Loved this recipe!! I did substitute brie for the cheese in the eggplant-bechamel. Probably added more than the recipe called for, too! 😉 It was so rich and delicious!

Comment on Baked pumpkin arancini (risotto balls) by Caroline's Cooking https://www.carolinescooking.com/baked-pumpkin-arancini-risotto-balls/#comment-91708 Fri, 12 Jan 2024 21:54:00 +0000 http://www.carolinescooking.com/?p=2486#comment-91708 In reply to Bev Winter.

So I haven't tried with these, but on doing a bit of research it seems that you can in general freeze arancini, so there's no reason why these would be any different. Though I would have to say, there's a good chance the texture will deteriorate with freezing and so I wouldn't particularly recommend it.

So not all brownies have baking powder - if you do include it, it's gives a cakier brownie, but these are more of the fudgy style which is why there it is not included.

Thanks! So to be clear, traditional haggis doesn't have chicken liver in it, but instead it's purely made from sheep offal, but chicken livers are a lot easier to find (you can buy ready-made haggis but often it's not that great quality, which is why I make my own take on it). I can actually get chicken livers at my local supermarket - I think it's often you don't look for them and so don't notice them, but they are often hiding in the corner of the fresh meat section. Hope you enjoy!

You could, I would suggest softening it so that it's nice and tender and gently sweet. It's probably best to sear the scallops, remove them, then soften the onion, add the garlic then add back the scallops. This should save them overcooking.

So generally bread flour is great when you want more structure (as in bread, hence the name) and it also tends to add a bit more chew - personally I don't think you really need or particularly want either of those here, that's not part of what they are, so no real reason to use bread flour. In terms of folding, you will see it demonstrated in the video and it's described as well - you fold one side over, then the other side on top, so no, not accordion style but instead enclosing the middle part with the two outer sides. If you double the recipe, you can either make two rectangles according to the recipe, or you can make one large piece in which case instead of around 7 inches for the short side, it would be 14 inches, and you cut 12 pieces.

Glad you enjoyed so much! I've never found them crumbly, but volume measuring can vary in exactly how much you get, and not all flours absorb quite the same, so it's always worth seeing how a dough feels and adjusting if needed. Also just for reference, you can easily adjust the quantities by using the slider in the recipe when you hover over the quantity and they all multiply up or down.

Personally I like to add a but more water than the original recipe says which makes them less crumbly!

Thank you for one of the best recipes to make one of my favourite foods! A complete substitute for Ryvita as they’re half the price and double as nice. Have and will continue to make many more times but have developed some tweaks:
- Double up the quantities as
- 2 cup Rye flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 Tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Seeds
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup water
-Have also added more moisture to make the crisp-bread less crumbly
- Cook time 15 minutes at 180degC fan then 15 minutes at 160degC fan to cook thoroughly all over and avoid the edges burning

Deserves 6/5 stars

Hi, so assuming approximately a 2 inch depth to the pans (which is pretty common for cakes), then an 8 inch round would hold approximately 6 cups, and a 9 inch round would hold approximately 8 cups, so that would be 1.33 times the original. With the 8 inch, it doesn't come right to the top so you could get away with making it 1.5 times I think to be easier to multiply up. Just remember it will need longer to bake being bigger.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! So in theory, you can adapt most breads to be made in a Dutch oven, but a couple things to note. First, with Dutch oven baking you typically pre-heat the Dutch oven and bake at high temperature. I'd still recommend pre-heating the pot but yes as you say with the molasses, I think you are better to bake this at 350F as in the recipe. Secondly, this bread is a bit smaller than the typical volume for a 4 quart Dutch oven and since it would normally use the sides of the pan to give it shape, this means it would likely turn out rather flat in a Dutch oven. One way to help make that less the case is to make a bigger loaf, maybe around 1 1/2 times the recipe. A larger loaf generally needs longer to bake, but while it's hard to say for definite, I'd say in general baking in the Dutch oven cooks the loaf faster so maybe the time for 1.5 times would end up similar to the original. But I am taking a bit of a guess here, you would have to check as it bakes, after an initial time with closed oven to help it expand properly (maybe say the first 20 mins). Be sure to use parchment under the bread to help avoid the base burning, maybe a double layer. I look forward to hearing if you give it a try!

The meat ( does not have to be beef) is typically tenderized with a mallet to quite thin before rolling. Typically it is served with buckwheat and shredded beets hot side dish with plenty of sauce. The source is bouillon / drippings based often thickened with a bit of cream.

We had cardamom buns at Fabrique's in London last September and loved them. We just made your recipe and it was just at good. So delicious!

We use cardamom pods that we extract the seeds from using needle nose pliers. And then we grind the seeds. We used extra cardamom in the dough and filling. So good!

We had a little trouble with the filling being too stiff so added one teaspoon of milk. That worked perfectly to be able to spread the filling.

Thanks Caroline for this yummy recipe.

So I'm not sure what exactly you mean by a 5 inch casserole as that can be interpreted a few ways (round, square, how deep?), but I typically make this in an 8 inch skillet, as mentioned in the recipe, so that has an area of approximately 50 square inches. A 5 inch square dish would be 25 square inches, so half. Yes, it can go up the sides a bit more in a casserole but even still, that feels much smaller than I could recommend.

This recipe is using ready-cooked crab so there's no need to boil it, and in fact you don't want to as it can end up over-cooked (if you buy crab meat it will already be cooked, you would only need to cook if you buy a fresh crab but then you'd also need to pick over to remove the meat).

My grandmother Ukranian/Slovish made these every year for us growing up. After she died, I've continued to make them each year at Christmas but I can never get the shape or the thickness of the dough right and most of them open. This year, before I started, I decided to try to do a little reading to find out what I am doing wrong. I read through the recipe and the comments. I'm excited to have the exact measurements for the squares, the tip about dotting the water on the corner and not over filling them. I also love that someone posted how to make the nut filling that my grandmother always made. I've been trying to figure that out for years! My children love them filled with peanut butter and chocolate chips so I thought the suggestion of a different roll shape was a good idea as well. Merry Christmas to all!

It can be a little tricky, I agree - I suggest it works best if you just work with small pieces at a time, to limit how much you handle each chunk. Then maybe try to stop yourself from working it too much as you form into strips and being happy with it cracking or crumbling a little and then more just press it together as you have it formed into the shape you want. Hopefully that helps!

So I don't tend to find I have too much issue with fat all over the oven (though granted some) partly as pricking the skin all over helps the fat drain out better. I also use a relatively deep pan to catch the drippings. But yes, you could cover it if you prefer it just won't, as you say, crisp up. Though if you want to compromise, you could always just do that last half hour or so uncovered to get a bit of crispness. Yes, you could probably shorten cooking time a little as a result, though - maybe 5 minutes less each turn, so 15 less overall? Though that's a little bit of a guess.

