TWD - BAKING WITH DORIE - Miso Maple Loaf

-



Dorie Greenspan’s newest book is here and we made Miso Maple Loaf as our first recipe.  It is so exciting to be baking along with so many that were in the original Dorie group back in 2008.  

We do not publish the recipe out of respect for Dorie.  You can order the book from Amazon and have all her wonderful new recipes handy!  The ingredients for this cake are flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, fine sea salt, orange zest, butter, white miso, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, and orange marmalade (optional).  

Dorie gives very good instruction in her books.  I wanted so badly for my first recipe to come out perfectly.  And it should have.  Unfortunately, everything was going well until it broke in half coming out of the pan.  Accidents happen, even in baking, but it was a big disappointment for me.  I will make this again soon and next time it will be perfect!

I would have topped it with the glaze, but after it broke, I did not see how glazing would help it. I will tell you however, it is very delicious!  It cooked perfectly and was beautiful in the pan.  We will enjoy it for sure!  We like a little snack each night while watching our favorite tv shows and this will be perfect for us.  It has a delicious orange flavor and makes your house smell divine while it is baking!  It would also be delicious for breakfast. 

If you would like to join in, just make it, bake it, and leave a link to your post at the Tuesdays with Dorie website:  click here.

If you hadn't said that it broke, I would not have even noticed! Looks lovely!

Your loaf is lovely with the citrus slices on top. Just enough to jazz it up. Great that we are with TWD again.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-
Image
This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
