Egg custard. How to make homemade custard | Step by Step Recipe | Unodedos.com © Pamela Rodriguez. Uno de Dos La receta Las natillas caseras con un clásico en todas las casas y personalmente me parecen una forma muy fácil para aprovechar yemas de huevo. Si habitualmente hacemos recetas de repostería puede ser frecuente que nos encontremos con excedentes de claras o yemas. Si tengo claras extras, o bien las congelo o hago bizcocho, merengue…Y si lo que me sobran son yemas, recurro a las clásicas natillas de huevo. Las natillas de huevo nos gustan mucho, pero siempre podemos darle un “toque” diferente haciéndolas de otro sabores simplemente añadiendo un ingrediente extra: natillas de chocolate, natillas de caramelo, natillas aromatizadas… La proporción de huevos-leche variará según la textura que nos guste de la natilla. El acompañamiento esta vez de nuestras natillas ha sido una “galleta” de chocolate hecha con el molde para bombón “Tea Time” de la gama Easy Choc de Silikomart.

Earl Grey Tea Cookies, Take Two « I'll Have What She's Having First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who left a comment on my last post. My family has gone through a tough time lately, and although I’d prefer not to get into the details here, the virtual hugs are very much appreciated. Secondly, I’d like to apologize to all my subscribers and followers for hitting “publish” instead of “preview” earlier today. This was the second time I’ve made that mistake, and I’m hoping I’ll never do it again. I hope having a broken link in your reader wasn’t too much of an annoyance. Now onto the cookies. The cookies were perfectly crisp and very lightly flavoured with Earl Grey. Earl Grey Tea Cookies Makes about 60 cookies 2 cups all purpose flour2 tbsp finely ground tea (tea can be ground in a spice grinder or mini food processor, use the best quality you can afford as cheaper teas have less flavour)1/2 tsp salt1 cup unsalted butter, softened1/2 cup powdered sugar1 tbsp finely grated orange zest (optional)In a small bowl mix the flour, tea and salt together.
Earl Grey Tea Infused Chocolate Ice Cream - Sage Recipes After making three batches of Italian buttercream last week, I had quite a few egg yolks left over. With cream and milk also in my refrigerator, homemade ice cream was the obvious choice, but I was a little hesitant… For three months, I was in charge of making desserts for the restaurant at culinary school. I made banana ice cream and cherry ice cream every week! After this experience, I never wanted to make it again! With all the ingredients perfectly lined up, I took it as a sign and felt like I had to once again return to my role as ice cream maker. I start by making a simple ice cream base (milk, cream, and sugar), then add coco powder and infuse the mixture with earl grey tea. There is nothing like homemade ice cream. I’m glad I made ice cream again! Earl Grey Tea Infused Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe Ingredients 2 cups cream2 cups milk1 cup sugar (split into 1/2 cups)1/2 cup unsweetened coco powder1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract2 earl grey tea bags10 egg yolkspinch of kosher salt 1. 2. 3.
Brown Sugar Casted Chocolates Brown sugar is the perfect medium for casting poured chocolate in a homemade mold. This simple project will set your imagination wild! Press any convex object of choice firmly into packed brown sugar, pour melted chocolate chips into the mold and wait for it to set up. You can flavor your chocolate with spices, citrus zest- or even salt and pepper! I am picturing chess pieces, stones, vintage buttons, little hands and feet...all in different shades of chocolate... This is a fun project for kids- especially since it takes very little set up (or clean up) and there's not a lot of waiting around to see your results. I love projects that aren't tedious and don't have a lot invested so there's not that fear of a failed product. Brown Sugar Casted Chocolates: You can find a blurb about this technique in the amazing SprinkleBakes book (highly recommended!) The brown sugar will create a grainy texture on the surface of your chocolates. Fill a bowl or pan with an inch or two of brown sugar.
Sweetheart Cherry Pies — Cake Student Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that have become a bit too commercialized I think. I like to keep this holiday simple… so I helped my son make and mail valentine’s cards & bake something special. (UPDATE: Sweetheart chocolate chip cookies with love messages for this year!) When I checked out the Kitchen Play February menu, I knew exactly which recipe I would tackle. Use your favorite pie dough. Update: I have been asked where I got my heart-shaped cookie cutter; it’s actually an egg mold! Pit and chop about a handful of fresh sweet cherries. Fill with Ricotta Cheese, and the chopped cherries. Serve for breakfast, dessert, or anytime in between.

Japanese Cheesecake There are cakes which look absolutely stunning and gorgeous on the outside, but when it comes to the taste, it disappoints, and you just wished that it tasted as good as it looks. I've had a lot of those experiences, and in fact, I think I've made a few of cakes like that myself! What I love about a good Japanese cheesecake is that while in appearance it resembles a humble (and perhaps, plain or boring?) sponge cake, but the minute you put it into your mouth, you want to close your eyes and go 'hmmmmmmmmmmmmm'. We all go through phases, don't we?! Right out of the oven...hmmmmm.

Crêpes Cake with Chocolate Meringue Frosting This cake is insane! I love it. But first, let me set it up. I’m a wuss. They say men have a lower threshold for pain. I first came across the idea of making a cake out of crêpes back in 2005 while reading a copy of House Beautiful (yes, House Beautiful. As I stood in my kitchen I was excited. So, as I thought about what I do for my next blog entry, I found myself debating whether I should reattempt what has come to be known as The Great Crêpes Cake Disaster of 2005. Devil Figure: He can’t do it. Angel Figure: Yeah, that was a while ago. Devil Figure: Ok, don’t blame me if he embarrasses himself and us. With doubt bouncing around in my head, I decided to try it again. With a plan in hand I set out to make ‘The Great Crêpes Cake Disaster of 2005. The cake has a rich and chocolaty flavor (the icing alone, makes it a dream). The second little surprise comes from the first bite. In my humble opinion, this cake is just a beautiful marriage of flavors and textures. I hope you enjoy it! 4 eggs
Brown Sugar Cookies with Sea Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Sigh. There are times that I wish I could just do things over again. Like the fact that I should have embraced my curly hair looooooooooong before I actually did. All of those bad yearbook photos and my poor, poor curling iron – it never expected to be used as a straightener. I also would probably not have pierced my bellybutton. I think I wore that thing for 2 years, got sick of it and just took it out. I would have embraced my love of Dave Matthews Band and Pat Green earlier than when I was in college. Or what about the time that punched my sister and sent her to the hospital? I probably would have gone to culinary school when I still lived in Dallas. I would have married Nate earlier than I did. Oh, and another thing – I decided that I simply must try again to make some cookies that I was going to make for you guys. I did them over and I’m so glad that I did because WOWZAH. For the cookies: mix together the butter and sugar until incorporated.

How to Make a Fondant Asparagus Cake {a Tutorial} This post makes me giggle. Well, not the actual post, since I haven’t written it yet, but the fact that I am still inflicting innocent and unsuspecting passersby with what seems to be the endless life of the Asparagus Cake–the trompe l’oeil cake I made as, really, just a joke for Grant’s sister, Mary, or as we call her, Mar. When I initially shared this crazy cake idea back when I first started this blog just over a year ago, and then again when I recreated and revisited it (above) this past May, I never really expected that anyone else would want (or have a good reason) to make this cake themselves, which is why I didn’t include tutorials in either of those posts. Then, something unexpected happened: I began getting emails from readers asking me for a tutorial and explaining that they indeed have the perfect reason to make this cake. This makes me very happy! I love that some of you actually have reasons to make one, and that some of you simply want to. Here we go (and wheee!) Method
