    Classic Homemade Pound Cake

    Table of Contents

    Pound cake is a timeless dessert that has graced many tables over generations. Known for its dense and rich texture, this classic cake is a delightful treat that is simple to make yet incredibly satisfying. Perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a special celebration, or a casual tea time snack, pound cake remains a favorite. The beauty of pound cake lies in its simplicity and the ability to pair it with various toppings or enjoy it plain.

    Ingredients:
    • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
    • 3 cups granulated sugar
    • 6 large eggs, at room temperature
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    Instructions:
    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
    2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This process can take about 5 minutes and is crucial for a light texture.
    3. Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures that each egg is thoroughly incorporated into the batter.
    4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
    5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
    6. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
    7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    8. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    9. Serve: Slice the pound cake and serve it plain or with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

  • Delicious Weekend Potato and Mozzarella Tortilla Stack

    Delicious Weekend Potato and Mozzarella Tortilla Stack

    Delicious Weekend Potato and Mozzarella Tortilla Stack

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • Potatoes: 2, peeled and diced
    • Salt: To taste
    • Oil: For frying
    • Onion: 1, finely chopped
    • Fresh Parsley: To taste, chopped
    • Mozzarella Cheese: 3.5 oz (100 g), grated
    • Tortillas: 6

    Instructions

    1. Preparing the Stuffing

    Cooking the Potatoes and Onion

    • Boil Potatoes: Start by placing the diced potatoes in a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt. Cook the potatoes until they are tender, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Once tender, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.
    • Fry Onion: While the potatoes are boiling, heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and fry until it turns golden brown, which will take about 5-7 minutes. The golden-brown onions will add a sweet and savory depth to the filling.

    Combine Ingredients

    • Mix Potatoes and Onions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes and the fried onions. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the mixture, leaving some texture. You want a mix of smooth and chunky pieces for the filling.

    2. Adding Flavor

    • Herbal Twist: Finely chop a handful of fresh parsley and add it to the potato and onion mixture. The parsley adds a fresh, herby note that brightens the dish.
    • Cheesy Goodness: Mix in the grated mozzarella cheese (3.5 oz / 100 g) into the potato mixture. The mozzarella will melt beautifully when cooked, adding a gooey, cheesy element that pairs perfectly with the savory potatoes.

    3. Preparation of Tortillas

    • Warm Up: To make the tortillas pliable and easier to work with, lightly heat them in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds. This step ensures that the tortillas won’t tear when you spread the filling.

    4. Assembly

    • Spread Filling: Take one tortilla and generously spread a portion of the prepared potato and mozzarella stuffing over it. Be sure to spread the filling evenly to the edges.
    • Layering: Place another tortilla on top of the filling, pressing down gently to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling to create stacks.

    5. Frying

    • Cheese Topping: Before frying, sprinkle some extra shredded mozzarella over the top tortilla in each stack. This will create a deliciously crispy, cheesy layer when fried.
    • Golden Crispness: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tortilla stack in the skillet. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The cheese will melt and the tortilla will become beautifully crisp.

    6. Serving

    • Cut and Serve: Once fried, transfer the tortilla stack to a cutting board and let it cool for a minute. Cut the stack into triangles, similar to cutting a pizza, making it easy to share and enjoy.
    • Enjoyment: Serve the tortilla stack warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad on the side. The combination of crispy tortilla, creamy potatoes, and melted mozzarella is simply irresistible.

    For the Coating:

    1 cup (100 g) all-purpose flour
    2 large eggs, beaten
    2 cups (200 g) panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
    For Frying:

    Vegetable oil, for frying

    Instructions:

    Ezoic

    1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    Cook the Potatoes:
    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
    Mash the Potatoes:
    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
    2. Make the Potato Mixture:
    Combine Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley (if using), salt, and black pepper.
    Form the Sticks:
    Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into sticks, about 3-4 inches long and ½ inch thick. Place the formed sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    3. Coat the Potato Sticks:
    Prepare Coating Stations:
    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
    Coat the Sticks:
    Dredge each potato stick in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the sticks to adhere well.
    4. Fry the Potato Sticks:
    Heat the Oil:
    In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. If it sizzles and bubbles, the oil is ready.
    Fry the Sticks:
    Fry the coated potato sticks in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
    5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve Warm:
    Serve the Potato Cheese Sticks warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or spicy ketchup.
    Tips for Success:
    Avoid Overcrowding: Fry the potato sticks in batches to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
    Make Ahead: You can prepare the potato sticks and freeze them before frying. To cook from frozen, fry them directly from the freezer, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
    Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning in the potato mixture to your taste. Feel free to add herbs or spices for extra flavor.
    Conclusion
    Potato Cheese Sticks are a crunchy and cheesy treat that’s perfect for any occasion. With a crispy exterior and a gooey cheese-filled interior, these sticks are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you’re serving them as an appetizer or enjoying them as a snack, they offer a satisfying blend of flavors and textures that are hard to resist.

  • Homemade Milk-Free Lentil Cheese Recipe

    Homemade Milk-Free Lentil Cheese Recipe

    Homemade Milk-Free Lentil Cheese Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • Lentils: 1 cup (200 grams / 7 oz)
    • Water: 4 cups (950 ml)
    • Salt: 1 teaspoon
    • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)

    Instructions

    Step 1: Soak the Lentils

    1. Soak Overnight: Place the lentils in a large bowl and add enough water to cover them completely. Let them soak for a day (24 hours). This soaking process helps soften the lentils, making them easier to blend and digest.

    Step 2: Drain and Rinse

    1. Drain the Lentils: After soaking, drain the lentils using a fine mesh strainer. Rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any residue.

