Buttermilk biscuits. Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits. Ahhhh…. Those words that conjure up all sorts a’ warm happy thoughts and feelings, yeah? I mean, who doesn’t drool endlessly over a fresh-from-the-oven biscuit?! I know, I have a bucket next to me as I write this knowing full well…slobber slobber. And then, add some cheeeeeese? Whoa. Jeez […]
We’ve been so fabulously seasonal lately here on Flaky Bakers, with our Blueberry Cheesecake Pie, Fresh Blueberry Pie, and (for our furry family members) Peanut Butter and Blueberry Pupcakes. As blueberry season is winding down, it seemed only right to head into zucchini season with a zucchini bread recipe. Last fall, my friend Kayte had […]
Becky: (opens microwave [our dog-proof baked-good storage hiding place when we leave the house], removes plate, turns and holds in front of husband, light magically emanates from said plate) Mike: (loooooonnnng stare) (long stare) Mike: Uhh…. Becky: (quietly holding glowing plate) Mike: You should not be allowed to bake. (pause, stare) Mike: You should be […]
Quiche is one of my absolute FAVORITE things, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s the perfect food—chock full of protein, fully customizable to your particular tastes, and ridiculously easy. Like why-don’t-I-just-make-this-every-week easy. I mean, you make a pie crust (or buy one, that’s totally okay), prebake it, mix together eggs, milk, cheese, and what-have-you, […]
Despite the miles between, it appears Jen and I share the same baking brain. Jen with her fabulously flexible Everyday Basic Muffins and then me with Cinnamon Sugar Breakfast Puffs. Huh. Guess we’ve got breakfast goodies on the brain! Please tell me you’ve already baked Jen’s Maple Coffee Cake with Oat Streusel and are in […]
In my house, maple syrup is akin to liquid gold and the ONLY kind of maple syrup is Vermont maple syrup. (This is what happens when you marry a Real Vermonter.) The first time I made this recipe was as muffins, and Steve looked slightly panicked, slightly accusatory that I’d used maple syrup in baking. […]
Suddenly it seems I have a mountain of things I feel the need to share with you Right.Now. Soooo many things! How do I pick?! I’m all a’-tizzy, what to do?! And I apologize, there’s not much healthy about these. shrug I suspect you’ll forgive me. These are hands down, probably the most insane thing […]
I love these scones. Love love love love love. And love is probably an understatement. Is this the best scone recipe out in the world? Um. I dunno actually as I made these once and I have never made any other, that’s how much I love them. Which is funny too as I have about […]
How…. How did…. How did I get this far in life and not know such a thing existed? An outrageous gi-gundo cinnamon roll?! Holy cats and dogs, people. Ok it is a bit embarrassing, this thing. In its over the top-ness. It’s….it is a bit nuts. Ok probably a lot nuts. Ok way nuts. But […]
A couple of weeks ago, the kids and I had plans to go sledding with friends, and I wanted to bake something to bring. “I’m in the mood for cinnamon coffee cake,” the thirteen year old said, and since I am nothing if not easily influenced, suddenly *I* was in the mood for it, too. […]