So in general, this is not a super airy cake, it does have a bit of a tighter crumb, but there are a couple things that could be worth thinking about. First - when you say the amounts were right, did you weigh or use volume measurements? Weighing is more accurate, so if it seemed thin, it maybe didn't have enough flour. In terms of being flat, is your baking powder a bit old, as it doesn't work quite as well when not fresh. Also, did you whisk the egg and sugar until going pale and glossy? As this process not only dissolved the sugar, it gets air into the mixture. Then as you add the dry ingredients, you want to mix in lightly and not over-mix so you don't lose that air. Hope that helps!

To me, that would be pushing it a little with this style of cookie - the dough here is less sweet than many types which is a lot of what helps preserve cookies. They may be OK, but it's a little hard to say for sure, since you don't know how cool they will or won't be in transit etc. And certainly as I mentioned to someone else, if shipping I'd make sure to use a thick filling or else the filling will bleed into the dough.

So all the ingredients keep well. If left out, orange slices with dry and the fennel will get slightly less of a crisp crunch over time, but it's still not much. If you make ahead, I would keep it in the fridge in a sealed container (a day should be fine) then just serve on plates when needed.

They will keep at room temperature for a couple days (3 or so is usually OK), but they do gradually start to go soft and the filling can "bleed" a little. I'd recommend using a relatively thick jam for the filling to try to minimize this as much as you can.

Comment on Lighter Christmas pudding by Caroline's Cooking https://www.carolinescooking.com/christmas-pudding/#comment-91335 Fri, 08 Dec 2023 03:19:22 +0000 http://www.carolinescooking.com/?p=393#comment-91335 In reply to Bev Earles.

Sure, I know it is a little hard to describe (at some point I'll add a video to show it!) So if you look at the picture with the four small pictures with the stages mixing etc, the bottom right shows the pudding with the paper over the top. You'll see the paper isn't pulled tightly over the top of the bowl, but instead has a fold in it. That's what you're trying to do. This allows a bit of room for expansion (and steam) without the paper bursting as it cooks. So another way to do it that may be easier to describe is you make two small folds in the paper first so it's like an upside down T with just a small bit sticking up, then turn the paper over and lay the paper on top of the bowl. This then gives an inside fold which is the expansion room you need. Hope that helps!

I hope you enjoy! So as you'll see in the recipe, I always make it as a log then cut into the individual cookies, but if you add up the filling ingredients, then divide by the recipe yield, you get approximately 1 1/4 cups of filling between 14 cookies, so that would be a little under 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie. But that's definitely approximate - some of the fruits likely pack down a bit as you blend them so it may be a little less.

So I wouldn't freeze the whole skewers, but yes you could marinate the meat and freeze that, then it will continue to marinade as it defrosts. Once defrosted, you can add the other ingredients as you put the skewers together before cooking.

How long they take to bake really depends on the size, so I can't really say for sure, but you are looking for the same general feel and appearance. If they are smaller, they will take a bit less time. Just keep an eye on them and take them out when they have the right color and feel. You could also do a test batch with just a couple to see how long they take before doing more.

Thanks! So I haven't frozen them myself, but I'd say in general yes, you should be able to freeze them by wrapping them well with plastic/cling film/wrap then placing in a freezer bag and sealing up. However I would caution that I suspect the texture won't be quite as good after freezing.

Just simply delicious. I added a little fig jam in the middle. Always a hit and not super sweet.

There's always different ways! Onions are always good for their aromatic, gentle sweetness. I can see mushrooms fitting in there, too.

I would typically do convection roast (ie fan assisted) but it may depend on your oven if you need to adjust down the temperature slightly or cook time as can be the case - I'd just make sure you keep a close eye on it as it cooks and reduce time if needed.

It sounds like it has too much flour compared to liquid - did you weigh the flour, as that is the most accurate? You can add a little water to soften it, if needed, but only add a small amount at a time or you can have it become too wet instead.

So I haven't done it with these particular cookies but it is similar to a sugar cookie or shortbread which does freeze, so in theory it should work. You are probably best to flatten the dough into a disk (and wrap well) to freeze to make it a little easier to work with after. Make sure it is well sealed then defrost completely before rolling out and forming the cookies. It may be slightly crumbly at first if still very cold, in which case just try to work it to warm it gently and make it softer before cutting and forming the cookies.

I'm so glad to hear they were such a hit! Indeed, melting then cooling the filling is one option, though I find the ingredients mix fine with just slightly softened butter (chilled is of course harder to work with unless you break it up).

Wonderful! Easy dough to work with, great flavor, lovely texture. The folding trick after twisting kept them neat and tidy. I set out to try 100 new recipes this year, and this was a fitting one for number 100. My husband said, "you've made a lot of great things, but a year from now, this is the one I will remember." Thanks so much for a lovely recipe. It'll be a regular in our house.

A couple notes, in case it's helpful for others:
- 1.5c of AP flour weighs 180g for me (per King Arthur); I use a kitchen scale for all of my baking.
- I melted and cooled the butter for the filling to stir in the cardamom and brown sugar, as I couldn't see easily mixing them into cold butter. This was too liquid even after cooling, so I popped it in the freezer for 2 minutes, which was perfect. Any longer would have created the opposite problem. There was no leaking during twisting and the perfect amount of spillage/caramelization when baking.
- The volume of dough for 6 buns was too small for my stand mixer and dough hook. It was quite easy to knead by hand, and I'll happily save the dishes next time.
- We're considering adding in a bit of orange zest to the dough next time for a little different flavor, and very much enjoyed the recipe as written.

Half and half has around half the fat content of heavy cream, so it won't be nearly as rich, but should still more or less work.

So yes you can steam mussels and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days - just make sure they are covered and I'd suggest you maybe put some damp kitchen paper or cling wrap/film directly over the mussels before sealing the container they are in to try to help avoid the top layer drying out.

You can just skip it, or if you feel the mixture is not moist enough, then add up to the equivalent amount of fruit just instead eg apple or orange juice which would pair pretty well flavor-wise.

You certainly get a few variations along the same general lines, so hopefully you would enjoy these, too. On the video, I just checked and it's certainly loading OK for me - one possibility is if you have an ad blocker or if your internet is not that fast either of those could cause it to not load right, but maybe try refreshing and hopefully it may come up. If not, though, then hopefully between the photos and the description you can take a try. Enjoy!

I'm glad to hear you have been enjoying it! I haven't tried with lime - I think it could work but my general feel is lemon pairs better flavor-wise, but it could still be good.

I love this cake and have made it many times but was wondering if you could use lime zest instead of lemon zest? I haven't tried it yet but I think the results would be interesting to see.

Sorry to hear you found it too hard, but it should soften leaving it out and trying to work it with your hands to warm it a little. If it doesn't work as a whole block, you could cut it and just work on one part at a time. It definitely should soften with a bit of warmth and working it, even if it's firm to start.

I’m in the process of making these and the same thing happened, twice. I put the dough in the fridge overnight and the next day I decided to finish them but the dough is rock solid… I did it twice to make sure I measured everything correctly and it happened both times. I’m so sad.

Glad you enjoyed! British scones are a little more like US biscuits - they are that bit softer and less dry (and sweet) than US scones tend to be. And yes, especially if you are in a warmer environment chilling can help to make cutting a little easier though not strictly needed.

In reply to Susan Mercurio.

