TWD/BWD: Rewind! One-Bite Cinnamon Puffs

 

 

Way back in February 2020, the group decided to bake One-Bite Cinnamon Puffs. I was so overwhelmed at the thought of making 100 of these, that I passed.

Recently, after studying the recipe, I decided to give them a try, halving the recipe, and making two-bite puffs.  I ended up with a little over 20 puffs, which was much more manageable.  They turned out beautifully, and every one was hollow on the inside.  (Future possibility of a pastry cream filling.)  The only down side was that they disappeared almost immediately!  Mea culpa.

 Another successful recipe from Baking with Dorie.

TWD/BWD: Chunky Lemon Cornmeal Cake

 

For my second January bake from Baking with Dorie, I made the Chunky Lemon Cornmeal Cake, using fresh lemons from my backyard tree.  This is a delicious lemon cake with a subtle crunch from the cornmeal and extra citrus flavor from the zest and sumac.  My favorite bites -- the bits of cut-up lemon scattered throughout the cake itself.  Next time, I will definitely add more of those!

TWD/BWD: Spinach-Mozzarella Pie with Parm Crumble

 

For the first Tuesdays with Dorie challenge of 2024, I'm posting about the Spinach-Mozzarella Pie with Parm Crumble, a delicious quiche-like main dish.  I used Swiss chard in place of the spinach, and it worked out beautifully.   

 

This is a great savory pie that can be served on its own, or as an accompaniment to meat or poultry.
