Strange (But Useful) Human Tricks | Can You Believe This? Red Velvet Crêpes. I rolled my eyes at the red velvet cake trend, but now I can’t get enough. I’ll make any excuse to have ‘cake’ for breakfast– here’s my take on a classic. Red Velvet Crepes (Makes about 24, 8″ crepes) Ingredients: – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 3 tablespoons sugar - 2 cups butter milk - 1 1/4 cup whole or lowfat milk - 1 large egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted - 1 tablespoon red food color gel - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + 2 tablespoons cooking oil (for pan) *Update: Because the buttermilk lends to the acidity of this batter, do not substitute the baking soda for extra baking powder.
If you add more baking powder, and omit the baking soda, you’ll end up with a heavy and dense crepe. In order to activate the baking soda, it requires an acidic substance, which the buttermilk provides. Directions: For the Mascarpone Filling:1. For Chocolate Ganche Sauce1. 2. 3. 4.

I came back and found a parcel containing some Tate & Lyle’s Fairtrade cane sugars, very kindly sent to me by Michael. Tate & Lyle has committed to making its entire retail range 100% Fairtrade and you can get most of their sugars in Waitrose and The Co-op and they are just starting to sell their Fairtrade granulated sugar in Tesco. Do check out Tate and Lyle's website for their fantastic range of sugars. I've been using Tate & Lyle's sugar (mainly caster and granulated) for quite sometime now and here's a fantastic cheesecake recipe that's made with their caster sugar - a chocolate crusted cheesecake served with salted butter caramel sauce.
Salted Butter Caramel Sauce. Step-by-Step: Amazing Spiced Chai Concentrate – Tasty Kitchen Blog. Warm spices, strong tea and steamed milk swirling around in my tummy make chai lattes a favorite during the winter months. It warms me from the inside out in a way that puts coffee and tea to shame. Unfortunately, the chai concentrate from certain coffee chains is too sweet. But there is something better. It never occurred to me to make my own chai.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need: cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, star anise, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg, orange zest, tea bags, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Start by bringing 4 1/2 cups water to the boil on the stove. Then you need some orange zest. The recipe says to use a piece of ginger. Once the water has come to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags. Then add your cinnamon sticks (we only add two—it just looks like we’re using four because we broke them in half). Then add your star anise and seven cardamom pods. Add sugar, vanilla and honey and then let this steep for 15-20 minutes.

Chocolate-covered cherry lambic float | Girlson.Org. Chocolate-covered cherry lambic float Posted on 09 August 2010 by Melanie Kramer You may have heard the term “food porn”? For this concoction we need a new term. Maybe “food/beer porn”? It’s so luscious we aren’t sure it would fit anywhere else. We saw the idea for an ice cream Lambic Float on theKitchn and it looked delicious, but we thought we would take this a step further and go all-out with decadent sweetness.
Lambic’s are available in raspberry, peach, cherry and black currant. The combination was sweet and sour and delicious and we will be making this sweet treat again soon. Cherry Lambic beer Vanilla bean ice cream Cherries Hershey’s shell topping Chill the glass (use a wide-mouth glass for better scooping) in the freezer, and scoop in one or two scoops of ice cream. Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe. Print Our tour of Brazil continues. After posting the moqueca recipe, several of you asked if I had a recipe for Pão de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread, sort of like a chewy cheese puff made with tapioca flour. As a matter of fact, I do. My friend Bill gave me this recipe years ago, a favorite from his Brazilian wife Silvia. I’ve made it several times, each time with different cheeses. Talk about addictive!
