Recipes that include white sugar

Connecticut Cheesecake

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

People are always amazed at how much Jessica and I have in common.  From being born in the same hospital to sharing the same ice skating instructors (years apart), some coincidences are uncanny; another is our mothers’ birthdays. Caya’s Wai Po and Grandma are the same age, born a day apart. We have celebrated together and separately, this year we did separate. On Saturday we celebrated my mom’s birthday and Jessica wanted to showcase the sugar flower work she’s practicing with Sophia.  What better canvas than a very white cheesecake?

Better with Blueberry Biscuits

Monday, August 1, 2011

Scouring Reddit the other day, we saw a delicious-looking picture of some biscuits made by ‘kaldrazidrim’ using a recipe from “Williams-Sonoma Bread“.  As always, the comments are the best part of a Reddit post and in this case he decided to post the whole recipe. Without buttermilk in stock we decided to change the recipe and hopefully improve upon it.  Having not tasted the original we can’t honestly say this one is better (although it makes for a nice alliteration in the title); but we can say this one is damn good.

As you can see, these biscuits bake up nice and high, a picturesque way to start a Sunday morning. The wonderful layers split easily for a nice dab of butter, though they’re delicious just the way they are.  Though ‘blueberry’ may conjure tastes of dessert, these are savory biscuits.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Cheesecake

Monday, June 8, 2009

This weekend, we headed off to visit family in New Jersey. One of my aunts makes some Taiwanese specialties that you seldom see here and she was going to show me some stuff. (More about that in future posts.) We could not arrive without some delicious offerings of our own so we decided on a seasonal cheesecake. It was a fun collaborative dessert. Lon made the cheesecake (because he is the cheesecake master) and I made the topping.

Homemade Rolls

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

We wandered through the supermarket browsing various rolls and breads, looking for something suitable to hold some Italian sausages we were planning to make. But while we love bread, sodium stearoyl lactylate, diammonium phosphate, and other chemicals don’t excite us.  We decided to make our own.

Irish Soda Bread

Slicing Soda Bread

I got home last night and decided I had to make Irish Soda Bread. It’s been on my mind ever since I made the Green Tea Pecan Crumbles. St. Patty’s Day has just been buzzing around in my head. Luckily, you’ll see that the web offers up tons of recipes on Irish Soda Bread and the vast majority of them are “easy as pie”. Why do people say that? Pie is not that easy. This is way easier than pie!

Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes

Sunday, November 9, 2008

I wanted to make birthday cupcakes for two friends, Sara and Rachel, and I couldn’t decide on regular sized cupcakes or miniatures. Turns out, things worked themselves out, two people meant I could do both. I must be on a lucky streak because this recipe also turned out to be perfectly one tray of regular sized and one tray of miniature sized. (update with smaller recipe portion here) Oh, and absolutely delicious too!
