    Ingredients Instructions Notes I always look for ways to incorporate more Einkorn flour in my baking. It’s a big challenge with sourdough bread, but not here with these scones. It works perfectly well!!! The level of sweetness is just right for me. And it is so easy to adjust it to your own tastebuds! I…

    Ingredients Instructions Notes I stole this recipe a couple years ago from www.shelovesbiscotti.com and have improved it since. The original recipe calls for adding the almonds after the dry and wet ingredients have been combined. Because the dough is relatively dry, the almonds don’t incorporate well and separate from the batter easily when forming the…

    For a long time, I thought a good brand of store-bought sauerkraut is as healthy and as good as it gets. I was wrong. Most sauerkraut you buy in a store is made with vinegar as opposed to naturally fermented. It does not come close to homemade sauerkraut in taste or nutritional value. On top…

    This recipe started out as Marmorkuchen (marble cake). My mom used to bake it and it always was one of my favorites. We called it “Tassenrezeptkuchen” because we simply measured ingredients by cups, which is somewhat surprising to me (Germans don’t do that very often). Over the years, I have changed the recipe. The glaze…

    I always say: “When you meet perfection, don’t mess with it”. That’s why my favorite Almond Biscotti recipe has been unchanged for many years. No experimenting. I have baked countless batches with no or very little variation and shared them with family and friends. When I’m having an Espresso or Cappuccino, Biscotti are my go-to-snack.…

    Ingredients Instructions Notes I’ve always used my Apfelkuchen recipe and made Pflaumenuchen when plums are in season. This year here in Alabama we are having such good plums from Chilton County, that I’m baking more Pflaumenkuchen than usual, which gives me chance to experiment with the recipe. First, I was trying to reduce the sugar.…

    What makes an apple cake a French apple cake? I do not know. Well, this is a recipe I got from the people at Janie’s Mill. And I modified it, because I did not like the original version. Mine is much better now. I may keep experimenting with it, but for now it’s pretty good.…
