TWD - Buttermilk-Molasses Quick Bread

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe  is Buttermilk-Molasses Quick Bread.

In my case, it’s actually Soured Milk-Maple Syrup Quick Bread. 

 This is a savoury quick bread, containing spices such as star anise and fennel.

It also contains an array of flours, including rye flour and whole wheat flour.

This quick bread was good served sliced with lashings of butter.

TWD - Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies. There is no actual caramel in these cookies - just caramelised sugar and butter with walnuts and chocolate chunks.

These cookies are baked in a muffin tin after being cut from a dough log, to help give them a round shape.

They were tasty cookies, and if you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies, you will likely like these.

TWD - Alsatian-Style Blueberry Tart

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Alsation-Style Blueberry Tart. A shortcrust pastry shell houses blueberries and a creamy custard.

It’s as delicious as it sounds. To see what everyone else made this week and their thoughts on it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

TWD - Parfait-Layered Vacherin

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Parfait-Layered Vacherin. This is a frozen dessert featuring layers of creamy parfait and meringue, topped with caramel sauce and toasted almonds.

Although I would have preferred to buy my meringues and caramel sauce, I couldn’t buy either at my local shops, so I had to make them.

I made a third of the recipe to get two single serve vacherins. 

This dessert was delicious, but unless I could buy the meringues and caramel sauce, I wouldn’t make it again.

TWD - Lemony Yoghurt Muffins

 

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Lemony Yoghurt Muffins.

This recipe is exactly what it says on the tin. Dorie encourages add ins, so I added some chopped cherries that I had frozen to preserve them when I went on holidays. 

What’s not to like about a good old fashioned uffin. The citrus flavour is amped up by rubbing the zest into the sugar before adding to the mixture.

TWD - Strawberry-Rhubarb Squares

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Strawberry-Rhubarb Squares. It’s summer in the US, so this recipe is a great way to showcase summer fruit. It’s winter here, so I am enjoying summer vicariously through baking.

 This is a delicious cake which has a high proportion of fruit to cake. The fruit is not sugared so its tartness contrasts with the sweet honey and buttermilk cake.

I found the batter challenging to spread over the recommended 9” pan - it is only a thin layer and it takes quite a bit of work to make it cover the pan.

This cake was delicious served with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.

TWD - Jelly Roll

 This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Jelly Roll.  It comprises a light sponge, rolled when still hot out of the oven, then once cooled, filled with ostensibly jelly.

I rebelled and filled my half recipe sponge roll with lemon curd. I am going to serve it for dessert, warmed, with custard. Yum!
