Salted Caramel bunds Cake

Borrowed and Shareing Salted Caramel Mini Apple Cake Bundts Salted Caramel Mini Apple Cake Bundts What now? Going on instinct alone, I put it back on the stove, on a very low heat, and stirred like mad for quite a long time. It was working, though, and the solid mass was getting smaller and smaller. I did add a tablespoon of butter just to give it a good glossy finish, the way I do with savory sauces, and a good hit of sea salt since salted caramel is much better than regular caramel. And...I had caramel! Really, really tasty caramel. Much better than anything I'd ever tasted from a jar. Later, I researched where I'd gone wrong and found that my cream was much too cold compared to the sugar. The temperature difference caused the seize and, in future, I should heat my cream. So, learn from my mistake, heat your cream and make this sauce. Pour it over this cake or any other cake or on ice cream or just grab a big spoon because this stuff is goooood. Enjoy! Ingredients Apple Cakes: 1 Stick unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 Cups sugar 1 Teaspoon vanilla 3 Eggs 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour 1 Teaspoon baking powder 1 Cup sour cream 1/2 Teaspoon salt 1 Golden Delicious apple (or your favorite), peeled, cored and diced Salted Caramel Sauce: 1 Cup sugar 1 Pint heavy cream, warmed 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 Teaspoon sea salt Salted Caramel Mini Apple Cake Bundts Add the eggs and sugar to a large bowl and beat together until creamed. Beat in the vanilla and the butter followed by the sour cream. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and slowly beat into the batter. Gently fold in the apple pieces. Butter and flour 6 mini bundt pans and divide the batter equally into each. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing the cakes from the pans. Make the sauce by melting the sugar in a pot over a low to medium flame. Do not stir. When the sugar has completely dissolved, remove it from the heat and add the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up. Return to a low heat and stir vigorously until all lumps are gone and the sauce is a light golden brown. Finish with the butter and sea salt and remove from the heat. When the cakes have cooled, pour the caramel sauce over each cake and serve the remainder on the side. This recipe makes 6 mini bundt cakes but may be doubled to make one, 12 cup, bundt.

Toasted chopped almonds 1/2 c. toasted chopped pecans Flaky sea salt, for garnish DIRECTIONS In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Let butter melt and then cook, stirring constantly with a spatula (so the butter and sugar don't separate!), until mixture turns a dark amber, 12 to 15 minutes. (This can take closer to 20 minutes if you're heat is not high enough. Increase the heat and keep stirring until the color turns. Don't give up! If you'd like to use a candy thermometer for this step, attach it to the saucepan and cook until the temperature reaches 285º, or hard crack stage.) Toffee mixture should be dark in color and very thick. Pour toffee mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately top all over with chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes so chocolate begins to melt, then spread chocolate all over with a spatula to create a layer on top of toffee. Sprinkle all over with almonds and pecans (use chopped crumbs too for nice texture!) and flaky sea salt. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, then cut or break into pieces and serve. DELISH TIPS - It may take longer than 15 minutes for your mixture to turn amber. Turn up the heat and keep stirring! It will change. - Butter and sugar separation can happen when you don't stir the mixture frequently enough. Let the butter melt and the sugar dissolve and then get to it! - Make sure your toffee mixture is a dark amber before you take it off the heat. If it's lighter in color, that means the mixture has not reached the "hard crack" stage and will be closer to a caramel sauce.

Lemon melt in your mouth butter cookies

Borrowed , and Shareing with
 linkback information

Deliciousness made with all-natural flavoring—triple lemon! Melt-in-your-mouth Lemon Gooey Butter Cookies at their finest and from scratch. What could be better? Our recipe was reverse engineered from standard recipes for Gooey Butter Cookies calling for boxed yellow cake mix. The result is simply a sublime buttery, light and tender-crumbed cookie sweetened just right and full of lemon flavor including an enchanting tang from cream cheese. You just can’t have one! Included is a scrumptious and irresistible gluten free variation. Everyone loves these classic cookies inspired by the cream cheese variant of Gooey Butter Cake hailing from the 1930s in the USA Midwest—St. Louis!

Ingredients

• 2¼ cups (270 grams) organic all-purpose flour, such as King Arthur Flour®
• 2 teaspoons (about 8 grams) baking powder
• 1 (8-ounce/226-gram) package cream cheese, such as Philadelphia®, softened
• ½ cup (1 stick/113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
• 1½ cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons (12 grams) freshly grated lemon zest, from 2 large lemons
• 1½ tablespoons (22.5 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon (a few drops) lemon oil, such as Boyajian® -Omit for gluten-free variation.
• 1/8 teaspoon natural yellow gel based food coloring, such as CHEFMASTER®
• 1 teaspoon (5 grams) kosher salt, or ¾ teaspoon regular table salt
• 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk (mine weighed 71 grams w/o shells)
• 1 cup (120 grams) confectioners’ sugar, sifted, for rolling & dusting cookies

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder until well blended. Set aside.