I agree, these have the taste and texture of a biscuit more than a scone. But they're still very good!
I went light on the baking powder, putting in 1Tbsp plus 1tsp, and I think it would be fine (or better) with less than that. I also chilled the dough for about 25 minutes before cutting out and baking. It's easy to cut out rounds with a knife if you don't have a cutter. I baked for 13 minutes.
A nice biscuity scone recipe.

So normally, if you click on the number in the servings then a slider appears and it will then multiply up the ingredients, but I see since it's set as the number of cookies here it only lets you in effect double the recipe (so going from 15 to 30). But it's a straight multiply everything up evenly to make larger quantities.

This is the fourth time I’ve made this ( this time in a Ninja 2400w Air Fryer ) …. The bacon was delightfully crispy, but not crunchy, the chicken was moist and the haggis ( highland haggis, not a lowland haggis …. completely different taste 🤔🤣🤣 )
However, this was the first time I’ve tried to make the sauce…. Success !!
Plus, because it ‘had to be low carb’ the veg was spectacular as well …. Great recipe, and a little pat on the back for me …… ( I used to burn cornflakes 😵‍💫🤪 )

They may well work cold, but I think I would probably suggest re-heating is better. You could place under the broiler/grill or in a dish covered with foil in a low oven for a few minutes if it's easier not to have to grill again.

Yes, all purpose/plain flour as in the recipe would be white flour. You could use whole wheat, though I suggest ideally whole wheat pastry flour would be best to be a little less dense.

Just made these and they are delightful! Nice texture and flavor although I might bump up the cardamom a little next time. I’m half Swedish and make Swedish Coffee bread at Christmas time but have never had these before. Definitely will be making them again soon. I doubled the recipe and make some mistakes cutting at first so I made a few smaller ones which are perfect for a little treat. Used a pizza cutter to slice the dough, which worked very well. Thank you for your recipe.

The result was delicious. Making three separate parts took more time and dishwashing than were worth it when I had other things to prepare. If I made it again, I would purchase the crostini and bacon jam.

Hi caroline, Thank you for the quick reply.Ohh I went to the market today and I found the chicken livers! Funny thing, I never noticed them before, probably because I always seen the gizzard packs, I never noticed the little container the livers come in. And they had a lot. So I was wrong, they do stock them! Just never noticed. I always used to buy a whole chicken, and the liver and gizzards would come with it. But it would only have one liver with it. I bought the container of them and froze them. Hopefully ,they freeze ok? I am going to make this haggis in a couple weeks when I visit my mom. I couldnt find ground lamb , but I will go to another store that has it. I will omit the ground beef for now,and stick to your recipe with lamb. I cant wait! I been wanting to try haggis for years. Thanks again!

Generally I use a sugar pumpkin (ie the slightly smaller orange-skinned pumpkins also called pie pumpkins), but eg kabocha squash would also work.

So personally, I think it's worth having some liver in there to get closer to the 'true' haggis flavor that is made with liver, amongst other organs. I think beef liver could work, it does just have a bit stronger flavor, so I would maybe use a bit less or you can also soak liver in milk for an hour or two (in the fridge), then drain before cooking, to help milden any iron-y flavor. I think half beef, half lamb would be fine, too. How interesting that you can get beef liver more easily than chicken as for me it's definitely the opposite!

Ah, Kaprun - I haven't been in a while but remember it fondly. This could indeed be what you had. There are also another couple options - there's a similar dish that I also have a recipe for called Germknödel that has a plum filling in it (see link for the recipe). They are generally cooked slightly differently, either steamed or boiled so that they don't have the slightly darker almost crisp base, as these can have from the way they are cooked in the milk mixture. You can also get something in some parts of Austria with an apricot filling, which I think is similar to both of these though I'd need to dig into it a little more to see the specific differences. Hope you try one or other or both and it's indeed what you had, though (and you enjoy either way!)

Appreciate the comment. Personally as long as the butter is cold and you don't handle too much especially after adding the raspberries (which can become more liquid), I haven't tended to find them sticky, but know the juices can make them more so. And yes, they do expand a bit and more bite-sized can be good.

Easy to make but these definitely need the glaze, the flavor is a bit lacking without. The dough was very sticky, even for scone dough. I had to refrigerate it before cutting. They also rise, a lot so don't be concerned to cut them into small pieces- they get much bigger.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed! So yes, my oven is fan assisted, but that can mean slightly different things in different places - it tends to make more of a difference in UK/Europe where you would typically reduce the temperature by around 15-20 degrees when fan assisted, while in the US you wouldn't normally need to.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed (and what an honor to be preferred over others!). On the almond/plain flour weights and volumes - so almond flour tends to have more air in between the pieces as it is a little more course and between that and just generally, the same volume is a reasonable amount lighter than the equivalent wheat flour. This is why the weights are close, even though the volume is more. Though if you prefer that bit more almond flavor then you can, as you did, add a little more almond flour (or could use a little more extract, too).

A really tasty recipe that is easy to follow. I have made this twice and actually prefer this to other bakewell tart recipe I tried.
I would suggest reviewing the metric measurements of the plain flour and almond flour ratio. Currently in metric, plain flour is 70g and almond flour is 72g. I followed this for my first try at this recipe and felt there wasn't enough almond flavor. For second try I used 70g plain flour and 90g almond flour which gave a richer almond flavoring. In your current recipe US Customary measurement is 1/2 cup plain flour and 3/4 cup almond flour so it would seem that there should be a lot more than 2g difference in the metric measurement?

It's not really that easily substituted as it has that depth of flavor you don't quite get from anything else. A dark brown sugar has some molasses in it so would give a bit of the flavor, but is definitely sweeter, so I would use a bit less to save being overly sweet. Alternatively, maple syrup has some of the flavor, though again I would use a little less as it is sweeter. The flavor won't be quite the same, though, with either, but will give a hint of it.

A delicious nearly one-dish meal that only needs a starch to complete it. The first time I made it, I served it over brown rice, and the second time over mashed potatoes. It is a lovely-looking dish on the plate, and the second time, I served broccoli with the mashed potatoes, and the green of the broccoli really popped against the orange of the rutabaga. Speaking of the rutabaga, I had never eaten it before and have fallen in love because it was so unexpectedly sweet. I used apple juice instead of hard apple cider because that's what I had. Like you, I used boneless pork chops that turned out moist and well seasoned.

To a point, yes, but they can be a little tricky - when you defrost frozen berries they usually become pretty soft and have excess liquid, so I would suggest you defrost, drain them before adding and take care not as you mix them in that they don't break too much more. You could avoid them breaking by adding frozen, but then they'd make the dough wet as they defrost when they cook, so I think adding them defrosted is probably better, on balance.

It's really up to you but you generally want one that's good for cooking (so will soften a bit) and has a good sweet-tart balance, so things like Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp would all be good.

I haven't tried, but I can see it may work - you would need to use a slow cooker that works shape-wise (so not one that's too thin and deep) and they likely won't get the nice slight crispness/browning on the bottom that you typically get with the stovetop method, but otherwise I think it should work. It may take a little longer, too, so keep that in mind.

