I’ve Seen Lavender Syrup And Lilac Sugar Trend So Here’s A Recipe Using One Of My Favorite Flowers/weeds,

Baked Cheesecake Donuts

For the doughnuts:

½ cup warm water

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast

4 large egg yolks

1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar

2 ½ (319 grams) cups all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon fine salt

4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature

¼ cup heavy cream

For the filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

¼ cup heavy cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted

Preparations:

Make the doughnut dough:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the water, zest, vanilla, yeast, eggs, and sugar. Gradually add in the flour then salt, mixing until absorbed. Add the butter and cream and beat on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or until a smooth sticky dough forms. Remove the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.

For the cheesecake filling:

Meanwhile, make the filling.

In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, cream, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Finish the doughnuts:

On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out to about ½-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds from the dough. Place on a large parchment-lined baking sheet spacing far apart. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the doughnuts for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool enough to be handled.

In a shallow dish combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Dip each warm doughnut in the melted butter, the coat in the cinnamon sugar.

Remove the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a long filling tip. Insert the tip into the side of a doughnut and squeeze the filling inside to fill. Repeat for the remaining doughnuts. Top each doughnut with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture then drizzle with jam.

Doughnuts are best served the day they’re made.

🌾🌻It’s Lammas! The first harvest! 🌻🌾

One of the nice things you can do to celebrate, is to bake bread or buns~! Since I’m going to grill with my friends today, i thought i’d make buns, because i’m going to be preparing burgers.

You will need:

for the dough:

320 g of wheat flour

120 ml of hot milk

one big egg

40 g of softened or melted butter

15 g of fresh yeast or 5 g of dry yeast

a teaspoon of sugar

a big pinch of salt

to lightly brush them before baking:

egg mixed with milk

Steps:

First of all get a big bowl and put all your dry stuff in it. (Except yeast if you’re using dry one) 

add an egg and butter

while you’re mixing it, put the milk in the microwave and measure out the yeast you need.

when the milk is still hot but not too hot (be careful, you can kill the yeast with too warm milk) mix it with yeast.

When milk and yeast becomes smooth liquid, add it to the dough 

And now you can use a mixer to knead the dough or just your hands. 

When you have finished dough, cover it with something and leave to rise for 60 minutes. 

After the 60 minutes, weigh the dough and make how many buns you’d like, put them on the baking sheet, and again

Leave them to rise for 30 to 40 minutes, they need to be covered!

Brush them lightly with the milk and egg mixture

Bake them! Heat your oven to 350F or 180C and bake them until they’re golden.

You can get creative with the toppings, you can make some more dough and make sun or flowers on top of them, to represent the harvest and the time of the year or as to represent a deity, you can add herbs of your choice on top, for example dried rosemary to bring happiness and protection, basil for confidence etc. 

But most importantly, Have fun and enjoy the sabbath! 💞

Fresh Strawberry and Cream Cheese Danish

INGREDIENTS:

2 sheet Puff Pastry dough, thawed

8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

½ tsp Almond Extract

4 Tbsp Sugar

1 ½ cup Fresh Strawberries, sliced

1 Tbsp Cornstarch

1 Egg + 2 Tablespoons water, whisked for egg wash

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together the strawberries and corn starch. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface roll out thawed puff pastry into a 12×9″ rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, yielding 2 4-½” strips. Cut those two strips crosswise into thirds, to yield six 4×4 ½” pieces.With a knife, score ½” border around the edge of each piece of puff pastry. Use a fork to make five or six pricks into the dough within the border of each piece. This will help keep the middle of each piece from rising.

In a bowl, stir together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla and almond. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture into the middle of each piece of dough and spread around evenly, ensuring the mix stays within the borders.

In the middle of the cream cheese, add a couple of spoonfuls of strawberries into the middle.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, on the middle rack and rotate the baking sheet half way through baking. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or room temperature. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Shave chocolate over the top as well, if desired.

The types of teas and their general benefits they offer to our bodies!

I prefer herbal teas and green/white teas. Growing up as a child, I was always exposed to black tea with milk. It was my favorite, and was soothing. Even though caffeinated, I never felt it and I'd drop asleep with the milk and honey mixed in.

Misha is the parent I’m going to be.
