Culinary Adventures with Camilla

These are not difficult, so I don't know why I don't make these more often! Maybe it's because I love the look of glee when these come to the table. All three of my boys love popovers. Jake asked, "How much butter do you use?" Not that much . "So, they're kinda healthy?" I guess so. I added some ground cinnamon and vanilla salt to this version. But you can use whatever spices and extracts you wish. This really is an incredibly flexible recipe to have in your Sunday brunch repertoire. Ingredients makes 6 popovers 1-1/2 C organic whole milk 1-1/2 C flour 1/2 t vanilla salt 3 eggs 1 t pure vanilla extract 1/2 t ground cinnamon 1 T butter, cut into 6 cubes Procedure Preheat oven to 400º F. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk until bubbles form around the edge of the pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Temper the eggs so they don't scramble or curdle. Whisk constantly until the eggs and milk are completely c...

A couple of weeks ago, the latest issue of Food & Wine  arrived in my mailbox. On the cover was a pie; the description read: "This recipe with ruin you for every other pecan pie. Find out why on [page]...." Okay. I'm intrigued. Pecan pie is one of my favorites. Here's the recipe from their website: here . But days went by and eventually, the boys asked, "What about that pie?"  What pie?  "The pie that will ruin us for all other pies."  Oh, that pie. Since I needed a dessert for a birthday party, I asked the Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf if he'd make it for me while I worked on all the other dishes. He agreed. We made slight modifications: we made it gluten-free; we swapped out the corn syrup for bourbon maple syrup; we used instant coffee instead of instant espresso; we toasted the pecans on the stovetop instead of in the oven; and we added a vanilla salt. Otherwise, he stayed mostly true to the recipe. After ...

#TwelveLoaves is a monthly bread baking party created by Lora from  Cake Duchess  and run with the help of Heather of  girlichef , which runs smoothly with the help of our bakers. Our host this month is Liz from  That Skinny Chick Can Bake , and our theme is Holiday Breads. For more bread recipes, visit the  #TwelveLoaves Pinterest board , or check out last month's mouthwatering selection of #TwelveLoaves Breads! With a theme of Holiday Breads, I wanted to create a new-to-us loaf though R really wanted to make his Panettone . He had even candied his own citrus last year. Still I convinced the kitchen elves to be a little bit adventurous. I steered the project towards a savory Scandinavian bread because Jake's cousin was sending us some hickory smoked Kokanee. Thanks, Ike! This bread fit the bill with its hearty dark syrup and earthy seeds. The traditional recipe uses treacle; I opted for molasses. I think they are similar and prefer the earthiness ...
