Bananas Foster

Choux Balls

Custard-like, essentially choux, fried up like a donut.

Beignets



1 c. warm milk
1 pkt yeast
[dissolve and let stand for 5 mins]

1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 stick melted butter
[combine to above]

3 c. flour
[add and mix on dough hook for 5 mins]
[cover and let dough rise for 1 hr]
[flatten dough, cut into squares]
[fry in 350 F peanut oil until golden brown and flip to cover other side]
[dust with powdered sugar]

It's been awhile since I last made them so I don't remember if there were any issues then but this batch of dough was really sticky. To remedy that, I added a little more flour until it was easy to roll without sticking.

Apple pies

It's been awhile since my last posting. I've been too tired and haven't really had the urge to cook. However, I managed to do some baking for the Nesbitt's July 4th get together. I know it's been 3 weeks. There was a recipe for cherry hand pies in this month's Bon Appetit. Not too much of a cherry pie person, I decided to make apple pies instead for their get together. These were easy and quick to make. Next time I'll make these into squares as oppose to rectangles, less guilty popping them into my  mouth!
