Gourmet Chick: Easy Apple Crumble. It is hard to think of a dessert more simple than Apple Crumble. Even my mother, who is an excellent cook but not much of a baker (sorry Mum) can produce a decent Apple crumble. Crumble was developed out of necessity in Britain during World War II. Strict rationing meant that the ingredients to make an actual apple pie were hard to come by and the time to make a pie was also lacking so improvisation led to the humble apple crumble. It is still a dessert you can turn to when time and ingredients are limited. To make things a little more special for a dinner party try serving the Apple Crumble in individual ramekins.

I was thinking about a cheese Danish, so I grated some Parmigiano-Reggiano into the batter. I was thinking about Gougères, so I added some freshly ground black pepper as well. I was thinking about a peach and basil sorbet I had one time, and decided that some of the sweet aromatic herb seemed perfectly appropriate. The result was one of the more interesting and delicious desserts I’ve eaten in a long time. The flavors are subtle, but identifiable. Note Regarding Self-Rising Flour: As we said in the regular peach cobbler post, it is recommended you go out and get some self-rising flour.
Ingredients: Two 10-oz ramekins with 2 tsp melted butter in each For the batter: 1/2 cup sugar 2/3 cup self-rising flour 2/3 cup milk 1 tbsp finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano pinch of black pepper. Make a Solid Foundation for a Special Valentine's Day with Hot Chocolate Stones. You have to be careful when making someone a homemade gift for Valentine's Day.

Grandma Kelly’s Good Old Fashioned Pancakes Really Measure Up. I was looking over a list of the all-time most popular recipes posted on Allrecipes last week, and there it was at number one…”Good Old Fashioned Pancakes.” Since I’ve never done a classic American pancake recipe video, despite countless food wishes for just that, I decided it was an omen that could not be ignored. This is from Dakota Kelly, who claims to have found it on a well-worn card in her Grandma's recipe book. Well, Grandma Kelly, if that is your real name, this recipe makes one fine stack of pancakes. Not too thick, not too thin, tender, light, buttery, and delicious. I’ve always used those exact same seven ingredients, as do 90% of all pancake makers, but like many “pros,” I simply throw everything in a bowl, and stir in enough milk, until the batter feels “right.”
So, as much as I hate to admit it, it was actually kind of fun to use an exact set of measurements, knowing I’ll now be able to repeat these results again and again. Ingredients for about 12 small pancakes: 1 egg.
