3/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish

Preheat the oven to 325°. Generously butter four 4-ounce ramekins. Set the ramekins in a small roasting pan. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the garlic paste and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until just golden. Stir in the cream and Roquefort and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, gradually whisk the Roquefort cream into the eggs. Whisk in the 1/4 cup of scallions and the salt and pepper. Stir in the bread cubes and let stand until the cream is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Spoon the bread pudding mixture into the ramekins.

Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let cool slightly. Run a knife around the bread puddings, then turn them out onto plates. Garnish with the remaining scallions and serve.

I did not have any blueberries so I used frozen raspberries instead. My family loves it! The raspberries give it just a bit of tartness. The next time I make this I think I will give the tops a light sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds for a bit of crunch.

Cinnamon/caramel Rolls

This is my mom's recipe for caramel pecan rolls, or cinnamon rolls, depending on which fillings you use. Who needs birthday cakes when you can come down to find a big pan of these cooling on the counnter? :-)

Bread Dough:
3 c. flour
3 T. butter
3 T. sugar
1 pkg yeast
2/3 c. milk
1 egg

1. warm milk and add sugar and yeast to milk. Set aside to proof
2. In food processor, blend flour and butter until butter is incorporated.
3. When yeast mixture is foamy, stir a bit and add beaten egg.
4. Add milk/yeast mixture to running food processer mix and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. YOu may need to add more flour or milk depending on consistency of dough.
5. Cover processor with towel and let rise for at least 30 min. (this depends on what kind of yeast you used)

The dough should be a bit sticky

When the dough has risen, take it out of the bowl and put on a floured surface. Pat or roll it into a rectangle with the dough about 1/4- 1/2 inch thick. Spreas softened butter on the dough and cover with fillings.

Caramel Rolls:
Sprinkle brown sugar over dough to completely cover it. Spread nuts on top of the sugar. Roll and squeeze the roll so the mixtures stick to the dough. Cut into slices and put on a baking pan which has been coated with butter and sprinkled with brown sugar and nuts.
Bake at 350° until lightly brown on top. Immediately remove from the pan and let cool upside down.


Cinnamon Rolls:
Sprinkle a cinnamon/sugar mixture over the buttered dough and then sprinkle raisins on top of that. Make into a roll and cut into slices. Set the slices in a pan that has been coated with butter and sprinkled with sugar.
Bake at 350° until lightly brown.

Pumpkin Bread

I got this recipe from a friend I used to work with last year. It makes a lot, so save one loaf for yourself and share the other one with a friend!


3 cups sugar
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
2/3 cup water
1 (15-oz.) canned pumpkin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and ½-in up sides of two 9x5x3-inch or three 8x4x2-inch loaf pans; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and oil with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs and beat well; set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Alternately add flour mixture and water to sugar mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Beat in pumpkin. Spoon batter into prepared pans.

Bake in a 350 degrees oven for about 1 hour or until a wooden toothpicks inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.

Golden Corral Rolls

1 envelope Active dry yeast
1/4 cup Very warm water
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Butter or margarine
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Scalding hot milk
1 Egg, lightly beaten
4 1/2 cups Sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Melted butter or margarine, for brushing rolls

Sprinkle the yeast over very warm water in a large bowl. (Very warm water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist.) Stir until yeast dissolves.

Add sugar, the 1/4 cup butter or margarine and salt to hot milk and stir until the sugar dissolves and butter or margarine is melted. Cool mixture to 105 to 115 degrees.

Add milk mixture to yeast, then beat in egg. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. Use some of the remaining 1/2 cup of the flour to dust a pastry cloth.

Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes, working in the remaining flour (use it for flouring the pastry cloth and your hands).

Place dough in a warm buttered bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and knead 4 to 5 minutes on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Dough will be sticky, but use as little flour as possible for flouring your hands and the pastry cloth, otherwise the rolls will not be as feathery light as they should be.

Pinch off small chunks of dough and shape into round rolls about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inches in diameter. Place in neat rows, not quite touching, in a well-buttered 13- x 9- x 2-inch pan.

Cover rolls and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter or margarine, then bake in a moderately hot oven (375 degrees) 18 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm with plenty of butter.

This recipe yields about 2 dozen rolls.

Sally Lunn

A Sally Lunn is described as a light, porous, sponge-cake-like yeast bread.

