Pimento Cheese Spread. Baked lemon ricotta doughnuts - all the deliciousness of doughnuts without frying. I love doughnuts – as do many of you, I believe – but the idea of frying them... Not so much. I’m not a fried food kind of cook – I love eating it, not making it. That is why I was quite taken by this recipe: the doughnuts are baked instead of fried and they turned out beautiful, very tender, absolutely delicious. The filling is oh, so good – I ate several spoonfuls of it before actually assembling the doughnuts. And I’m not ashamed of that. :D Baked lemon ricotta doughnuts slightly adapted from the always beautiful and delicious Australian Gourmet Traveller Dough: 5 1/3 cups (746g) all purpose flour, plus extra for dusting ½ cup + 3 ½ tablespoons (142g) superfine sugar 2 ¼ teaspoons (7g /1 sachet) dried yeast finely grated zest of 2 lemons 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm whole milk, plus extra for brushing 1/3 cup (80ml) buttermilk* 2 large eggs, at room temperature 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted of lemon ricotta filling in centre of 24 rounds.

Posted by athenarose I came up with this last summer after struggling to try and find a way to fill small candy gem molds with isomalt. Its fast, cheap and easy when you need a quick gem and dont fill like working with hot sugar. candy gem moldsfood colorpaintbrushunflavored gelatin (I use knox) You need to make the gelatin, in order to do that mix 2 1/2 parts water to 1 part gelatin. I normally do 3TBSP gelatin (about a box and a half of Knox) to 7TBSP Water.

Next I heat up the gelatin a little at a time since we are using small molds you have to work faster, the warmer the gelatin is the easier it is to work with. Tutorial: How to Swirl Colored Icing for Cupcakes. I don’t know if the universe has it out for me or what, but I swear to you all, the second I start making a conscious effort to eat healthy, I’m suddenly inspired to make all sorts of naughty treats. And not just inspired, like, “Oh, I really, really, really want to make some caramel corn,” but my brain suddenly starts putting together evil ideas for things I’ve never even made. I guess deprivation is great for inspiration, right? I’m posting my scandalous little treat on Friday, but for today, I want to share a really cool tutorial. I kind of thought I was a genius until I told Sara what I was posting and she told me that she already has a tutorial all photographed. It’s kind of rough sharing a brain sometimes. Not only is this super impressive (my 6-year-old told me that he thought the way my cupcakes were “designed” was awesome), but it’s a fun and easy way to implement different colors when you’re decorating cupcakes.

Prepare yourself for oohs and aahs.
