Easy Homemade Apple Fritters

Easy Homemade Apple Fritters

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup chopped apple

Glaze:
•2 cups powdered sugar
•1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon. Stir in milk and egg until just combined. Fold in apple. Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1 1/2 deep. Heat oil on high. Oil is ready when a little dough thrown in floats to top. Carefully add dough to oil in heaping teaspoons. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack. Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over apple fritters. Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side. Best served warm.

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Deep-Fried Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

• 
  
• 1 lb strawberries, generously hulled
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp confectioner’s sugar, plus more to dust
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c. self-rising flour
• 6 oz. beer (one used Dogfish Head’s Tweason’ale, which already has a hint of strawberry)
• oil to fry

Combine cream cheese, 1/2 c. confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth, and pipe into hollows left from hulling the strawberries. (I use a huller that resembles a tiny melon baller with teeth! It’s great for saving the stem end of tomatoes, too.) 

Refrigerate for an hour or more. (You could also stick them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, but don’t forget them in there!) 

In another bowl, combine self-rising flour, 1 tbsp. confectioner’s sugar and one half (6 oz.) of a can or bottle of beer, whisking together until smooth. 

Heat oil in a deep fryer, or several inches of oil in a deep pan on the stove, to 350°F. 

Coat each stuffed berry well with the beer batter before dropping into the hot oil, and cook until just lightly golden brown.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

Ingredients

For the cookie dough filling
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips


For the Ganache
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup heavy cream

Optional (Original) Topping:
1 c. creamy peanut butter
2/3 c. milk chocolate chips

 

Instructions

1. Start by lining a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch square pan with a sheet of parchment paper, making sure that the edges of the paper are large enough to extend up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix until well combined.
3. With the mixer on a low speed, alternate adding in the flour and the sweetened condensed milk until all of it has been added and the mixture is completely blended. Fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand until evenly blended.
4. Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan and press down to spread the dough evenly to the edges. (I found it helpful to put a piece of plastic wrap over the dough while I pressed down.)
5. Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm – at least 3 hours or overnight.
6. The next day, prepare the ganache at least a few hours before serving. In microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and cream. Heat on high for one minute and stir the chocolate chips and cream together. Continue heating in 30 second increments and stirring after each until the chocolate chips are fully melted and combined with the cream. [For optional topping, combine the peanut butter and milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until smooth.]
7. Pour the ganache over the cookie dough bars, spreading evenly to the edges of the bars. Chill the bars for a least one hour or until the ganache is set.
8. When ready to serve, carefully pull up on the edges of the parchment paper and remove the chilled cookie dough from the pan. Using a long knife, cut the dough into bite-sized bars and serve.

Oreo Cream Cheese Cookies!!

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup mini dark chocolate chips
2 cups Oreo crumbles

Preheat oven to 375, line a cookie sheet with parchment. I have found that parchment keeps the cookies from spreading too much, as they tend to do on a greased pan or a silpat.

In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and cream cheese until thoroughly combined.

Add sugar and vanilla, mix well.

Add flour one cup at a time and mix on low just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.

Pour Oreo crumbles into a bowl. Scoop dough out and roll into roughly 1.5" balls, then roll in cookie crumbles, coating thoroughly. Be sure to cover the dough balls really well in crumbs, as this is what holds the cookie together while baking.

Space cookies about 1-2" apart on sheet. Bake on center rack about 14-15 minutes and allow to cool on sheet several minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

Homemade Krispy Kremes

Homemade Krispy Kremes

— Yes, this is the actual recipe!

 

Ingredients:
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp boiling water
1 tsp dry active yeast
8 oz all purpose flour (a little under 2 cups - I recommend you measure and weigh. See note below)
1 1/2 oz sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
1 egg
1 oz butter, cold to room temperature (just don't melt it, okay?)
dash of salt
Enough oil to cover the bottom few inches of a wok, or a deep fryer.

Directions:
In a large measuring jug, combine the milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate (aka foam).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the sugar, and the salt. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry blender, until it resembles crumbs.
Add the egg (give it a quick beat) and yeast mixture to the flour mix, and mix into a smooth dough. This usually takes about 5 minutes of mixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes—it should feel springy and little bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about an hour until double in size.
Once risen, place the dough onto the counter and cut it into 4 pieces. One piece at a time, stretch it into a long rope about an inch to an inch and a half wide. Cut strips about an inch long, ball 'em up with your hands, and place them on a baking tray or wire rack to wait.
Cover the doughnuts holes with a cloth to rise while you heat the oil to 375F.
Place the doughnuts into the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure to fry only a few at a time so they don’t overcrowd and stick together.
Drain on a paper towel or wire rack over a cloth, before glazing them. Be sure to glaze them warm, or else they won’t get that delicious coverage!

