Grandma's Famous Cinnamon Rolls November 21st, 2017
This is the best cinnamon roll recipe in the world. My Mother made these rolls for years, as an "undocumented" family recipe. Here it is at last, recorded for posterity.

Pomegranate Molasses April 4th, 2021
Pomegranate Molasses is a traditional Middle-Eastern cooking and finishing sauce for lamb and other meats. Most recipes add sugar (and then lemon juice, to offset the super sweetness) in order to thicken the molasses more easily. This recipe is the traditional method for Pomegranate Molasses, containing only a single ingredient: Pomegranate Juice. A few drops of Pomegranate Molasses can be added to Ginger Ale to make a sweet-sour Shirley Temple or it can be drizzled over vanilla ice cream for a fruity treat.
Raspberry Dutch Baby Pancake April 5th, 2025
Dutch Baby Pancakes are a fun and tasty breakfast treat. But adding a drizzle of Raspberry Syrup, just before it goes in the oven will create the perfect sweet breakfast. A proper rise is accomplished by cooking the Dutch Baby rapidly. For best results, ensure that the pan is well heated, and that the batter is room temperature, before it is poured into the pan.
Raspberry Yogurt Flognarde November 30th, 2022
Flognarde or Flonarde (pronounced /floo-nyard/) is a French fruit dessert, traditionally made with a stiff custard, almost like flan. Flognarde can include wheat flour, or corn starch. While Flognarde is traditionally made with milk and cream, I have found Greek Yogurt to provide the perfect low-fat replacement. For additional flavor variations, you can also replace the raspberries with other fruits or berries, like apples, pear, blackberries, etc. If you use black cherries, the dish is called Clafoutis (pronounced /kla-fu-ti/).
Sheetpan Pancake July 10th, 2022
These oven-baked sheet pan Pancakes are the perfect versatile breakfast treat. If you are using Blueberries, mixing them into the batter will dye your batter a blueish-gray color. This can be prevented by dropping in each Blueberry after all the mixing and pouring is complete. The Flavorings in this recipe can be replaced with any other Pancake add-in: Strawberries, Chocolate and Caramel, Candies, whatever you like.
Vanilla Cocoa Magic Cake with Berries February 12th, 2022
Magic Cake is a easy recipe that you can create in less than 90 minutes. As the cake bakes, the heavier egg yolks and milk will settle to the bottom of the pan, creating a rich, custard-like texture, while the lighter egg whites will float to the top and provide a lighter, fluffy topping. The powdered sugar, cacao powder and berries provide an additional complexity to the flavor. The final result is a simple desert that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, creating a complicated dish. The initial recipe, using only vanilla extract for flavoring, is an excellent desert. However, you can optionally add additional flavorings and make it chocolate flavored, butterscotch, cinnamon, butterscotch, even Nutella.
