I’ve been hearing about this recipe for years now, so it was a delight to finally get to try it from the source. It is intended to be a low carb recipe- its author maintains a low-carb regimen- but now that I’ve published it here, there is apparently some contention over whether or [...]

English Muffins
Posted in afternoon tea, baked goods, recipes on Jun 13th, 2010
[updated 8/8/2010: edited, and now with photos!]
It took me a while to actually follow through on the comment from this post, but I finally made my own English muffins.
The dough for English muffins is softer and stickier than your usual bread dough. During the second rise, you form the muffins and let it rest on [...]
Orange-Almond Polenta Cake
Posted in baked goods, recipes on Mar 28th, 2010
This is a delightfully light and fluffy cake with the pleasant taste of oranges and a hint of almonds. It’s also super-easy to make. I am slightly disappointed that it doesn’t have the consistency of baked polenta– it has more of a cornbread consistency, but lighter. I’m sure I could tweak the recipe to make [...]
Pepperoni Bread
Posted in appetizers, baked goods, recipes on Dec 21st, 2009
I had the urge to bake cookies for the holiday party at work, but was afraid other staff members would feel the same way and then there would be a glut of cookies. Not that I think that’s a bad thing, mind you, but in the interest of providing a more balanced set of foods [...]
Kumquat Nut Bread
Posted in baked goods, recipes on May 3rd, 2009
Lipby and I went to Florida this past winter to visit his parents. We arrived, coincidentally enough, during the Kumquat Festival, and we just had to go. We all took a shuttle bus into Dade City, and were treated to kumquats, whole and in various preparations. Lipz and I bought a huge box of meiwa [...]
Maple Pecan Pie
Posted in baked goods, breakfasts, desserts on Feb 14th, 2009
It’s no secret: I like pie. So when my friend Tom suggested creating a new holiday, International Pie for Breakfast Day, I enthusiastically told him I’d be willing to participate.
I asked Lipby what his favorite pie is, and he said pecan. I found a lovely recipe on Epicurious for a Maple Pecan Pie. The maple [...]
Cheddar Dill Beer Bread
Posted in baked goods, recipes on Jan 26th, 2009
We had lots of bottles of beer leftover from our last get-together. Since I can’t really drink beer anymore (more on this later), I figured I’d try to cook with some of it.
I’ve made beer bread in the past. I don’t recommend using a dark beer like a stout or a porter, as the beer [...]
Pulla
Posted in Christmas, afternoon tea, baked goods, recipes on Dec 23rd, 2008
I usually make cookies for the holidays. I don’t know why, but this year, I didn’t feel like making the multitudes that I usually do.
I saw photos of Pulla last year on Tastespotting, and thought to myself, “I’ll make those for next year.” So, I’m giving this Finnish bread to Lipby’s family this year instead [...]
Lussebullar – St. Lucia Buns
Posted in Southern, afternoon tea, baked goods, desserts, holiday, recipes on Nov 23rd, 2008
(photos by Quelconque)
Quelconque made these buns last year, and I was so enchanted by them that I had asked him for the recipe. They’re traditionally served on December 13th, which is the Saint’s day, but they look so delicious and perfect for cold days that you may consider making them earlier!
**********
I usually think that the [...]
What can I say but mmm, pie. Some people will contend that this is better than pumpkin pie. You be the judge.
I admit to having trouble with crusts. I can’t seem to get them to roll nicely without sticking to the surface. Any thoughts on this? Should I chill the dough longer than [...]