Using an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, or handheld electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and butter until well blended, creamy and smooth. Beat in sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, lemon oil, food coloring and salt; mix until well combined, light and fluffy, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula when necessary. Add egg and egg yolk and beat in well until creamy and light, about 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed.

On low speed, gradually add flour mixture and mix until just fully incorporated. Dough will be very sticky. Cover work bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, arrange oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 325ºF (165ºC). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Place confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl; set aside.

Measure enough dough to roll into generous 1-inch balls, using a 1 1/3-inch spring-loaded cookie scoop (or by measuring a generous tablespoon of dough with a measuring spoon) making sure each scoopful is in equal amounts. This is important for evenly baked cookies.

Roll dough between palms of hands to achieve a small rounded ball and then roll in confectioners’ sugar to lightly coat. Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.

Bake in preheated oven until cookies have spread into round cookie shapes and are puffed and crackly, about 14 minutes. Do not overbake. The cookies will still be soft in the centers. If they start to brown around the edges, they have baked too long. The underside of the cookies should be only very lightly browned.

Transfer to wire rack and allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet. Once completely cooled, carefully remove cookies from baking sheet using a thin metal cookie spatula and transfer to an airtight container. Repeat with remaining dough on prepared cookie sheets.

If desired, chill the cookies in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Before serving, dust cookies with additional confectioners’ sugar. Serve cookies chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Tips:

Only use completely cooled cookie sheets lined with a fresh sheet of parchment paper before baking each batch.

Avoid crowding the cookies on baking sheets by spacing apart at least by 2 inches.

How to Measure All-Purpose Flour for this Recipe: This tip is provided for bakers who do not own a kitchen scale and will be measuring flour by volume rather than by weight. First, aerate flour by stirring it in the container. Then, simply spoon flour into measuring cup and level off the top with the straight edge of a metal icing spatula. (The straight edge of a knife from a flatware set can be used as well.) This should yield about 120 grams per 1 cup of flour. Use a sheet of wax paper as a liner on your work surface to measure flour so that the excess can easily be funneled back into flour bag or container.

How to Measure King Arthur Flour® Gluten Free Multi-Purpose Flour for this Recipe: There is no need to aerate the flour. Simply spoon flour into measuring cup and level off the top with the straight edge of a metal icing spatula. (The straight edge of a knife from a flatware set can be used as well.) This should yield about 160 grams per 1 cup of gluten free flour. Use a sheet of wax paper as a liner on your work surface to measure flour so that the excess can easily be funneled back into flour bag or container.

These tender cookies taste fabulous when served either at room temperature or chilled from the fridge.

Cookies will keep for up to 1 week covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Total time above does not include time for refrigerating dough before baking.

Variation:

For Gluten-Free Lemon Gooey Butter Cookies: Substitute 2¼ cups (360 grams) King Arthur Flour® Gluten Free Multi-Purpose Flour and 1¼ teaspoons (3.5 grams) guar gum, such as by Now Foods, for the regular all-purpose wheat flour called for in the recipe. Whisk together until well blended and then continue with recipe by whisking in the baking powder. Also, omit pure lemon oil. See Important Food Allergy Note below.

IMPORTANT FOOD ALLERGY NOTE: Omit pure lemon oil to make Gluten-Free Lemon Gooey Butter Cookies as Boyajian® Citrus Oil Collection is processed on equipment shared with peanut oil, soy and wheat.

2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 to 1 cup M&M's, chopped nuts or sliced almonds

Onion Bombs

1 hr · 

Onion Bombs

Ingredients:
large onions
ground meat or turkey
seasonings to taste (mine were like meatloaf tasting)
tin foil

Directions:
Peel your onions and cut them in half as equally as possible.

Prepare your meatballs how you want them-- I used italian seasoning, oregano, chili powder, minced garlic, ketchup, worcestershire sauce and some bread crumbs

Size your meatballs so that they can be squished between two pieces of onions. Some meat will push out the ends and that is okay!!! Just make them as compact as possible!!

Wrap each onion bomb in tinfoil-- might want to double them since they'll be tossed in the fire! Make sure not to poke holes in the foil!!

Toss in the fire and try to get them in the coals

Cook for about 10 minutes, flip em around and cook another 10 minutes or so!!!

This is considered an old Southern “hard times” pie. It’s made with simple ingredients and it’s pure heaven. Jeff and Gracie just love it, and it’s fantastic served at room temperature or chilled.

1 prebaked 9-inch pie shell

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 and 1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 stick (1/4 pound) unsalted butter

3 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Bake pie crust at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a baking sheet to cool a bit while you mix up the other ingredients. Keep the oven on.

Blend flour with sugar and salt, whisk in the melted butter (that is liquified but not sizzling. If it’s really hot, let it cool a bit before whisking in.) Beat the eggs and whisk them in. Add the buttermilk, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour into the baked pie shell. Slide the pie, still on the baking sheet, into the oven on a rack that has been placed in the lower third of the oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes at 350, or until a knife inserted in the pie comes clean. The center of the pie will still be a bit jiggly but will set up when cool. Cool on a wire rack.
