There's nothing tastier than brioche, whether it's a loaf or a bun. I tried to keep them awhile by storing them in the freezer, but, alas, part of my consciousness knew they were there. They were so delicious toasted and slathered with butter. They never made it to the sandwich stage.
Guess I'll have to make them again.

For the second Baking with Dorie January challenge, I made the Tender Biscuits. They're made with yogurt and either milk or buttermilk, and you can leave them plain or add in fresh herbs. I chose to leave them plain since I enjoy them with butter and bit of jam.
I had made these a year or so ago, and noted on the recipe that they were a bit too dry and to add extra milk. So, I did that this time and they came out much better.
Instead of round biscuits, and the subsequent re-rolling, I cut out 8 biscuits from the dough. Sometimes I make squares or rectangles; this time I did triangles. Also, I only baked two, and put the remaining biscuits in the freezer. It's a pleasure to cook one fresh when you desire a snack.

For our first challenge of the year, I made the Coffee Shortbread. I love any kind of shortbread cookie, and these are just delicious. The coffee flavor is enhanced with hints of lemon and cardamom. I skipped the optional icing, and just dusted them with powdered sugar and coffee.
After all the holiday baking, it was nice to make a simple recipe. I know I will bake these cookies on a regular basis.