    Step 3: Blend the Lentils

    1. Blend to a Smooth Mixture: Transfer the drained lentils into a blender. Add 4 cups (950 ml) of fresh water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. This step is crucial to achieving a cheese-like texture.

    Step 4: Cook the Lentil Mixture

    1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil over medium heat.
    2. Cook the Lentil Mixture: Pour the blended lentil mixture into the pot with the heated oil. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Continue to stir and cook until the mixture thickens significantly and pulls away from the sides of the pot, resembling a thick paste.

    Step 5: Cool and Set

    1. Transfer to a Mold: Once thickened, transfer the cooked lentil mixture into a bowl or a mold lined with parchment paper. Smooth the top with a spatula.
    2. Cool to Room Temperature: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap or a lid.

    Step 6: Chill in the Refrigerator

    1. Refrigerate: Place the cooled lentil cheese in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 24 hours. This step helps the cheese firm up, making it easy to slice.

    Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

    1. Slice and Serve: After the cheese has set in the refrigerator, remove it from the mold. Slice it into desired shapes and serve as a snack, in sandwiches, or as a side dish.

    Tips for the Best Lentil Cheese

    • Flavor Enhancements: Add herbs, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, or spices to the lentil mixture before cooking for extra flavor. Nutritional yeast can give a cheesy flavor that enhances the experience.
    • Texture Adjustments: For a firmer cheese, cook the mixture a bit longer until it thickens more. For a softer, spreadable cheese, reduce the cooking time slightly.
    • Storing: Store the lentil cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 5 days.

    Ingredients

    Combine together

    Ezoic

    2½ tsp active dry yeast
    2 Tbsp warm water
    1/2 tsp granulated sugar
    Mix with a mixer
    3¼ cups all-purpose flour

    Proof yeast: Stir 2 tbsp warm water, 1/2 tsp sugar & 2 1/2tsp active dry yeast in a tall glass. Leave to rise for 5-10 minutes or until doubled in volume and foamy. If it does not rise and foam up, discard the yeast and buy a fresh batch of yeast before you proceed with the recipe.

    Make donut dough: Mix together 3 1/4 cups flour, 1 cup warm milk, 2 oz room temperature butter, 3 yolks, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the proofed yeast mixture in mixer on low speed, with the dough hook attachment until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes. Slightly increase the speed and knead for another 15-20 minutes or until the dough is tacky to touch. If you continue kneading past the point of smooth and stretchy dough, the dough will overknead and make doughy donuts, so keep a close eye on the dough.

    EzoicShape donut dough: Pick up the dough, form it into a ball. Butter a large bowl (for proofing), place the dough ball back in the greased bowl, then grease the dough ball itself to prevent it from forming a crust.

    Proof: Cover with a clean kitchen towel, place in a warm draft-free place and allow to rise for 1-2 hours (depending on how warm it is) until at least doubled in volume.

    Cut out 5″x5″ squares of parchment or wax paper.

    Punch down the dough, turn it out onto the greased surface (can use nonstick spray) and roll it to ½ inches thickness. Cut out as many rounds as possible with a 3 inch round cookie cutter and place 1 dough disk on 1 piece of prepared parchment paper. Keep re-rolling and cutting out as many donut disks as you can until all donut dough is used up.

    Cover cut out doughnuts with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise for 45 min to 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Heat 1½ inches oil in a heavy pot (cast iron) to 350F. To fry donuts, drop several of them at a time and allow to become golden before turning to the other side, about 1-2 minutes per side.

    INGREDIENTS

    For the dough:
    500g (4 cups) of flour
    7g of dry yeast
    25g (2 tbsp) of sugar
    240ml (1 cup) of milk
    60ml (1/4 cup) of vegetable oil
    Vanilla extract
    40g (2 tbsp) of honey
    1 egg
    1 tsp of salt
    Orange (zest)
    For the brushing:
    Egg + milk
    For the cream:
    360ml (1 1/2 cups) of heavy cream
    30g (1/4 cup) of powdered sugar
    Vanilla extract
    METHOD
    1. In a bowl with the flour add the yeast and sugar and whisk. Add the milk, oil, vanilla essence, honey, egg, salt, and orange (zest) and mix all together well.
    2. Mix until dough is formed. Knead the dough until smooth, soft, and elastic. Cover the bowl with cling film and let it rise for 1 hour, or until double in volume.
    3. After time has elapsed divide the dough into 12 pieces (about 80 grams), and roll each piece into a ball. Arrange the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them to rise. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
    4. After the buns are doubled in volume brush them with egg and milk. Transfer to the oven and bake at 180°C/360°F for 15 minutes. Allow cooling completely.
    5. In a bowl whip heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag.
    6. Slice each bun across the top, without cutting the base. Fill each bun with the cream and smooth it out with a knife.
    7. Transfer to the serving plate, decorate with powdered sugar, and serve.

    How to Make Easy Homemade Bread

    Recipe Ingredients:

    500 grams (about 18 ounces) of all-purpose flour
    1½ cups of warm milk
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon of salt
    2 tablespoons of sugar
    1 sachet of baking powder (about 10 grams or 0.35 ounces)
    2 tablespoons of butter.

    Instructions:

    Start by placing all the ingredients except the flour into a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth mixture.
    Gradually add the flour to the blender mixture, mixing well until you form a dough. This should take about 15 minutes.
    Pour the dough into a greased and floured baking pan, spreading it evenly. Let it rest for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in volume.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the dough with a mixture of beaten egg and a little milk.
    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, then remove from the pan. Serve as desired.
