Brioche Doughnuts with Bourbon Glaze
Brioche Doughnuts with Bourbon Glaze I am a doughnut fan, as long as they are eaten as fresh as can be. This is also why I am a huge supporter of homemade doughnuts. Get them while they are warm and they will rival many desserts. This version is based upon brioche dough and […]
White Chocolate Lemon Heart Cake Balls
These are cake “balls” in a heart shape – a perfect treat for Valentine’s Day or even weddings. After you prepare the cake ball mixture, you press it into a pan and cut out the hearts with a cookie cutter, so really you could use any shaped cookie cutter you like (stars, dinosaurs, leaves, etc.) […]
Paris-Brest
Paris-Brest I love a classic Paris-Brest and I have to say, if I ain’t making it, I am usually enjoying it in a Parisian café. I think this is because home bakers think it is too complicated to attempt, and really, as Bernard Laurance shows us, it is a matter of classic technique […]
Brazilian Tapioca Crêpes
Brazilian Tapioca Crêpes I chose this recipe to share with you from Baklava to Tarte Tatinby Bernard Laurance because it is so different from any others here on Bakepedia, because it is easy and because it is exemplary of the world of desserts that we have to explore. How simple, yet how delectable. […]
Christmas Rice Pudding with Almonds
Christmas Rice Pudding with Almonds A creamy rice pudding with a holiday-red cherry sauce would be a welcomed site on a holiday buffet. This version comes from The Scandinavian Kitchenby Camilla Plum. The book is packed with images, recipe and stories that draw you into a Northern European world. The food, indeed many […]
Apricot Financiers
Apricot Financiers This is not a new recipe but it bears presenting as it uses canned fruit in a most excellent way – and who doesn’t need an easy dessert this time of year? Between the almond paste and the canned apricots you will end up with an incredibly moist “cookie”, that is really […]
Zengoula with Lemon Syrup: Iraqi Funnel Cakes
Zengoula with Lemon Syrup: Iraqi Funnel Cakes (Pareve) These funnel cakes are essentially a fried dough and like doughnuts of all kinds they are one of those sweets that really should be eaten as soon as they come out of the hot oil, so plan accordingly. You will be rewarded with crisp, sweet, […]
Apple-Stuffed Cheddar Puffs
Apple-Stuffed Cheddar Puffs A little bit sweet, a little bit savory. The combo of apples and cheddar are classically found in pie, here reimagined by Heather Baird in a stuffed gougères-like pastry. Pate a choux is possibly the easiest classic French pastry to make and they always look impressive. They puff up, crisp […]
Burnt Cinnamon-Sugar Grapefruit
Burnt Cinnamon-Sugar Grapefruit My Nana and my Mom liked to eat grapefruit halves. Each of them had a special knife in their kitchen, gently curved with serrations, that was used just for sectioning the bits of tart/sweet fruit for easy eating. I was almost more fascinated by the tool than enamored of the fruit, […]
Bananas Foster Crème Brûlée
Bananas Foster Crème Brûlée When someone claims that a recipe is an “epic culinary mash-up”, I expect results. Big results. This Bananas Foster Crème Brûlée from Graham Elliot delivers. The creamy, ripe bananas make the custard even more velvety and rich. The rum rounds out the flavors and of course the crackly sugar top […]
Baked Apple Turnovers
Baked Apple Turnovers You might mostly know Jamie Deen as a cook, but that man can make a dessert! We love his combination of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples for these turnovers, which take advantage of purchased puff pastry. The rag-tag appearance of the pastries in the image just adds to their charm for […]
Candy Apples
Candy Apples When I was a kid, bright red candy apples were the only way I wanted my apple candy treats. Some folks liked caramel apples but to me the shiny Candy Apples, with the sweet sugar glaze that shattered between my teeth, were a thing of beauty. And a rarity! Seems like the […]
Doughnut Holes
Doughnut Holes Mary Mattern has made a name for herself in the vegan world with her practical yet very delicious approach to recipes on her blog Nom Yourself. Who wants a recipe for doughnut holes that happens to be vegan? I know many of you do. Here she uses almond milk and a flaxseed mixture […]
Fruit Gazpacho
Fruit Gazpacho Photo by Alexandra Grablewski My mint plants are still running amok. Was thinking about crystallizing some and this Fruit Gazpacho came to mind. This is a great warm weather soup, with or without the crystallized mint! This dessert is a takeoff on the classic tomato-based chilled soup. Instead of the traditional additions of cucumbers, […]
Baked Apples
Baked Apples The earliest apples of the season are here and our thoughts are turning towards those kinds of homespun desserts that warm our souls. Baked apples are so easy to make and author Alana Chernila uses cider as her liquid, which is a technique I employed years ago when I did an article on […]
Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone Cream and Sorghum Drizzle
Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone Cream and Sorghum Drizzle If you have been visiting Bakepedia regularly this summer you know that sorghum syrup as a sweetener is one of our new things. It is one of those classic sweeteners that we only recently discovered and absolutely love. It is more than just sweet. It has […]
Black-and-White Malted Icebox Cake
Black-and-White Malted Icebox Cake Malt is one of those nostalgic flavors that evokes childhood. Anything “malted” to us has that comfort food aspect. Jean Sagendorph and Jessie Sheehan bring us this recipe as well as the Red Velvet Icebox Cake from their book, Icebox Cakes. In this cake they begin with a homemade vanilla wafer […]