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed! It's one of our big favorites, too. And yes, there is indeed an apple version, too - I'd just suggest you make sure you use an apple that is good for cooking (eg Fuji, Honeycrisp), and cut the apples small-ish (around 1in/2.5cm dice max) so the texture works best.

I haven't tried and in all honesty, I'm not sure that I can think of a good option as substitute here as the eggs are not just acting as binder but also adding to the texture, particularly without leavening agent, so it's hard to think of a good option to replicate that without quite a few changes.

It's not one I know so can't really help, I'm afraid - are you definitely thinking of Lebanese/Middle Eastern seven spice, though, as there is also a Japanese seven spice that has slightly different ingredients, and I believe can sometimes be made into a sauce with soy sauce and possibly other ingredients.

The rosemary and strawberry infusion pairs well together. However, I found the amount of rosemary to be a bit overpowering for my taste. (I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream and all flavor was balanced 🧘‍♂️ lol) The sweetness of the empanadas was perfect. Loved just keeping it simple with fruits and honey.

I would make this again with about a quarter (1/2 teaspoon) of the suggested amount of rosemary.

I think this works with just a healthy starter, as long as you fed it the day before and it has bubbled up to be truly active. But if you are unsure about quite how healthy it is, then I'd do the feeding so it doubles first, if that makes sense. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Caroline! This looks delicious! I am going to make it, but am not sure if I should feed my starter before making the levain. The notes say to use an active starter…does that mean make the levain after it doubles or just use a healthy starter? I’m new to sourdough so I appreciate your help!

Fabulous!
I typically do not leave reviews but I have to for this - it was really good! I made it as written, except that I used fresh strawberries and frozen peaches because I had no other fresh fruit. And I added a little cardamom to the batter because I love it and never get to use it!
Just sweet enough, just enough for 1 person, great blend of flavors. I would make this again and again!
And really, folks, saying how good it looks isn’t a review - make it first, then comment. We all know it looks good. That’s not helpful.

I haven't frozen it myself but I know you certainly can in theory freeze jams - just make sure there is a bit of space in the jar or container you put it (ie don't fill it full) as it will expand a little during freezing. It should store for up to a year.

Easy to follow recipe, I haven't tried it yet but will do at my next attempt. I'm curious to try it with an egg added as this time I made it without for more traditional milk bread. Thanks for sharing this.

Just made this as I had fresh carrots to use up. Did not have cilantro - but drizzled a little chili/onion crunch on top for a spice note. Clean and delicious.

Vanilla paste is similar to extract, but it's thicker and made with a sweet syrup so it works well when you want the vanilla flavor but not the sometimes more harsh alcohol flavor that you can get with extract. You could certainly use the seeds from a vanilla pod in stead, or extract would also work just maybe use slightly less to limit the other flavor coming through.

Glad to hear you have been enjoying! So the main thing that is different is that active dry yeast needs to be bloomed in liquid before you add it, unlike fast acting where you can mix it in directly. So with active dry yeast, I'd suggest you gently warm the milk (only very slightly, to lukewarm), add the yeast and leave it around 5-10 minutes until it bubbles up. Then, add this mixture to the flour and other ingredients as in the recipe. The amount of yeast is the same, sometimes active dry takes a little longer in the rising time.

These were fantastic! I quadrupled the recipe because I have a large family. I was so excited - but intimidated - to try your twist/roll, but the video made it so simple. I definitely will be making these again, and soon! The tender dough with the crisp top from the egg wash and tiny crunches of pearl sugar, and warm and cozy cardamom - just perfect. I added a bit of fresh orange zest to the filling (probably about 3/4 tsp for a single recipe as you've given it here), and my family loved them. Will play around with doing no additions, more cardamom, etc.

A few recipe notes: I did the first rise overnight in the fridge, and by the time I finished with the last fourth of the dough, it had gotten so soft and was a little trickier to work with. (Such a soft dough, which was perfect in the finished buns.) But I was glad I started with chilled dough. Second item: if people want their buns to look as pretty as yours, make sure to set them far apart on a baking sheet. I'm accustomed to setting things close together, but of course they will smush together on rising and baking.

When you add the icing, it will be fairly runny as the icing is warm and you are pouring it over a warm base. Though it should still have a bit of thickness (so not like water, more like a semi-thick sauce). But as long as you have everything in there and the right amounts, it should firm up fine as it cools. If your room temperature is a bit warm, you can chill it in the fridge to help it firm up more though this can soften the base so I wouldn't do unless needed.

So fresh leaves need to be blanched to soften them. To do this, first wash the leaves really well then bring a pot of water to the boil, add a few leaves at a time for about 1 - 2 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cold water (this helps to stop them cooking further). Then drain and they should be ready to use, or store, layered in a container in the fridge. Ideally, you are best to use fresh leaves in spring/early summer when they are a bit more tender. Enjoy!

I haven't tried it, and the texture for some gluten free flours can be a bit different, but certainly in theory it should work - you might just need a little more or less flour to get the right texture.

So glad to lear you have been enjoying! So if you were to double, I would suggest the best thing is to make two separate loaves rather than try to bake all as one. Then they should take about the same time to cook since each will be the same size as a single recipe. I think one large loaf you'd be struggling to get it to cook in the middle without it getting too dry on the outside. The only exception would be a shallower baking pan such as a square or rectangular cake pan (or round) that is of equivalent volume to the two loaves. Then it really depends how thick etc for cooking time so you may have to test now and then as it goes.

So glad to hear it worked out well for you and is very close to what you had in Georgia (praise indeed!)

Very nice and easy recipe, my khachapuri came out perfect, very close to those I used to have in Georgia! The only thing I added to the dough (because I remember seeing the dough being made like this) was 1/4 cup vegetable oil, helps make the dough more smooth. And for the filling I find a combination of feta and grated Halloumi cheese to be closer to Sulguni, so I reduced the feta to 1/3 cup and added 125g of grated Halloumi cheese instead, alongside the mozzarella of course. But definitely saving this recipe!! 😊

I can see that broiling helps for the cheese, and if definitely an option. The only thing is you can potentially end up with browned cheese but cold beans whereas in the oven you get a bit more even temperature of the whole thing, but both work.

Hi, so you wouldn't need to change the ingredients at all but you will need to reduce the cooking time. It is hard to say exactly as it depends on the exact size, but maybe half the time if very small. I'd let them back, say 20 minutes then check to see how far along they are to see when might seem right.

Did you have it covered? This should help to prevent you losing too much liquid as it cooks, though it will reduce a bit. Once you add the orzo, there should be enough liquid to cover the orzo with a thin layer of liquid so that the orzo cooks. If this is not the case, then add either some more broth or passata, as you prefer, or a mixture of both. The end dish will not be very saucy, just enough to coat everything, but yes you do need enough liquid to ensure the orzo cooks. You can also start cooking the orzo and top up the liquid, if needed.

It's really a matter of taste - I generally leave them in as they don't bother me but sometimes if it seems I have very seedy fruit, I strain part of the jam to reduce the amount of seeds. You can also strain it completely if you prefer to have no seeds at all.

