Red Velvet Brownies - freutcake. This weekend I temporarily lost my baking mojo. I burnt a batch of caramel, ruined shortbread and my pizza dough was a disaster. What was happening? Why did my favorite past time turn on me? …Sunday night rolled around and I felt the need to redeem myself with one last recipe for Red Velvet Cream Cheese brownies.

Fluffy Pancakes | Blogger For Hire. This pancake recipe is the result of mixing and matching different recipes from many different sources. It is the result of trying and failing so many times, that I almost declared pancakes as the one breakfast recipe I couldn’t master.

But I persisted, and this recipe is perfect – as perfect as a pancakes recipe can be, because making pancakes does involve frying, and frying is something that each of us needs to play with. It changes depending on your type of stove (gas or electric), on how hot the skillet is, and on how evenly hot you manage to keep it while frying multiple batches. But the instructions here are as close as it gets to “perfect,” and the result? Truly fluffy, puffy pancakes that are never heavy or dense and that are flavored with a pleasant vanilla aroma and taste.

This recipe makes 16-18 pancakes. Fluffy Pancakes Makes 16-18 pancakes. Dry Ingredients 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1.5 tablespoons baking powder (make sure it’s fresh) Directions 1. Parisian strawberry tartlets. Once I started making an effort to eat seasonally, I realized that apples were my best bet for a large part of the year. By the end of winter, I’m impatient for strawberries to kick off the farmer’s market season. I try to avoid apples in the spring and summer, because it’s nice to take a break when I can, and then I get to look forward to them in the fall. So I didn’t want to make the apple version of this dessert. Most of the other fruits that Dorie recommends are stone fruits that won’t be in season for a month or so. I thought that strawberry mini-tarts would work though. This recipe is very easy. I made even miniaturer tarts too, each topped with a single raspberry, but those didn’t work quite as well.

The tarts were great. Jessica has posted the recipe for this easy, tasty, impressive dessert that she chose for Tuesdays with Dorie. One year ago: Pita Bread. Our Small Hours: Meatloaf Cupcakes.

I believe it was a year or two ago, before I started my little blog, that I first heard of Hi-hat Cupcakes.

I then found a recipe for them on Martha Stewart's site. I then searched a bit more and found quite a few people had terrible issues with the recipe on that site (which doesn't surprise me, as the recipes there tend to be hit and miss) and had worked out their own way of making them from trial and error. I set the idea to make them aside and it got buried in my ever churning thought process. Hi-hats seem to have broken through to the surface of my brain with perfect timing.

Here's an overview of what you'll need to make perfect bagels at home. Ingredients Flour Unbleached bread flour is readily available (General Mills, Pillsbury, King Arthur Flour, Bob's Red Mill, and Hodgson Mill are good brands) and great for home bagel making. You can substitute whole-grain flour, such as whole wheat, rye, spelt, or multigrain, for an equal amount of bread flour, if you increase the water by about 1 tablespoon for every ounce (or 1/4 cup) of whole-grain flour used. To make rye or pumpernickel bagels use one quarter rye flour and three quarters bread flour, along with 2 tablespoons molasses; caraway seeds are optional. Yeast The recipe included here calls for instant yeast, not active dry yeast, but it still needs to be fully dissolved in lukewarm water before being used.

I don’t know about you, but I always tend to think that recipes that have been with you for a long time are kind of old friends. The ones you know inside out and could make even woken up in the middle of the night, or so I thought. This chocolate mousse recipe is the one I’ve been making for years. Nicolas Boussin, who was in 2000 named the best pastry chef of France, developed this recipe for Grand Marnier, and I since I’ve tried it first time, I’ve never looked at any other chocolate mousse recipe ever again.

Naturally, when I set out on this chocolate mousse marathon, I had secretly hoped, that the recipe I always use will win. What I didn’t expect however, was that due to the extensive amount of cooking that weekend my memory will start slipping and I will start forgetting things. What was surprising in the end, that even without butter this recipe scored very high with judges. Nicolas Boussin chocolate mousse Author: Nicolas Boussin Recipe type: dessert Serves: 6-8. Mac and Cheese Cups. Share this image Share It Pin It When I first graduated from college, and was living in a dreary little apartment, mac and cheese was one of my few specialties.

Granted it was straight from a box, but it was one of those meals that made me feel like I was home. I shared a gussied up truffle version a couple of years back (here), and since the Academy Awards are just days away, I thought I'd make it more party-friendly. Strawberry Torte.