Glaze:
1/3 cup butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons hot water, or as needed

A brief note: I recommend a scale, as not all flours (and cup measurements) are made equal.
2 cups of my Canadian flour in my Canadian cups on my scale might be more or less than yours.
If you don't have a scale, start at 1 1/2 cups and work your way up from there.

Turtle Fudge

Turtle Fudge

Makes 25-36 “fudge size” pieces

• 2 cups high-quality semi-sweet chocolate morsels
• 1 cup high quality milk chocolate morsels (or you can use 3 cups of semi-sweet total, and omit the milk choc, but the milk chocolate adds an amazing flavor)
• 1 – 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk (I use Eagle Brand)
• 3.5 oz marshmallow cream (half of a jar, just eyeball it)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 30 unwrapped caramels, a little over 8 oz.
• about 2 cups whole or chopped pecans (whole pecans are pictured in photo)
• Non-stick spray

Directions:
Spray an 8×8 or 9×9 pan generously with non-stick spray, or line it with parchment like I do. Make sure that you go up the sides with your parchment as well, so that later you can pull it up and remove your fudge easily. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine all chocolate chips, add 3/4 can of sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat (about 10-15 mins). Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla, stir. Add marshmallow cream, stir vigorously until smooth. You may have to return it to low heat for a minute or two, to get it completely smooth again. Turn off heat. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into prepared pan, doesn’t have to be exact. Leave the remaining 1/2 of your chocolate in the saucepan on your warm stove (make sure stove is off)
Sprinkle pecans evenly across the top of your chocolate, lightly press pecans into fudge. Don’t press them too far in, you want to see them later when you cut your fudge. (Also, you only want only a single layer of pecans, if you double them up, the fudge won’t hold together.) Place pan in refrigerator (or freezer) to set up. About 10-15 minutes.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine unwrapped caramels and the rest of your sweetened condensed milk, (1/4 can) Heat on low and stir until melted and smooth. Pour most of the caramel evenly over fudge layer. Reserve 2 tablespoons for drizzling later. Place in refrigerator for 15 mins to set up. (or freezer)
Re-heat reserved 1/2 of your chocolate and stir until smooth again. Pour/Spread over caramel layer. Place in fridge to set for 5 minutes.
Re-melt your leftover caramel on the stove and drizzle it over the top of your fudge. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting, slice into even squares and devour immediately. ENJOY my friends!

Braided Nutella Bread

 

Making a delicious desert is so hard because you are tempted to eat it before you actually finish the product. Take this test of patience and skill, in order to enjoy a slice of delicious chocolate bread. It’s a lot easier to make than it looks and even if you’re not a specialist in the kitchen, you will surely make your friends drool when they see what tasty bread you made. Make sure you have:

• two and a half (2 1/2) cups of all purpose flour;
• a half (1/2) of teaspoon of yeast;
• a (1) cup of water;
• a (1) teaspoon of salt;
• a (1) tablespoon of sugar;
• some Nutella;
• cornmeal;
• one (1) egg;

Start by dissolving yeast with a quarter of a cup filled water, poured into a small bowl. Take another bowl, and while you let the yeast rest for 10 minutes, mix in – with the use of a stand mixer – the appropriate amount of flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast and mix at a low speed. Smoothly turn the speed to medium and keep turning for 7 minutes.

Get another bowl and lightly oil it and place the dough you recently made in there. Cover it with a plastic wrap and in about an hour of sitting in a warm place it will double in size.

Roll some of the dough in order to make a circle. Careful you leave enough because you’ll have to make another circle in a few minutes. Take the Nutella (be careful to take it out the fridge for a while so it would be easy to spread; you could also microwave it for 30 seconds to be sure) and pour an even layer on the surface, but leaving half an inch of margin of dough all around.

The next step is to place another roll off dough (Nutella free) on top. Afterward, place it on a parchment-lined or silicon-lined baking sheet. It’s advised you sprinkle the sheet beforehand with cornmeal. Use a knife to cut the dough down the middle, but keeping one end intact. Look at the image for guideline.

By turning the cut side toward the top, twist the ends of the dough overtop each other. Do this for every cut you made. For the next 20 minutes, let your future bread sit in a dry place, but make sure you cover it with plastic wrap. In the meantime, prepare the oven. Set it to 350°F. Before placing the dough in, brush it with some egg wash. Then, bake at this temperature for about 20 minutes. To get that lightly brown look and taste on top, raise to 425°F and bake for another 5-7 minutes. It’s done! Let it cool before serving.