So, roughly speaking you'd need the 2 1/4 cups of flour plus 1 tbsp, then 1 tbsp less baking powder. So that would be about 324g of self rising flour, and 1/2 tbsp (7.5ml) of baking powder. This is assuming you use UK/Australian self-rising flour as the US kind can have a slightly different mix of raising agent in there. Hope you enjoy!

It's a little tricky to take an ingredient out once mixed in, but a couple thoughts - one is if the zest is in slightly larger bits you could strain the jam and you may manage to remove the zest so it's no longer in there. This should hopefully reduce the lime flavor. It would mean you get a smoother jam as well, rather than potentially some chunks, but if you're fine with that, it may help. The other option is to add extra mango and extra sugar, so maybe a half quantity of what is in the recipe for each, but don't add any extra lime, and this will dilute the lime-yness. It does mean you have more jam, but hopefully that's not a bad thing!

Those changes may impact rise for a couple reasons - butter has some water in it, while crisco is pure fat, so you are changing the liquid level slightly, which feeds the yeast. Also, cream has a higher fat content than milk so this, too, is probably impacting the liquid level a little, as well as making the dough a little denser. So it may take a bit longer to rise, or not rise quite as much. Although temperature and other factors also impact rise time so it's not necessarily that these are having an impact. Hopefully it rises a little more, even if a bit slower and if not quite the full way and comes out well!

I used a scale to weight everything the only changes I made were; I used butter flavored crisco in place of butter and split the milk half with whole whipping cream to give a slight sweetness. Would any of that change the way the bread rises? I'm worried it's not reaching the top of my pan.
I cant wait to taste it the pictures look so good.

I'm afraid I've not tried them stovetop myself, so not sure either how long they'd take (or how well they'd work out) so sorry I can't particularly help - I'd be guided mainly by appearance.

I'd suggest around 2 - 3 days in the fridge, cooled first then stored in a sealed container. I haven't frozen myself but they should work - the texture may not be quite as good given the cheese and moisture, but it shouldn't be too far ff. If you cook then cool them completely, then I'd recommend either freezing as a single layer, so either layering in a container, separating each layer with wax paper, or placing in a single layer in freezer bags (you can fold over after they freeze). Alternatively, freeze on a baking sheet then transfer to a freezer bag or container once frozen. Then defrost in the fridge overnight and re-heat as needed, either in a low over, covered, or in microwave or gently in a skillet.

So as in the recipe, I made it with instant, which allows you to mix it in with the dry ingredients (or, really, at any point). With active dry yeast, you would use the same quantity, but you also need to bloom it in lukewarm liquid before adding to the dry ingredients. For this bread, that's a little trickier since you use the liquid to soften the cornmeal, and warm it more than would be good for the yeast. So I'd suggest maybe reserving the water and just warm the milk for the cornmeal, and use lukewarm water to bloom the yeast. This may mean you are a bit short on liquid to get the cornmeal to soften properly, but it's about the only way I can think to get it to work with active dry yeast.

This is a great recipe, the dough is easy to make and handle, and the taste of the mixture of feta/mozarella is pretty authentic if Sakartvelian cheeses are not available. I would suggest to use mozzarella scamorza as it is drier and melts even better.

The dough here doesn't puff into layers as much as puff pastry tends to, it's only a little separation, so I'd be worried puff pastry would separate or squeeze out the filling a bit too much, so I'd say either roll the puff pastry out thinner or else if you want to use ready made, shortcrust is maybe better.

What wonderful memories indeed! Yes I love oatcakes with cheddar on them. You definitely get different variations, some with finer oats and others more coarse, like these. I've updated the recipe, actually to say you can use oat flour rather than wheat flour, if you prefer (I mainly didn't initially as oat flour used to be harder to find, and you can use either, but is becoming more readily available).

My great grandmother was from Scotland and she gave me her recipe for Scottish oatcakes. She used bacon grease and ground the oatmeal into flour. She did not add any wheat flour. I am sure there are many variations as they used whatever they had on hand. We always had tea with lots of milk and sugar with our "tea cakes" It was also her tradition to have them as a snack with a slice of cheddar cheese. Wonderful memories!!

So I think you probably could, but it may take a little while to cook down. Mango is relatively low in pectin, so takes time to set or needs a bit of help. The lime juice helps, but especially if you are using more the juice than flesh, you might need more. One option is to wash the squeezed out lime and add the skin to the jam as it cooks, then remove towards the end as this should help add some extra pectin. Also, this recipe is on the lower end sugar-wise (which also helps it to thicken) so you might want slightly more with less of the mango flesh since you'd be making more of a jelly than jam.

Thanks for sharing. I believe I knew that you could get a mix, and interesting to see what you put in yours. It's like lots of blends, they definitely vary from one family to another. I drew on a few different recipes I found for the mix in this one which is slightly different, though I am sure you could use a range of blends. Yours sounds a lovely flavor, too. And I can see the little bit of cocoa powder being good in there too - it's certainly great in the glaze here.

I make mine at home and it is fabulous, here's the recipe if you're interested:
50 g cinnamon
20 g ginger
15 g cloves
15 g cardamom
10 g nutmeg
10 g allspice
10 g (or less) black pepper
5 g anise, optional (I don't use it)

All spices are ground and as I find it difficult to weigh small quantities like that, I usually just convert to teaspoons (not necessarily the same in grams but I keep the same proportions - 1 tsp for every 10 grams, so nutmeg, allspice and pepper are all 1 tsp, cloves and cardamom 1.5 tsp, ginger 2 tsp, and cinnamon 5 tsp). We use about 1 to 2 tablespoons in a recipe, depending on how spicy you like your gingerbread to be. It is the most wonderful flavor!

Most traditional recipes also use a little bit of coco powder, the mix of warm spices, coco flavors and orange zest is what makes this cake incredible.

So this type of flour doesn't develop gluten quite as well as a strong flour like bread flour, for example, so it will tend to be a little flatter. However it can also rise and flatten for a few other reasons - sometimes not quite enough flour, or it's slightly underbaked in the middle. If it's very sticky, it sounds like it might be worth adding just a touch more flour.

Oil would indeed be a possible substitute but if you are looking to avoid oil as well, then one option may be apple sauce. It's not quite the same, clearly, but can be used as an alternative for fat and liquid in baking (and I use in some other recipes), though generally not replacing all. I haven't tried it in these to know quite how it works here, but since it's that bit more wet, I would just try maybe half the volume as applesauce, ideally with some form of fat (oil, melted coconut oil or butter) in there as well (though a little less than half, maybe).

I'm so glad to hear the explanation and photos help! So I haven't done it that way myself but I see no reason why it wouldn't work letting it do the first rise in the fridge overnight. Then, if it hasn't risen enough allow it to sit out a little more to rise further and then continue with the rest of the steps as normal. On the seed mix, it will certain give a bit more texture to the bread but I think the fluffiness should probably be more or less the same - interested to hear if you try how it turns out!

Glad it worked well for you. Certainly if you use some marmalade, you need to reduce the sugar as marmalade is very highly sweetened, but I can see it adding to the citrus flavor, too. That and the coconut will definitely change the texture but it's a great simple cake that you can use as a base and adapt to taste, as you have done.

