Crumpets pour le brunch de dimanche Si le petit déjeuner et un de vos repas préféré, vous êtes aussi sans doute un(e) adepte des brunchs. Le brunch c’est une sorte de petit déjeuner tardif, contraction de breakfast (petit déjeuner) et lunch (déjeuner), qui est parfait pour le week-end. Et comme on a le temps, on peut préparer de délicieuses petites choses qu’on a pas le temps de faire la semaine, et qui ont vraiment leur place ici, comme les pancakes, les muffins, les œufs brouillés et de bonnes salades de fruits frais. C’est aussi l’occasion de découvrir d’autres spécialités anglo-saxonnes parfaites pour le Brunch, comme les crumpets. C’est plus épais que des pancakes, mais avec une texture plus aérée. J’adore les regarder cuire et les voir buller dans la poêle. Ingrédients (6 personnes) 38 cl de lait 1 cuillère à soupe de sucre en poudre 7 g de levure de boulanger + 1/2 cuillère à café de bicarbonate de soude 380 g de farine 20 cl d’eau 1 pincée de sel 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Oreo Cookies and Cream Cookies Willpower is not merely a word; it is the underlying force that drives human action and reaction. Willpower is both the power to suppress and the power to incite. Willpower, or lack thereof, is smothering my ability to review for final exams. It’s the reason I woke up at 10:30 this fine Saturday morning. It’s the reason there’s a pile of dishes next to the sink, begging to be cleaned. Despite the limits of willpower, it’s also why I love to run. Certainly, willpower has an endless number of applications to everyday life. Sure, one cookie is fine. But beyond the threshold of three is a point of no return, my friends. Or in this case, butter and crushed Oreos. But, then again, doesn’t skidding perilously along plastic coated with softened butter, mushed white frosting, and chocolate wafer crumbs sound like fun? Then come ride the Oreo cookie slip-and-slide. Cookies and Cream Cookies Yield: about 14 medium cookies
Cinnamon & Sugar Crackers Let’s talk my favorite holiday subject: presents!! Look, I know I’m supposed to act all adult-like and humble and and be like, “Me? Nah…I don’t need a present. Don’t get me a present. But can we be honest? I like that someone got in their car, went somewhere, picked something out just for me. If someone baked me something, put it in a glass jar, learned how to make a pom-pom (just for me!) The only thing better than getting presents (maybe?) The art of gift-giving is one of my all-time favorite things ever. A few years ago, when I worked at a production company, the executives learned of my strange talent and assigned me the challenge to find the weirdest most interesting, lavish gifts for our high-profile, celebrity clients. I have to say that shopping for celebrities with a near limitless budget was one of my greatest memories at that job. Since I’m on a serious budget, like, all the time due to my shoe habit, I say we bake gifts. Kinda like a snickerdoodle cracker or something. P.S. 1.
World Peace Cookies Originally dubbed Korova Cookies by French pastry chef Pierre Hermé, these mega-chocolaty delights were re-Christened World Peace Cookies after Dorie Greenspan’s refreshingly optimistic neighbor proclaimed that “A dose of Pierre’s cookies is all that is needed to ensure planetary peace and happiness.” What’s most notable about these petite sweets is their sandy-texture and intriguingly salty notes. World peace is an awfully tall order, but spreading satisfied smiles is a good start. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1 stick plus 3 tablespoons (11 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature2/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar1/4 cup sugar1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt1 teaspoon vanilla extract5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chips, or a generous 3/4 cup store-bought mini chocolate chips Sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together. Turn off the mixer. Makes about 36 cookies.
Cranberry and Pecan Oatmeal Cookies Oatmeal Cookies It’s always nice to get together with friends and just sit and chat over a steaming cup of tea or coffee. But in Sweden, if Mr. Svensson told his wife “I invited the Eriksens for coffee” his wife would throw a fit. Nordisk Museum explantion You see, it is customary and expected that the host bakes no less than seven* different kinds of cookies and pastries all freshly made and artfully arranged before the guests arrive. Coffee party display at the Nordisk Museum This should be undertaken only by professional pastries chefs who have ovens as large as garages. If this is for coffee, what about dinner parties, you ask? I actually forgot to photograph the bird display, but it exists, it can be seen in the upper right corner First, you have to go out and shoot a goose, stuff it, shoot another goose, cook it for a couple of hours and display it magnificently between the propped wings of the stuffed bird (wonder what the Vikings would have thought of that). Bake about 10 minutes.
Minty Cool Meltaway Cookies I had my first McDonald's Shamrock Shake of the season yesterday and it inspired me to make Mint Meltaways. Together, the vanilla and peppermint make a cool duo in this refreshing, minty cookie.

Drop dough by the teaspoonful on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Cinnamon circles – just like a cinnamon tea cake only crunchy Cinnamon circles Cinnamon tea cake was one of the first things I ever baked. Mum says that I could make it on my own (of course with adult supervision) from the age of four, which I find a little hard to believe but I like to think of my 4-year-old-self baking away in the kitchen without a care in the world. I still love it and it’s one of the only recipes I know by heart and can whip up without even thinking about it. I can remember in year 12 on a Sunday afternoon I used to bake myself a tea cake for school morning tea for the week. I think learning to love this recipe from such a young age might have given me a little bit of an addiction to anything with cinnamon in it. Ingredients Butter and sugar Start by beating the butter and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer. Vanilla When the butter and sugar are nice and creamy, add the vanilla and mix it through. Flour and milk Take the bowl off the stand and sift in the flour and then pour in the milk.
