Light, Fluffy and Rich Pancakes from The New York Times

I love these! They are fluffy and thick, definitely rich, and some how a little custard-y without feeling undercooked. I used cottage cheese and Greek yogurt which I processed, along with the egg yolks,... read more >

	Basic Roll Dough Cinnamon Rolls From: Baking for Two: The Small-Batch Baking Cookbook for Sweet and Savory Treats (reviewed 2nd July 2020) These make an excellent small batch of cinnamon rolls! I actually made 6 smaller rolls (rather than 4) but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Baked 14 minutes.
	Chocolate Chip Cookies From: Baking for Two: The Small-Batch Baking Cookbook for Sweet and Savory Treats (reviewed 10th July 2018) Good basic cookie recipe. I skimped on the chocolate chips a little (it seemed like a lot). Allowing to rest in the fridge for 2 hours made for a nice chewy cookie with crisp edges.
	Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Expresso Buttercream From: Baking for Two: The Small-Batch Baking Cookbook for Sweet and Savory Treats (reviewed 16th February 2019) This is a keeper - great chocolate flavor without being too intense or rich. I made this in a 4 inch springform pan and baked about 21-22 minutes.
	Peanut Butter Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes From: Baking for Two: The Small-Batch Baking Cookbook for Sweet and Savory Treats (reviewed 15th February 2017) These were tasty - rich peanut butter flavor - but the chocolate chips didn't melt into the promised "molten chocolate" center. Surprise - Peanut Butter Chocolate chips Cupcakes it is then! This didn't deter anyone from gobbling them up with a strong cup of coffee. The frosting was delicious and easy to work with even though I did use Crazy Richard's Natural peanut butter. The author warns against using natural p.b. but that was all I had and it was perfect for both the cake and the frosting. Next time I will use chopped chocolate chips over a half filled muffin cup and top with the remaining batter in hopes of a gooey chocolate center.
	Spiced Banana Bread with Walnut Streusel From: Baking for Two: The Small-Batch Baking Cookbook for Sweet and Savory Treats (reviewed 21st January 2019) Love this banana bread! I was generous with the spices and the banana (closer to 2/3 cup) and it was moist and flavorful. The walnut streusel is a great addition as the bread itself is not too sweet. Baked about 28-30 minutes (more banana may account for the slightly longer bake time).
	Strawberry Buttercream Layer Cake From: Baking for Two: The Small-Batch Baking Cookbook for Sweet and Savory Treats (reviewed 29th June 2020) This was moist and tender and while I used my own frosting, this cake could be paired with almost any flavor/type of topping.