I can't say I've ever had a problem getting a coating on the meat with the recipe as written - they don't need to soak, just get enough that there's a thin layer so the flavor gets in there. There's of course no problem with having more if you find it easier that way, but you don't want too much on when you cook (and it would likely drip off anyway) so it in effect becomes wasted.

I live at altitude of 6,000 ft in bread making is very tricky for me. The only thing I added to this recipe was a tablespoon of gluten. I have to do this at this altitude in order to get a good rise. I am thrilled with these rolls. They were so easy and they are beautiful. Fluffy, great rise, and delicious

We traveled to Scotland about a year and a half ago and fell in LOVE with haggis. We couldn't get enough and ate it all over the country! When we got home, we craved it something terrible and I found your recipe and we have made it multiple times since. It really does taste like the real thing and it uses ingredients I can easily get here in the states! Great recipe!

This bread is incredible! Reminds me a lot of the whole wheat bread we made growing up. But this is healthier due to being sprouted. Sometimes I use half spelt and half wheat (both sprouted). I've made this so many times. I got an 8-qt stainless steel bowl just so I can quadruple the recipe and make enough for us for the week, instead of using store bought bread. I also make cinnamon swirl bread, and it's wonderful. Last week we made pizza crust with it, using one loaf worth of dough to make 3 pizzas.
Also last time I made it, I added a bit of gluten flour to it and took out the same amount of sprouted flour to even it out. I think it made it a little more sturdy, not as easy to tear, which is what I was hoping for.

Anyway, can you tell I love it?? :p

Thanks for the recipe!

I haven't tried myself but I think these should work freezing after cooking. Just cook, let them cool completely then freeze in single layers (separate with parchment or put in a freezer bag in single layers). When ready to use, defrost in the fridge and then warm through in the oven.

Delicious! I make this in the Instant Pot / pressure cooker. Saute setting for the beginning steps; Stew/Meat function and slow release in place of the simmering; then stew or rice function for about 10 minutes with the orzo added in. Easy one pot meal and tastes like back home in Greece.

The worst thing I can say about my effort making this sandwich is that I shouldn't have eyeballed the wasabi. Trust me. Use a measuring spoon. I still ate every bite. Outstanding sandwich. I used a grilled brioche onion bun, and that really made the sandwich for me. It was squishy enough it soaked up all the juices without disintegrating, and added a but of extra flavor. Five stars, all the way.

It's not something I have tried - so Mexican horchata powder is not simply rice flour, as if you used flour it would make a much thicker drink. I think typically horchata powder has a relatively high portion of dried milk in there so you get the creaminess but it's less dense. Using tiger nut flour I imagine would be the same thing - it will naturally be fairly thick for the amount you would probably need to get it to have the taste. You could maybe try to balance that out with some ready-made nut milk or dried milk to make a little thinner, but it clearly won't be quite the same. I'm also not sure if you might get a slight grainy texture or not, as I don't know how well it dissolves, but you could maybe use cheesecloth and a very fine strainer to strain any solids.

Can you use the tiger nut flour to make the Spanish horchata? I ask because the Mexican horchata that uses white rice, they have a ready to use rice powder especially to make horchata. And tiger nut flour is pretty easy to find now in the US.

I have a feeling they may well sink, but there are a few ways to try to help limit that - one is to toss the blueberries in flour before folding in (and fold in right at the end). Alternatively, half fill the baking tin with the batter, add some berries, then add the rest of the batter and add the rest. With the latter, you could also toss in flour, if you like, but maybe not for those on top in case they remain a little towards the top. Hopefully one of these methods should help avoid them sinking completely.

So glad to hear it worked well for you! On the browning - so reducing the heat for a fan oven apparently depends a bit where you are, as ovens work slightly differently but if you are having it brown quickly then maybe yes, it might be worth reducing the heat slightly.

Thank you so much for this. I used my Breville stand mixer and kneaded for approx 5 minutes. The dough was sticky, but I took it off one it passed the window pane test. The house smelled so good while it was baking. The top browned quick and I used the foil method. Just wondering if I am to use the same temp for fan bake function?

I haven't, but I can see it working OK, though I wouldn't use too much. It typically includes cumin which I would include anyway, but also has some more aromatic spices like cinnamon and cardamom and/or cloves or allspice that you wouldn't want to overpower the relatively delicate eggplant and tomato flavors.

It would certainly give the cranberry flavor, though I think you'd have to play around a little with how much to add, since volume will be very different - you will need quite a bit less. Also since cranberry powder has less volume than the fruits themselves, your smoothie will be a bit smaller, too.

So I think as a base it could work, but you may want to add a little more to it. Fig jam is generally sweetened quite a lot and is probably not as thick as the mixture you would make here so may run. But you could maybe try the jam blended with some raisins and nuts to get a slightly thicker, less sweet mixture.

I agree the smell is so good - hope you enjoyed the bread just as much! And yes I prefer using weights since they are more accurate, particularly for things like this, but I try to have recipes both ways to allow for different ways of cooking (and when someone doesn't have scales etc).

Glad you enjoyed! Yes the marinating can be tricky unless what you put it in is relatively tight, and even then you typically need to turn at some point - using a freezer bag, as I suggest as an option, does make things a little better as you can carefully squeeze out the air so it's more snug, but still the liquid will tend to rest at the bottom. I can understand the flavor of the sauce being good from roasting, you will just lose a little more with it evaporating, and it will end up being more fatty as it mingles with the pork fat (though that does of course add flavor!) It really just depends on preference.

Made this today. Very good. Next time I need to find a better way to marinate. Since the pork's large, it doesn't sit emerged in it. Not even half way.
I'd also opt to use all the marinade when roasting. The roasted sauce tastes much better in my opinion, than the simmered marinade.

I personally haven't tried either, but I believe from other comments that other people have tried one or the other and have had it work well. Bread flour has a higher level of gluten-forming proteins so can help it rise a little better than regular flour, but it's a pretty light bread so I think regular should still work fine. Enjoy!

I haven't tried but in theory I think they should work. I would place on a lined baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag or container once frozen.

Thanks - for an alcohol-free version, I'd suggest maybe adding a little soda water and having it as a kind of sparkling soda.

So if you look under the last section of layering and baking, you will see it says to spread a layer of the jam over the pastry, then the sponge topping on top of that. Then you add the almonds and bake it all together (also shown in the video). As for the pan, I have added in a link to the pan I use and also the height it is in the directions - my pan is 2 inches deep but a bit shallower will also work, you would just fill it higher.

So as you've probably found, most chutneys do tend to use onion as part of the base flavor. It's a tricky one to replace - you could maybe use a little finely chopped celery instead, possibly with some carrot as well?

I made this because I already had aji amarillo paste sitting in my fridge from a different recipe and I wanted to try it a new way.

It was very delicious. I used 1 T of aji amarillo paste because I was concerned it might otherwise taste like chicken pot pie filling, as that one guy said. There is no way it would have tasted like that with even just 2 teaspoons, so I don't know what he was talking about.

my blender didn't want to blend the walnut/bread/parm mixture into a smooth blend, so I added the 1/2 cup of stock to the mix and it worked like a charm.