According to Wikipedia, "There are those who say that Sally was the daughter of a pastry cook in Bath, England. Because the bun is similar to a French brioche, others say she must have been a French Huguenot woman who baked them. Then they say that no French lady would be named Lunn or called Sally. Others say there was no one named Sally at all; the words are a corruption of "sol et lune," the French words for sun and moon that may have been used to describe the round shape of the buns, or perhaps a French word like "solimeme" for a type of brioche."

The version I have is baked in a bundt pan.

Ingredients
1 cup milk
¾ cup butter or margarine.
¼ tsp. sugar
½ cup warm water
2 pkgs. instant dry yeast
4 cups sifted flour
¼ cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
½ tsp. vanilla or lemon extract

Scald mild and pour into bowl of stand mixer. Add butter and sugar, stir while butter melts and helps to cool milk a bit (I hate to wait). In the meantime add ¼ tsp. sugar to warm water and use to bloom yeast. When milk is just warm, add eggs and extract and beat well. Slowly add the flour. The mixture is thick and should be pushed down with a rubber spatula. Let rise in mixer bowl until doubled in bulk. Beat well again. It surprised me that it had turned from very batter like to very bread dough like while it raised. Place in greased 12-Cup Bundt Pan. I tried spooning it in but I think probably lightly kneading it and laying it in would make it more even. Let rise until pan is almost full. Bake at 375 degree for 25-35 minutes. Cool in pan 5-10 minutes; turn out on wire rack to finish cooling.

Buttermilk Cornbread

My sister gave me this recipe decades ago. It is tried and true. If you are considering making cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving I recommend this cornbread. It is not very sweet but it has body and a great flavor. It is best baked in a greased castiron skillet but is also good baked in a dish or pan.

1 1/4C. sifted flour
2 t. bakiing powder
1 t. salt
3/4 t. soda
2 T. sugar
1 C. corn meal
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/4 C. buttermilk
3 T. melted shortening (I use vegetable oil)

Sift flour, baking powder, salt, soda and sugar. Add corn meal and mix well. Combine eggs, milk and shortening; add to dry ingredients, mixing well. Bake in a greased pan in 425 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes., or until done.

Aloha Quick Bread



I have made this for years. People who don't even like coconut, enjoy this bread.


ALOHA QUICK BREAD

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon orange peel

1/2 cup butter OR margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 medium)
1 teaspoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts (I usually use pecans)
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained (1-8 oz. can)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
Stir together flour, soda, salt, and orange peel. Set aside.
Cream: margarine and sugar.
Add eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix well.
Gradually stir in dry ingredients with milk.
Fold in coconut, nuts, and drained pineapple.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Cool 20 minutes before removing from pan.

HINT: You may already know this hint, but it is one of my favorite hints. Line the bottom of the loaf pan with parchment paper. After bread is baked, the loaf slides out of the loaf pan. Just peel the parchment from the bottom of the loaf.



Orange Date Muffins

These are incredibly flavorful and easy to make. My sister discovered this recipe recently and we ate them all summer. My favorite part is pulverizing the orange! 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour can be substituted for the white flour without a discernable difference in flavor.

1 large seedless navel orange (with peel)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup golden brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped dates

Place orange in food processor until finely chopped but not pureed. Melt butter. Transfer to large bowl and stir in milk and eggs. Add white and brown sugar and stir well. Add chopped orange and set aside. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in dates. Add the orange mixture and stir until just combined. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until muffins turn light golden color.

Delicious Apple Cake

An apple sauce cake from my mother - fairly simple to make, delicious to eat, not too sweet, great for a lunchbox treat, and it lasts a good two days. Serve with some extra apple sauce, lightly sweetened with honey, and a spoonful of runny cream if you like.

Butter a large loaf tin, or a round cake tin.
Preheat the oven to 200 deg Celsius.

Sieve a little more than 6 tablespoons apple sauce.

Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon (it makes a great difference in taste) and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Set aside in a bowl.

Melt 4 tablespooons of butter and set aside in a bowl.

Rapidly cube 125 g (8 tablespoons) cold butter. Mix 2 1/2 cups cake flour well with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub the cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles mealie meal - use a light, efficient hand, or rather, fingertips. Beat together 1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk and 6 tablespoons apple sauce, and mix it into the flour with a fork. Use your hands to pat it together in a dough.

