My daughter’s best friend, since age 15, is in the hospital near us with a very serious illness so we’ve been taking turns visiting her. She hadn’t yet tried these cookies so I sent a little box. She shared with other patients and nurses and told me how fantastic they are. Since they cheer her up some, she will be getting a steady supply of them!

I like the yellow cover. Mine is pink. Choux recipe is standard, though she checks the temperature of the mixture is 185F before removing from the heat.

I saw this one today and you can see the choux recipe. Different fruit and custard but also delicious, I’m sure. Gift link.

Steamed plum buttermilk sponge cake from Sift. I’ve already made this twice with rhubarb, but I bought a giant basket of plums today so I thought I’d give the original a go. The combination af the very tart plums, soft cake, and cream poured over was so good. I love that it just bubbles away on the stovetop for an hour and can be mixed with a wooden spoon in a few minutes.

Yes! Nice to eat warm cake and tart fruit. Didn’t even need the cream.

I have Sift as a bargain ebook purchase. Will have to remember this next summer, as my backyard plums are on the tart side. Looks and sounds fab.
