Bakery-style Blueberry Muffins
2023 – Good muffins, I made 13 standard sized from the recipe. I used about one-third whole wheat pastry flour. The muffin was very cake-like, perhaps add a bit of cornmeal next time? I used fat-free Greek yogurt and frozen berries.
Butternut Squash with Bacon
2022, I used 2 squash weighing 2.5 – 3 pounds each. Remove 3/4 of the bacon fat before adding onions, and use it for something else! Maple syrup not needed. This is delicious and easy.
Chocolate Pudding
Delicious … made 2/3 recipe with one egg. 2021
Buttermilk Biscuits
The best ever! Skip the honey in the recipe, it isn’t needed. Used half unbleached flour and half whole wheat pastry flour. Can up the percentage of whole wheat. Don’t use more than 1 tsp of kosher salt. I used a buttered 9″ cake pan and it was very good, a light brown and slightly crispy bottom to each biscuit. I did not use the honey and buttermilk on top.
Homemade Chicken Stock
Delicious … used stray chicken parts (backs, wings, etc.) and 2/3 eaten remains of a Costco chicken. 2021
PCC Tofu Egg Salad
Very good, makes way too much! 2021
Cardamom Brioche Buns
Delicious, 2020
Barefoot Contessa – Pear Clafoutis (2018)
Used plums. Custard too rich, try 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream. Used brandy.
Late Summer Berry Torte (2018)
Used plums; 1/2 tsp almond extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract; add orange zest? I tried whole wheat pastry flour (100%) and it was too heavy.
Chocolate zucchini cake (2017), which was adapted from this one
From Sylvia. Moist cake, good frosting.
