    Fluffy Baked Sufganiot (doughnut)

    November 10, 2013

    Rich, fluffy baked doughnuts which can be filled with anything you like… Makes approx. 14 medium-sized doughnuts. Tip from Tami Ben-David (who was the first to try this recipe): you can braid this dough into a sweet Challah of your choosing, brush with egg, preheat your oven to 200C/390F, bake for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 175C/350F and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Ingredients 500 gr. Tagmish Gluten-Free flour (or plain flour, if you don’t need a GF version) 10 gr. dry yeast ½ cup sugar 80 gr. melted butter 420 ml. warm milk (375 ml. if you’re not making the GF version).

    Layered Mousse Cake

    November 7, 2013

    This mousse cake is made up of a base, and a triple amount of any of the following chocolate mousse options. It can be a triple amount of the same kind, or one layer of each. You can make single-serving cakes, or even just one of them as a mousee, with no base. It’s not a lot of work, you just need 3-4 hours freezing between layers.

    Vered’s Honey Muffins or Cake

    September 2, 2013

    If you follow this blog, you know there’s a lot more recipe-writing than blogging going on, but as my son said these are the best baked goods he’s ever had when he first tasted them, I think I need to pay special tribute to the recipe’s source. I have been fortunate enough to get to know a lovely lady, whose son attends the same class as mine. Last year at this time (Rosh Hashana) she made the class her Honey Muffins… My son demanded (and nagged) that I call her up that same day, and ask for the recipe. The first time I made them, I didn’t get the texture…

    Happy Rosh Hashana

    August 30, 2013

    My Rosh Hashana Meal… I’ve put together a collection of my recipes that seem particularly appropriate for Rosh Hashana. Of course, during the holidays, like any good Jew, we go overboard with our selection and amounts, but I think this is a good basis to build a great, festive meal around. For our non-Jewish followers – you can make these just because they’re yummy 🙂 Have a great holiday! May all you prepare for your loved ones turn out as great as the love it was made with, may you be full but not stuffed, may no calorie remain in your body after the holiday, may someone else do the…
