Flaky Butter Crust

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:27:49 -0500

This easy recipe makes three single crusts. The dough can be frozen. It can be made in the mixer or the food processor (I make it in the food processor). I found it in one of my cookbooks - CookWise by Shirley O. Corriher. and decided to give it a try since I needed three crusts for Thanksgiving pies. I was very impressed with how easy the dough was to work with, and how the crusts baked up. They were fairly flaky and buttery tasting, and held up well with both pumpkin and pecan pie fillings (without getting soggy). This is my go-to pie crust recipe from now on. -- posted by PanNan

Fig Fluden

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:58:06 -0500

A fluden, which comes from fladni or fladen, "flat cake" in German, is just that, a flat, double-or often multilayered flaky pastry filled with poppy seeds, apples and raisins, or cheese. It was originally common to southern Germany and Alsace-Lorraine, later spreading east to Hungary, Romania, and other Eastern European countries. Often flavored with honey, it was eaten in the fall at Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot and is symbolic, like strudel, of an abundant yield. Figs were often eaten in Germany as the new fruit on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. -- posted by Celticevergreen

This recipe is a great substitute for regular ice cream and couldn't be easier to make. You can substitute any flavoring that suites your fancy. I've made chocolate from cocoa powder, strawberry, strawberry-banana, peach,and maple-walnut. The coconut flavor enhances the other flavors and isn't very noticable. There is more than enough sugar in the cream of coconut but a little honey might add a nice touch. -- posted by Chefro

Food Processor Chocolate Ice Cream

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:49:29 -0400

No ice-cream machine needed! I just made this tonight, it's really very simple with only stove top and food processor to make. The taste ranks right up there with dairy queen soft serve!! No need to go out and buy extra ingedients, this is made with just what you have in the house! Rich dark chocolate taste that any chocolate lover can appreciate. I can't wait to make this again with a few additions, chocolate chips, cookies, candy bars, the list is endless with this recipe. Next time I make this, I will chop the freezing mixture up during freezing time. I had quite to time trying to chop it up to put in the processor. -- posted by cherrycola

Instant Blender Strawberry Ice Cream

The hardest thing about this is waiting for it to freeze, this also works using other fruit such a blueberries, peaches etc but the fruit must be frozen when added to the blender, thaw just slightly and enough to chop the whole berries, cooking time is freezer time, use sweetened berries for this --- this may also be done in a food process with good results -- posted by KITTENCAL

Chocolate Sticky Date Pudding With Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:26:30 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Super Food Ideas, September 2008 (#1 Australian food magazine). Leftover cake and sauce can be saved for up to 3 days: store cake in airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerate sauce in an airtight container. Whiskey is an optional ingredient. I have tried to give U.S. equivalents of measurements. Double cream is the name in Britain for a very rich cream containing 48% butterfat. Whipping cream in this country, by contrast, contains between 30% and 40% butterfat. Single cream in Britain is comparable to American half and half (and may also be called pouring cream), with between 10% and 12% fat. I am guessing that spreadable mascarpone will yield a similar rich creamy taste to finish off this dessert. -- posted by KateL

Scandinavian Style Almond Paste

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:40:59 -0400

This is a wonderful almond paste to use in recipes like scones, pizzelles, almond cookies, and other pastries but is optimal for those itty bitty Danish almond cakes. I got this from a cooking magazine a few years ago. My version calls for 2 tbsp butter but you might want to up it to 3 if you find that it's not a good consistency or almond-to-butter ratio. If you don't have almond extract at hand (because you're like me and are too poor and/or lazy to buy a bottle), vanilla extract will work too. Also you need a food processor for this! -- posted by the80srule

This easy cobbler recipe is from BBC Good Food magazine. The syrup tends to boil over while baking so put a cookie sheet underneath to catch the drips! -- posted by Irmgard

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Soy Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Delicious Pumpkin Pie!

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:14:19 -0500

I developed this recipe because I was unable to find a tasty pumpkin pie recipe that was all of the above. This pie is SO good! Just like real pumpkin pie. Let me warn you that this pie is a no bake, so it has a lighter texture. Also, preferably you will need a high speed blender. -- posted by Chef #629158

Spice-Kissed Pumpkin Pie

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:51:29 -0500

I usually don't like pumpkin pie but I had to try this one and I loved it. It's different with the hazelnuts and coconut milk. From the Heidi of the blog 101cookbooks. I didn't do the spice blend and I used only cinnamon. I used a frozen tenderflake crust and I got too much filling and had to put in ramekins. -- posted by Boomette
