Desserts / Baking: What's Hot Now: Favorite Nut Desserts

Desserts / Baking: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week

Favorite Nut Desserts Jul 16th 2011, 10:01 I guess I'm a nutty person, because I think most of my all-time favorite desserts are made with nuts. I love all kinds of nuts. I love pecans, walnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, peanuts and more. I love seeds too, like sunflower and sesame seeds. There's just something about that extra little crunch while eating my favorite treats. Here are just a few of my favorite desserts (and other baked treats) made with nuts. 1. Benne Wafers 2009 Benne Wafers Cookie Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com Having lived in the south all of my life, I just don't know how I missed out on having Benne Wafers until now. Not only do they have a rich taste, but I really like the nutty texture, too. These are definitely going to be a cookie made regularly in my house. 2. German Chocolate Cake 2010 German Chocolate Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com I think there are two things about a German Chocolate Cake that people find appealing. One is that it's a lighter version of a chocolate cake. It's not densely chocolate which, believe it or not, some people don't enjoy. The second reason is because it's iced with a Coconut Pecan Frosting. I know that's why my daughter loves it. A rich buttery flavor along with a great texture are what make the Coconut Pecan Frosting so enjoyable. 3. Tropical Carrot Cake 2010 Slice of Tropical Carrot Cake by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com I grew-up eating this cake. It's so sinful, and yet, filled with good things for you. I've had house guests request Tropical Carrot Cake for breakfast. I think this carrot cake recipe is by far the best you'll ever have. 4. Chocolate Nut Bars 2009 Chocolate Nut Bars Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com. If you enjoy that chocolate and nuts combination, you'll just love this very tasty cookie recipe for Chocolate Nut Bars. This is one nutty bar cookie. There are 2-1/2 cups of nuts of your choice like: pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, salted peanuts and salted cashews. 5. Pecan Pie 2010 Pecan Pie Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com I've never really cared for pecan pie because it's typically too sweet. This recipe isn't like that at all. This Pecan Pie is just wonderful. For a miniature version of Pecan Pie, try this recipe for Pecan Tassies. 6. Loaded Blondies 2010 Loaded Blondies Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com Enjoy this Blondie recipe chocked-full of toasted walnuts and chocolate. Shh, I think that I might even like Blondies better than most brownies. 7. Sugared Nuts Photo © 2010 Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. These Sugared Nuts are so good that you'll want to eat them all of the time. For that sweet-salty combination make some Salted Nuts to go with them. 8. Orange-Pecan Biscotti 2010 Orange Pecan Biscotti Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com You'll be amazed at the the outstanding aroma that comes out of the cookie jar when removing one of these Orange Pecan Biscotti. 9. Oatmeal Walnut Cookies 2010 Oatmeal Walnut Cookies Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com These Oatmeal Walnut Cookies have a wonderfully chewy texture and a want-at-least-one-more taste. 10. Homemade Granola Photo © 2010 Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. There is nothing like homemade granola. It can be used dry as a snack, in a bowl with milk for cereal or baked to make bars.

Desserts / Baking: What's Hot Now: Baking Tips for Quick Breads

Desserts / Baking: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week Baking Tips for Quick Breads 15 Jul 2011, 11:01 am There is nothing like greeting your family in the morning with the aroma of freshly baked muffins. It is always such a treat. It's a treat to the baker, too. Muffins and other quick breads are so easy to make. After cookies, these should be the next baked goods kids can easily learn how to make. I love to keep several different kinds on hand. I display them in a glass cake container on my kitchen counter. Muffins and other quick breads freeze wonderfully. Just tightly wrap them in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer bag. They should keep for several months. Quick breads (I'm going to only deal with the sweet breads - not to be confused with veal) are made without yeast. So there's no waiting for dough to rise. Most quick breads are prepared the same way: Preheat the oven. Grease the pan. I prefer to use shortening. Butter or cooking spray can also be used. Remember butter does have a tendency to burn, so watch your cooking times. Muffin cups can also be lined with paper cups. Use two cups if you plan to freeze the muffins. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. If shortening is used, cut into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or two knives in scissor fashion to mix in the shortening. Mix the wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir only until combined. This is the most important information for successful quick breads: DO NOT OVER MIX. Mix only until combined. The mixture will contain some lumps. An over mixed batter creates tough and rubbery muffins/quick breads. Put batter into pans or muffin cups. For 12 small muffins: Fill the cups only 2/3 full. For 9 medium muffins: Fill almost to the top. For 6 huge muffins: Completely fill muffin cups. Be sure to also grease top of pan as muffins will expand making large tops. Very important: Fill any empty muffin cups 1/2 way with water. Muffins tend to burn faster in a pan with empty cups. Bake. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Immediately remove from pan and cool on racks. Muffins can be eaten warm. Most other quick breads taste better the next day.

Regardless of the name, I promise you will enjoy this extremely Creamy Strawberry Gelato.
