Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

22aebe40a378196c 150x99 Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

Let me begin this post by saying how excited I am to share this doughnut recipe with you. What can I say? Doughnuts are exciting. They thrill me to the bone. Second, let me lay one thing out on the table: Making good, raised doughnuts at home is not as easy as you’d think . For years (yes, you heard me) I tried in vain to make the perfect homemade doughnut—not just a fat, bready wad of fried dough with a sweet glaze, but a delicate, light ring of love with a slightly crispy surface and a wonderful flavor. Like “those doughtnuts”, and I don’t mean Krispy Kreme. I mean the doughnuts sold at the tiny doughnut dive in our small town. They’re the best raised doughnuts in the world. The shop is owned by an older resident of our town whose temperament can range from kind, welcoming, and gracious to a complete mirror of a certain soup purveyor in a certain long-running series starring a certain man with the last name of Seinfeld. Think I’m kidding? The doughnut guy in our town once made my summer babysitter…

Looking for a healthy and delicious recipe for your New Year’s Eve feast? Ring in the New Year with soba noodles! Soba noodles are healthy, easy to make in advance and even quite traditional. Did you know that soba noodles (buckwheat noodles) are the cornerstone ingredient in a traditional Japanese New Year’s Eve dish? The dish is called Toshikoshi Soba , which roughly means “year-end soba” or “year-passing soba”. But watch out, it is considered bad luck if you do not finish your soba noodles by midnight. So quickly slurp up those 11:59pm noodles and countdown to a healthy, happy new year! Here are some Soba Facts and my recipe for Wasabi Citrus Soba Noodles with Beech Mushrooms . Happy New Year indeed!… Soba 101. Frankly, I am still a soba noodle newbie. I’ve prepared soba a handful of times, but I have been pleased with my cravable results. I have yet to refine a peanut sauce-slathered soba dish, which is my favorite at Japanese restaurants. Any secrets out there? I’d love a few tips. But I must say, I love my recipe below that I can share with you all. It is light, tangy, spicy and citrus-infused. Interestingly, preparing Japanese soba noodles is a lot more complex than preparing Italian semolina pasta (something I have done hundreds of…

There are plenty of reasons why you might not want to wish someone a merry Christmas. Maybe you’re trying to be more inclusive of the cooking community: Or you’re celebrating the oft-overlooked “Hally Days”: Or perhaps you want all of their various ” hollidays ” to be happy: Or maybe – just maybe – you’re trying to get your friend Roxanna a goodbye cake but all the bakery has on hand are stock Merry Christmas designs so you’re forced to make do with one of those and then hope the Wreckerator on duty doesn’t screw up your instructions too badly. But that’s just a guess. Annie J., Kat I., April B., & Kimberly I., I think it’s high time we all agreed that “Winter, underlined” really is the best greeting of the season – don’t you? – Related Wreckage: In Which Happy Tanks SHOULD Be Given, But Are Not —————————————————————————————————– Today’s charity, Love146 , has one simple, compelling, gut-wrenching goal: “The abolition of child sex slavery and exploitation.

Pork Loin with Cranberry Sauce

d844d6d08ea0 150x99 Pork Loin with Cranberry Sauce

This was yummy! I made it just after Thanksgiving, thinking I had plenty of leftover cranberry sauce from our Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, when I opened the fridge and reached for the stuff, it was nowhere to be found. The cranberry thieves are really a problem ’round these parts. I’m calling for Congressional hearings. Anyway, if you haven’t ever cooked a pork tenderloin, the sear-then-roast method I use is a good one, and lends itself to any number of different sauces or approaches. It’s flavorful and versatile, and is mild enough to carry pretty much any flavor. Yes, I’m a cattle rancher. And I eat pork tenderloin. Thank you for listening.

Mixed Review: Trader Joe’s Beer Bread

bde9ee45f7bread1 150x99 Mixed Review: Trader Joes Beer Bread

[Photographs: Lucy Baker] After the pomp and circumstance of Thanksgiving—the colossal turkey, the countless pies, the fancy china that must be hand-washed—it’s nice to enjoy a relaxed meal or two in front of the TV with a plate on your lap and your feet on the coffee table. What could be better than watching the game with a big bowl of chili, or a pile of nachos smothered in seven-layer dip? All that spicy beef and gooey cheese calls for a hearty bread for sopping, crumbling, and wiping plates clean, so this week I tested out Trader Joe’s Beer Bread Mix ($1.99). It’s the stuff of Homer Simpson’s dreams. The first step was choosing the right beer. I recalled reading an article on beer bread in Cook’s Country magazine that suggested using a light, American-style lager like Budweiser. I considered this, but decided that I wanted something a bit bolder. I wasn’t just using the beer to leaven to bread; I wanted to be able to taste the malt. My next thought was to use a very dark beer, like a Guinness or a stout, which is a common ingredient in many gingerbread recipes. But this wasn’t dessert…

Giveaway: Creamy Coconut Cupcake mix by King Arthur Flour

d66324f8bec293d1 100x150 Giveaway: Creamy Coconut Cupcake mix by King Arthur Flour

I recently got a chance to test the King Arthur Flour Creamy Coconut Cupcake mix, and reports are excellent. The instructions are a little different than what I am used to (in terms of mixing order and beating time), but I followed them faithfully and came up with more than the 12 servings advertised. Score! I also made them different sizes, as I couldn’t find my ice cream scoop and I was in a hurry. (As usual.) I think I cooked them for 60 seconds or more too long. My oven normally needs an extra 2 to 3 minutes for cupcakes but I’d be more careful with this next time. I frosted them with the mix, which I made according to the instructions included on the package. I gave a light hand on frosting as I had more than the 12 I thought I’d get (and also because I personally like a light frosting to cake ratio). YMMV. The frosting was rich and heavy and creamy and coconut-y. It’s made with coconut milk too, so I thought that was a great supporting character in the frosting. I would totally use coconut milk in my homemade frosting too, something I’d not thought of. I …

Gazpacho

I recently became a recipe tester for Cook’s Illustrated. It’s not that illustrious. Periodically they email you a dish to make, you make it and then take a survey. This time it was an authentic Spanish Gazpacho. It sounded great because I had most of all the ingredients still growing in my summer garden. I thought this recipe would take no time. I mean it’s a cold soup – don’t you just process everything, chill it and it’s ready? Not exactly. When you get started, plan to spend an hour doing something else while things strain. And while it tastes lovely, this soup is high in calories, fat and sodium. Perhaps next time I’d cut down on the olive oil and salt. Lastly, their instructions were terribly confusing so I’ve rewritten them here, including how I altered the recipe – too much straining and transferring from bowl to bowl. Gazpacho Servings: 4 Time: 25 minutes active; 85 minutes total Price: ~$10.50 total; ~$2.60 per serving if all ingredients are store-bought Nutrition (per serving): Calories: 433.1 Protein: 6.9g Fat: 30g Saturated Fat: 4.1g Carbohydrates: 40.1g Fiber: 1.5g Sodium: 1308.8mg Cholesterol: 0mg 3 lbs ripe, …