I’ve cut Bill’s original recipe down to just a third, because if I actually made a full batch (48) I could conceivably eat them all. There are several ways to make Pão de Queijo. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make a big batch of batter and just store it in the refrigerator (for up to a week), pouring out just as many mini-muffins as you want to eat. The only weird ingredient is tapioca flour. The recipe as presented is fairly basic. Ingredients Special equipment recommended: One or two mini muffin tins. Method Hide Photos 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Hello! Individual Blueberry Grunts. Yeah, I’d never heard of a blueberry grunt, either. Until I became friends with Sandy. Every since we became friends, I couldn’t use the word “blueberry” without her saying “Mmmm, blueberry grunt…” eyes half-closed and smiling. I knew it was one of her favorite desserts, but I couldn’t bring myself to make something called a grunt.
Until, that is, I had four cups freshly picked blueberries. A grunt is in the cobbler family, and it’s a traditional East Coast maritime dessert. It’s perfect for people who might want something like a pie, but are too lazy make an actual pie. So that means it’s perfect for me! Blueberry is a popular flavor for grunts, but I imagine you can use pretty much any berry or fruit. Recipes for grunts are all pretty standard, I adapted and veganized this simple recipe. Blueberry Grunts Makes four individual grunts, or one large Simple Biscuits 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour 4 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 3 Tbs Earth Balance Margarine, or veg. shortening 3/4-1 Cup Soymilk.
A Tasty Recipe: My Granny’s Chocolate Cobbler – Tasty Kitchen Blog. This week, Ree’s in Orlando, ditching the boots for a pair of flip flops. Right now, she’s either lost in Wally World, hiding in the bathroom, or clutching the bars of some insane ride and crying for her mommy. So we have another special guest filling in for this week’s Tasty Recipe post!
Today, missamy takes over with a decadent chocolate dessert that looks almost too good to be true. If you remember Amy from her feature some months back, then you know you’re in for a wild and delicious ride. It’s all yours, Amy! When I was invited to guest post here I was filled with glee and honored to have been asked to fulfill such a task. So when I saw this recipe, My Granny’s Chocolate Cobbler submitted by Tasty Kitchen member Susan Hawkins, I knew I had to give it a try.
This cobbler reminds of a Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, like the one Ree once shared. The ingredients are simple. Begin with the flour in a mixing bowl. Okay, back to the recipe. Combine well until you have a smooth batter. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough + Cupcake = The BEST Cupcake. Ever. Recipe. Cheesecake Bars. I was in the mood for something cold and lip-smackingly sweet.
Something I could sink my teeth into. Something to maintain my weight. So I made this treat with a few of my favorite things. Cheesecake. Chocolate. And these cookies. If you ever fly Delta, then you’ve probably had them before. They’re a crunchy, no-frills, sans chocolate type of cookie. So I thought they would be great to use for the cheesecake crust. Throw the cookies into a food processor and chop them up into beautiful golden brown cookie powder.
About 1 1/2 cups worth. Then add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Don’t you love how packed brown sugar looks? To make the crust, mix the cookie crumbs and brown sugar together. Mix up the cheescake ingredients and pour it on the crust. Oh yeah! Then bake it at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes. And let it cool. And try not to eat it. Then whip up some chocolate ganache to pour on top. Oh yeah. Spread the chocolate evenly on top of the cheesecake and then refrigerate overnight. Guinness Chocolate Pudding or "Chocolate Guinness Goodness" Everywhere I look food bloggers are preparing celebratory dishes for St. Patrick's day in the same way, with Guinness! While I claim to love everything, (it's a growing problem) I have to say that extra dark stout beers are not high on the list. The last dark beer I tried was on the aforementioned (previous post) Scotland trip, and I didn't even drink half of what was given to me.
It was good, but so filling! Afterward, I felt like I had eaten a large, yeasty piece of bread. My husband on the other hand, likes them just fine. When I saw this recipe for chocolate pudding made with Guinness I knew it would be something we both could appreciate. The recipe comes from epicurious.com. The finished dessert mimics a frothy pint of stout. I like the ease and simplicity of this recipe. The cream and stout are cooked together in a sauce pan until slightly bubbly, but not boiling. The chopped dark chocolate is then added to the hot cream and stout mixture.