Take a little more than a tablespoonful of the dough, roll it into a ball lightly, dip in the melted butter, then roll it in the spiced sugar. Place it into the loaf pan and do the same, stacking the balls neatly, with the rest of the dough. Pour any left-over butter over the cake and sprinkle with any left-over sugar.

Bake it about 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven.

Serve some of it warm, but it slices more easily and tastes better the next day. Never easy to slice - sometimes I just break it into the original balls.

Enjoy - it's a treat with tea on a cool day.

Thomas' English Muffin Clone

Here is a Thomas English muffin recipe clone:

Ingredients:
1 pound All-purpose or bread flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 tablespoon Dry yeast
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 cup Warm milk
2 ounces Butter -- melted


Directions

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and leave in a warm place.

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm (105 F) milk (Microwaved). Let froth, then mix in the butter.

Stir all the liquid into the warm flour and beat well until smooth and elastic.

Cover and proof in a warm place for 50 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Turn onto a well-floured board and knead, working a little more flour if necessary to make the dough easier to shape.

Round up the dough, roll into a thick sausage shape and (using the sharpest knife you have) slice into 8 to 10 portions, each about 1 1/2 ~ 1 3/4 inch thick.

Shape each one into a round with straight sides. Put onto a greased baking sheet. Cover (use greased plastic wrap) and put in a warm place to proof for 30-40 minutes or until springy to the touch. Leave room for expansion and be careful not to over-proof.

Warm and grease the bakestone lightly. Lift the muffins carefully onto the bakestone and cook over very moderate heat for 8-10 minutes until pale gold underneath. Turn and cook the other side.

Wrap in a cloth and keep warm if cooking in batches.

To serve, insert a knife in the side, pull the top and bottom slightly apart, and insert slivers of butter.

Use a 9" Springform Pan, that has a Parchment circle cut to fit the bottom. Spray the entire inside of pan with Pam Vegetable Spray with Flour (Baker's spray)

Put the Flour and Brown Sugar in a bowl and blend with a pastry blender (or fork) until completely mixed. Add in the Butter and mix with the pastry blender (or fork) until it is "crumbly."

Take about half of the mixture and put it in the bottom of your springform pan. Press hard, evenly, all around (this is the bottom crust).

Mix the Walnuts, Baking Soda, Cinnamon and Salt into the remaining mixture.

In a separate bowl add the Egg and lightly beat it with a whisk. Add the Sour Cream and Vanilla and whisk until smooth.

Make an indentation (well) in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture.

Stir until just combined. Fold in the Apples.

Pour cake mixture into your pan over the crust and spread evenly with your spatula.

Make the Topping and spread evenly over the batter (Recipe follows).

Total baking time is 1 hour. Bake for 1/2 hour at 375. Cover cake lightly with foil and bake another 1/2 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let it cool in the pan on a cooling rack.

Serve with Brown Sugar Sauce, if desired (recipe follows)


Brown Sugar Sauce

1/4Cup Unsalted Butter
3 TBL. All-Purpose Unbleached White Flour
2/3 Cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 TBL. Brandy
1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract

Melt the Butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. In a medium-sized bowl, stir the Flour and Cinnamon with the Sugar. Whisk this mixture into the melted Butter until moistened.
Stir in the Cream and whisk until smooth. Cook over low heat (slightly bubbling), whisking frequently until thickened and smooth - 5 minutes.

Take it off the heat and stir in the Brandy and Vanilla.

Serve over the Apple Coffee Cake while warm, or it can be refrigerated for about 1 week. Reheat just before serving. Reheat is SLOWLY, tho, or it will break.

Topping
for the Apple Coffee Cake

3/4 cup Chopped Walnuts, Toasted in a dry skillet
1/3 cup packed Dark Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 cup Butter, Unsalted (room temperature)
1/3 cup all-purpose Unbleached White Flour

Combine nuts, brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

Cut the 1/4 cup butter into the 1/3-cup of flour with a pastry blender or fork to make coarse crumbs. Stir into that the nut mixture.

Sprinkle over the top of the Apple Coffee Cake batter in the pan and press slightly.

Bake as directed in the Apple Coffee Cake recipe!

After the cake is done, you may want to uncover and just barely broil the top to get it nice and crunchy.