Easy to make. All the family raved over it. This a perfect use for that jar of paste I have in my fridge. Thank you so much.

Apologies, the recipe was a typo and so I have updated to say covered. It doesn't need to be a tight lid, as it's fine for the liquid to evaporate gradually but you do want to keep enough liquid to ensure the pork doesn't dry out.

So kneading is a little hard to be precise on as some of it is by feel - if you use a stand mixer with a dough hook, I'd say 3-4 minutes, if by hand, then more around 5 minutes. You are looking for the dough to appear fairly smooth and well mixed, ideally not sticky nor in shaggy lumps but more combined, if that makes sense. Hope it works out well for you!

So yes, I think it should work to use prepared pie crusts instead - the one thing I have tended to find with bought crusts using them for pies is they tend to shrink a little more than homemade crusts, or maybe that is just me, so I would make sure you don't over-fill and leave a decent overlap of pastry folded over the filling so if it does shrink a little, it shouldn't be an issue with leaking filling. As for the ricotta, so I'd skip the ricotta that would be in the dough, but you actually use some spread over the pastry before adding the mushrooms, so still do that (this both adds a little flavor and helps prevent any mushroom juices making the pastry wet). Hope they work out well, and glad you dound the site, look forward to seeing what you make next!

I'm planning on cutting this into appetizer sizes for a dinner party. For a short-cut to save some time, would the Pillsbury prepared pie crust sheets be an acceptable substitute for the dough? I then thought perhaps I could spread the ricotta over the top of the prepared crust instead of incorporating it into the already flattened sheets, but this is my first galette attempt so I want to make sure any short-cuts don't take away from a successful outcome. Thank you! Just discovered your blog, so I'm looking forward to trying many more of your recipes as well.

I soaked livers in milk before sautéing. I added 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2 triangles of ‘The Laughing Cow’ cheese. All made a very nice slush which formed up super smooth puree after whipping it up in food processor. I think a blender would be better - to get more air into it. Still, very satisfied with final product.

Yes, I know other versions of making rice with mushrooms that do that - here adding the mushrooms earlier helps add flavor to the rice. If you saute some mushrooms to add at the end, I would probably go for some crimini rather than shitake but that's more of an aside. As for sake/mirin - I think you could do either, mirin is generally a little sweeter so just keep that in mind if you add more mirin. Another option, if you had it, would be to use sherry rather than the mirin, or even dry wine. I think mushroom broth would not add much since that's in effect what you have from the mushrooms being in there, but certainly wouldn't be bad either.

I don't have sake but I do have mirin, would I put more mirin or just leave the sake out completely? Would a splash of vegetable or mushroom broth be good in place of the sake just to add some flavor?

I haven't tried it with a sugar substitute and so don't know how it would react in this - for example, I am not sure how well it would dissolve into the egg and if it might stop the egg fluffing up as you beat, for example.

Thank you for this amazing recipe.
Cannot wait to try it. I was just wondering if I could use a sugar substitute like Sukrin for example to make it for diabetics. Almond flour is perfect as it’s lower in carbohydrates.
Many 🙏

Interestingly, this cake's origins may have been as a Passover cake brought by Jews fleeing the Inquisition in the 12 and 13th centuries. No wheat or dairy.

It can be tricky, and you are right to not add too much flour. So a couple ideas - one is that sometimes you need to knead a little longer to get it to stop being sticky. If that still doesn't work, when you come to where you would roll and fold, that's when to have flour on the surface and on your hands - you ideally don't want to work it into the dough, but instead just have it on the surface to help it not stick to you and itself too much. Hope that helps!

Yes, you could make this smooth if you prefer - I would blend the rhubarb separately before you fold it in rather than blending smooth with everything together. That way, you keep a bit of air in the cream mixture to lighten up the texture when you fold everything together.

Sorry you found it bland, aji amarillo pastes can vary in quite how strong they are, as can tastes, so I'd suggest the amount listed is more of a minimum guide and you adjust up to taste (as you clearly did) - I've added in "or more to taste" to make this clearer.

Very bland if this recipe is followed. I'd add at least 2 to 3X more aji amarillo paste as well as some chili powder to give it a kick. As presented, this tastes like chicken pot pie filling.

Really really good, doubled the recipe and it made the perfect amount (12-15 medium size flattened cookies).. Used a Vitamix in lieu of food processor. Had to add a bit of water to keep it moving for blending. In the ‘add everything’ stage added a bit maple syprup, vanilla and dark chocolate chips, almonds and walnuts During baking at the 15 min mark watch them carefully, they can brown very quickly. These are winners!

You certainly could add a little lemon juice, but the main thing is you want to keep the overall liquid about the same, so I would, for example, swap out 1tbsp of the milk and add in lemon juice instead. One reason for not doing so is the juice can make the milk curdle but it should sort itself out as it all mixes.

I'm not sure, possibly not as written - you might want to cook it a little longer to thicken it up, or else cook on a low heat directly over the stove rather than over a water bath to help it thicken more.

I haven’t frozen these particular ones yet but I freeze very similar ones (mini quiches, asparagus/Brie, etc.) all the tie, cooked and then just reheated. I always use the mini phyllo cups you can buy in any grocery store. Frozen, usually under “desserts “ or “novelties.” They contain eggs, cheese, dairy and all freeze just fine. Making these tomorrow for the last Lenten Friday and Good Friday as a first course for dinner. (We have aged out of fasting but not meatless Fridays! I don’t think you ever age out of that?).

This is pretty great. The only trouble im having is with step "2.Once the dough is no longer sticky"
It stays so sticky, i add a little more flour but wory i add to much and ir comes out hard.
I tryed by hand and with the mixer, mixed and kneeded with a dough hook for ages.. so so sticky still. Cant roll n fold it it after first rise and I just plonk the lot it into a bread tin.. still turns out ok, but wish i could roll n fold like ya said.. hmm..

How interesting, I know there are variations, but I've not heard of a bubble and squeak without potatoes - that to me is always a major component. But families do of course evolve things to their taste over time. Certainly you'd not have velveeta in the UK so that pretty much has to be a later adaptation. Always fascinating to hear the variations in dishes!

So as I mention, you can make this a couple days ahead and store in the fridge, then just re-heat on a low heat, gently. If you are planning on only making it ahead, rather than just re-heating leftovers then you might want to err even more on the safe side and so only make the soup up to where you would add the cream, then store the broth and the asparagus pieces separately, so the pieces of asparagus don't get broken up when you stir the soup as you re-heat.
Then to re-heat and finish the soup, gently re-heat the main broth, and then add the cream once it is warm, and separately warm the asparagus very briefly in the microwave or steam them a minute (or you could even not re-heat and just let them warm in the broth when serving).

Elaine: It sounds like too much flour or not enough liquid to me.
I do not knead it too much as I use a stand mixer to mix the ingredients.
Then I use a spatula to turn it out directly into a buttered glass pan. I put butter on my hands. I knead it a bit in the buttered pan, then put a glass top on it and let it rise. More flour does not help if you want a light bread.
When you turn it out to make the loaves, butter the cutting board and again put a bit on your hands when you go to roll them up.
My pan and mixing bowl are always pretty sticky when I make this.
When making other breads you do have less mess I agree. But for the taste and texture it is worth it to have a slightly messier clean up process.

