Tuesdays With Dorie – Sour Cream Pumpkin Tart
I’ve had enough pumpkin pie over the past week (including one of Dorie’s caramel pumpkin pies, made by yours truly), so I decided to do this in tart form. The tart was delicious and the filling got rave reviews from coworkers. Because I used a tart shell, I had some filling left over, so I [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Pumpkin Muffins, again
As is tradition on Thanksgiving week, TWD has gone into a food coma and left its members with a “rewind” option. I had a breakfast function at work, and these muffins hit the spot seasonally, so I went with these. Next week, the two-per-week mania continues.
Tuesdays With Dorie – Bittersweet Brownies and Alsatian Apple Tart
These brownies were a bit messy – I probably could have stood to cook them a little bit longer – but they were also a big hit. My chocolate-fiend friend told me that these are the best brownies she’s ever had. Please also note, she said the same thing about Dorie’s Classic Brownies a few [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Mini Madeleines and Butternut Squash Pie
So the mini madeleines…did not turn out so well. First of all, mini madeleine pans do not exist in my area so I used a full-sized madeleine pan. I baked these for only a portion of the bake time (5 min) and when I came out to check, they were already scorched. Since Tuesdays with [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Honey Nut Scones and Far Breton
The end is nigh. The taskmasters at Tuesdays With Dorie are hellbent on getting the cookbook finished in December, and so we are seeing some “double-recipe weeks” scattered in here. First up: honey nut scones. Except, I forgot to put the nuts in. Honey scones. They were a bit dry plain, but I served them [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – A Fig Cake for Fall (with Plums!)
Our supermarket didn’t have figs. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fig un-Newtoned. So this is it – plums. I also replaced the wine in the recipe w/ grape juice because we don’t do alkeyhall. Any questions?
Tuesdays With Dorie – Ginger-Jazzed Brownies
Hello everybody. These are the ginger brownies. They taste real good. It is late. Good night.
Tuesdays With Dorie – Basic Biscuits
These are Dorie’s basic biscuits. They are quite simple to throw together, and…uh…rustic to look at. But they taste great. These things are just waiting for sausage and an egg – if I hadn’t already had dinner for the night, I would have made seven biscuit sandwiches, leaving one lone biscuit to go stale somewhere. [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Apple Nut Muffin Cake
This is the apple nut muffin cake. It is like an apple nut muffin, but baked in a cake pan. It is good. Please wonder at the knife rack behind the cake. That is all.
Tuesdays With Dorie – Flip Over Plum Cake
Another ugly dessert, although this time seemingly by design. Tasted great though, and that’s all that matters. Looking forward to having some at work tomorrow.
