Baking a Bakewell Is Swell!





 Gotta love brunch with the girls! These last few months we’ve been getting together with my best buds and hosting each other for dinners, and this month it was my turn, and we did a brunch instead! This Bakewell Tart (Steph’s!) from Baking with Dorie fit the bill as a nice dessert. It actually works as a brunch dessert, because it’s not too sweet or decadent, it’s filled with jam which reminds me of breakfast, and it’s not super showy. I used homemade raspberry plum jam that my aunt makes every year for Christmas. The jam is between the tart shell and an almond cake that fills the tart. I thought the flavor was delicious, but I will admit that I didn’t love the texture of the almond part- it was a little grainy and reminiscent of cornbread (which I like but I wasn’t really expecting this). Everyone seemed to like this tart though, so I’m going to put it in the win column.

Rustic Eleganza

Hi all! Longtime lurker, first time poster! Im not really savvy with the blogosphere, so bear with me as I learn how to do this… some of you know me from IG, I baked myself numb and found Dorie! Now, I’m just baking like a normal person.  I made the apple pandowdy, which is something I’ve never heard of before, but I was grateful, because it’s such a fun word to say! It was the last day of the farmers market and the last vendor standing was the apple farm, so this was meant to be!  The pandowdy came together really quickly, using a variety of apples, as one does in these types of recipes. Peeled and diced, tossed in the pan with the rest of the stuff and topped that with the crust. I’ve made dories pie crust before, and it is a great and easy recipe- very forgiving- which is great because making pies and tarts beautiful is not my forte…but with a pandowdy, who cares!?! It’s triangles of dough! It’s rustic and scrappy, just like me. 💁‍♀️  PS- delicious with ice cream!

Hiking Muffins

 Tuesdays with Dorie continues and this week, I made these grain and seed muffins from her new cookbook, Baking with Dorie. This is a mix of a bunch of healthy grains and seeds and dried fruit. This is a muffin Dorie said you could take on a hike. I’m not really a bran muffin person, I don’t particularly love “healthy” baked goods, but I’m open to try anything, and Dorie knows how to make things taste good- I’ve been surprised before! Well, I split one with my 8 year old son who is not afraid of trying new things, and we decided it would be nice to share the rest with my aunt who loves bran muffins and healthy things and she loved them!  Full disclosure: I used (golden) raisins instead of cranberries, but Dorie said I could! (Also, I thought I had flax seeds but didn’t, so I added black sesame in addition to white).  #doriegreenspan #bakingwithdorie #tuesdayswithdorie