Shrey:
Expense of bread flour does depend upon the brand. That elegant one with the pretty Medieval inspired design is very expensive. Other less pricey brands are available in regular grocery stores. A 5 pound bag of mid price bread flour will make many, many, many loaves. You can store bread flour, well wrapped, in the refrigerator or freezer. I live in the south and if pantry goods are not very well sealed or kept in cold storage bugs are a problem. It is very expensive and time consuming to throw everything out and using poisons in the house is not good either. But you can find affordable bread flour and it does make a difference I think.
Good luck and have fun.

So I would suggest temperature probably the same, but you will want to reduce cooking time. The exact time depends on the thickness of the fish and also density (so varies form one fish to another). A ballpark time for fillets is 20 minutes but can be less if thin/not too dense, or occasionally more.

Excellent recipe! I made this for the family instead of green cabbage to go with corned beef brisket and potatoes. It was delicious! Soft, tender and sweet.

These were exactly what I was looking for— a cookie recipe with no added sugar, no sugar substitutes, and just simple ingredients. I don’t eat any added sugar so these were perfect for my palate. If you want a sickeningly sweet cookie this is not the recipe for you. I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfectly. Next time I plan to try it with raisins and pecans.

Yes, I find that just a minute or two mixed through with the warm rice is enough to warm it through since it is relatively small pieces. You can continue to warm a few minutes if it doesn't seem to be warming.

So apple sauce can sometimes be used in place of both fat and sweetener is some recipes, though you often have to adjust some other quantities to get it to work. I wouldn't particularly recommend substituting it in here, given both the pear in there already and general texture. If you don't have creme fraiche, then I would suggest you could use sour cream, or cream plus a little squeeze of lemon instead, or milk.

I never thought about just wiping the mushrooms clean instead of running under water to wash. I never made whole portabella mushrooms before.

Glad you enjoyed! Yes you can double the recipe - you will either need to divide it into two loaves of use a larger baking pan that holds about double the volume. Alternatively, you could divide the mixture into smaller rolls and place in a large skillet. In terms of making the mixture, you simple double everything, but you may find it needs slightly longer to rise with a larger amount, and bake time may need adjusted. If baking all as one in a larger pan, it will need longer. If they are as rolls in a skillet since they will have a larger surface area/smaller pieces, the bake time will be less.

I loved your straightforward Haggis recipe. It’s actually not much different to my own. The one major difference is I steam my haggis (and other mealy puddins) in my stove top pressure cooker. I do so utilising a pudding basin with its own lid, together with a bit of grease proof paper aka baking parchment. I make puddings with any meat I have to hand, and frequently use carving scraps or leftovers. I even make veggie puddings. Made with individual pudding basins they can be frozen. Previously frozen puddings/haggis are best thawed naturally, but heating by microwave is quick, easy and takes less power. Thank you for posting the recipe. The photos are making me hungry…

Great recipe! I made this in a large batch for a beet cooking competition and it was a hit. I cut down on the simple syrup and added Lemoncello; I also used Antica Carpano sweet vermouth and added orange bitters. I did not use egg whites. I shook it over ice in a cocktail shaker and poured in a cocktail glass. Very good! Thank you.

I'm so glad you enjoyed and that it matched up to what you had - and I'm sure the camino trek must have been great, too! I'm afraid while there are a few vegan substitutes around, I'm not sure any of them are necessarily that great here. One of the things with eggs is that they not only provide the 'glue' but they give it some 'lift'. It might work using an egg replacer like Bobs Red Mill in the US as it uses a mix of potato and tapioca starch, as well as some baking soda, then I would maybe add a little extra baking powder to help it rise a little more. But I have not tried so this is only a guess and I'm not sure if you might scale back the quantity as well. I'm afraid I don't know of a recipe.

I’m also a displaced Scot who loves haggis, but here in Australia it’s as hard to find as it is ridiculously expensive, and not always that good…. So I also came up with a super fast version I think is a more than acceptable version of the original (50 years later and I still have nightmares about my mum cooking proper haggis. It tasted great, but the ghastly image of a sheep’s pluck simmering away with the windpipe hanging out the top of the saucepan scared me for life!). I chop some onion and fry it with the contents of a couple of lamb sausages - they seem to have enough of the offaly bits necessary for that haggis flavour, tho you want to avoid any with too many other flavours like ‘ smoked honey and rosemary’ and the like - then I add toasted oatmeal, stock, spices - nutmeg and lots of pepper - and some lard, and simmer the lot for about half an hour. It’s not half bad and so easy for a week night dinner, but I think I will add some chicken livers next time as you do for extra flavour.

So I would probably tend to use a sweet onion for this, but really most types should work fine, you might just need to adjust the amount of oil and/or time and heat to get them gently caramelized without burning, then add the spices.

My very first time making milk bread! Thanks so much for this encouraging and forgiving recipe! I used only all purpose flour because that's what I have. Almond milk and vegan because I was vegan until April of last year and still very much prefer my vegan ways. Dough didn't rise but I couldn't bake yesterday anyway so I didn't until this morning. I made it into milk pan rolls and used my bundt pan to bake them. I forgot to brush the tops with egg wash before baking and butter after but still turned out good and buttery! Even my picky husband and 11 year old had good things to say about it! Oh I think it didn't rise well because my granulated sweetener was BetterSweet, a combination of erythritol and monk fruit. I think that is the culprit. I'll use real cane sugar next time! Thanks again!

I'm sorry to hear that, not a problem I have had - I assume you removed the top layer of parchment and that it then stuck on the bottom? One option is if you have a silicone baking mat then use this as a bottom layer as you shouldn't have an issue with peeling that off. You could also use wax paper on the bottom, which again should release more easily. The only other option would be to completely cut the pieces before baking and place them on a lined baking sheet individually - you may end up with the crackers curling a little doing this, and you might have to watch on bake time as they may bake quicker, but they should be less likely to stick this way.

To a point, yes you probably could, but the challenge is then getting the right balance of liquid etc in the end recipe as it's not quite as simple as reduce down the liquid by x to put in the tangzhong paste, and then use x less liquid later on. It would need a bit of trial and error to get the right quantities.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed! Yes, it's definitely one you can adapt the amount of pumpkin to tasty, and pumpkin can vary in density, too. On the balsamic, I think it really works best with a well aged one, but I can see it might not be to all tastes.

Hi. This is Kant from Mumbai. I followed this recipe with Carnaroli and local orange coloured pumpkin and it turned out pretty well. To the Indian taste, we added little more pumpkin compared to the rice. Even though I love balsalmic I think it tasted better without it. Overall a superb recipe. Thank you!

I made two loaves -- one with a fruitcake mix and one with a raisin medley mix (golden, red, sultanas, etc). The raisin medley had gigantic raisins in it; the fruitcake mix was more UK style. Both loaves were delicious and ^very little^ difference in taste. Super easy recipe and very tasty. I will definitely make again.
