What are you baking? July 2024

Cherry, blackberry, blueberry and peach galette. This time of year is the best for all my fav fruits.

May I join you, Elsieb ? On the same wavelength as you today, made in the morning and with just a smidge of dough to make a mini. Best time of the year! Peaches, apricots, blueberries; raspberries and a little apricot jam for shine.

Thank you! It took many, many attempts before I managed to make the first soufflé.

Thanks for the laughs, you always make me smile! I don’t think they would travel well, unfortunately.
Now here’s a tart that’s a little more specialized as it’s cauliflower😀
Inspired by Saregama and her multiple cauliflower tarts that always look so appealing.
I also have to give a nod to Alison Roman .

The bars hold up so well, also. We’re on Day 3, and still delicious with good texture. :yum:

Over purchased peaches, and had to use them up. I illicitly returned to my condo ( no showings were booked that day) to retrieve Rustic Fruit Desserts, and made the Stone Fruit Tea cake. Still staying at a friend’s, and she didn’t have a 10 inch pan, just 9, so I baked it an additional 15 minutes, with tinfoil around the sides to protect the edge. I took it in to work where it was devoured in record time…

. This is really an excellent recipe: I think that I make it every year.

An epicurious recipe for cheddar, bacon, and chive buttermilk drop biscuits. I used scallions.

Thank you for that! I made 3 minis this morning with flaked almonds on top, only one left now. They are 3 1/2 “ wide, so a perfect single serving…that’s if you like fruit tarts!

I do like them with strawberries actually

I’m so tempted by small tart shells when I see them at somewhere like home goods or TJ maxx. One of these days I’ll give in.

I have a friend that brings me pasteis de nata and I save the little foil molds for mini mini tarts. That might satisfy your itch. I have a couple in freezer now.

:+1:t3::+1:t3: For the idea and for reusing those molds!

Next time you make a crust, save a little , they don’t require much. I bake frozen with a piece of release foil and sugar as the weight.

I’ve actually got half the savory dough saved from the tomato tarte tatin because it seemed like too much even though it was only 1/2 cup of flour.

Maybe the leek tart will have legs once I finish the tomato and the cauliflower.

Sweet for another day.

The crust looks so pallid though.
