just turned 20! My how time flies. This Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie from Baking with Dorie was the perfect summer dessert and also worked well for a birthday celebration. I made my graham cracker crust but you could buy…
Double-Corn Tomato Crisp
Our latest recipe with Baking with Dorie is this double corn and tomato crisp. This was a surprise hit with the family especially with so few ingredients. The filling comprises of ripe tomatoes, corn, onion, olive oil, sherry or balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, cayenne and basil. The topping which is the star of the…
Lamingtons
National Lamington Day celebrates an iconic Australian dessert. It is observed every year on July 21. In honor of this day we are making Lamingtons for Tuesdays with Dorie. Lamingtons are cubes of cake usually sponge covered in chocolate and coated with unsweetened coconut. This is a new dessert for our household but we were all…
Nectarine-Berry Cobbler
Since I am going to make a berry pie later this month I decided to go with Dorie’s Playing Around suggestion and I made a Nectarine-Berry Cobbler. A cobbler is a combination of fruit and biscuits and Dorie’s version includes cottage cheese in her biscuits. A quick search of my blog and I discovered that…
