Are there cookies more comforting than thick Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies? These cookies are huge, soft, chewy and chock full of chips. They're Papa’s favorite and he will pass up every other cookie, no matter how decadent, for one of these.
Soft Milk Bread Hamburger Buns (Tangzhong)
These hamburger buns are incredibly soft and fluffy, but still sturdy enough to hold your juiciest burger and all the fixings. They are delicious with a light milky flavor and an amazing aroma. (And they definitely beat store-bought hamburger buns by miles.)
Creamy Fresh Lemon Ice Cream (eggless)
This bright and sunny fresh lemon ice cream has the perfect balance of surprisingly tart and pleasantly sweet. It's extra smooth, creamy and always scoop-able, too.
Éclair Cake (Simple and Easy)
Here's a perfect eat-in-front-of-the -tv, always-loved-at-potlucks, absolutely no-effort easy dessert. Eclair cake is a delicious, wonderfully simple dessert of soft, airy vanilla pudding and graham crackers under a thin, snappy shell of chocolate. There is nothing complicated about eclair cake. It is a simple joy, nostalgic and easy.
Vanilla Bean Sugar Doughnuts (Fluffy Brioche – Tangzhong)
These vanilla bean sugar-dipped doughnuts are made from brioche - a soft enriched dough, full of butter and eggs. They are sweetly fragrant, wonderfully rich and (thanks to tangzhong) exceptionally airy and soft.
Creamy Salted Caramel Ice Cream (eggless)
Sweet caramel with a hint of salt. It's a lovely, compelling flavor for ice cream. Sweet, salty, creamy, irresistible. This is a "Philadelphia-style" ice cream - no eggs or egg yolks, so that the sweet complexity of the salted caramel can shine through unmuted. Creamy, rich, but not heavy or dense, this ice cream scoops beautifully and won't become rock hard or icy.
Chocolate Ganache Dipped Strawberries
The difference between chocolate dipped strawberries and chocolate ganache dipped strawberries is the texture. People looking for strawberries covered in a snappy chocolate shell want straight-up chocolate to cover the strawberries. But there are those who prefer a softer, silkier experience. For these people, there is ganache.
Light & Crispy Liège Waffles (with tangzhong – for a better homemade waffle!)
These Liège waffles are made with my lightest, fluffiest brioche dough (using the tangzhong method). They cook up buttery, light and airy on the inside, lightly crispy and chewy on the outside with crunchy "pops" of caramelized sugar. Although this recipe may not be very traditional, it is very good.
Scallion Pancakes with Caramelized Onions
Scallion Pancakes are thin, flaky, crispy, chewy pancakes filled with fresh scallions. This recipe adds caramelized onions for an additional layer of sweet-savory flavor. So delicious!
Soft and Airy Brioche (Tangzhong)
This Soft and Airy Brioche is a feathery-light enriched bread. It's full of eggs and butter, so it's rich in flavor and very soft. This recipe also uses tangzhong (a cooked slurry of flour and water) which boosts this bread's airiness, makes it extra pillowy and helps keep the bread fresh and soft for days.
