Pear and Frangipane Tart (British Baking Show

Pear and Frangipane Tart (British Baking Show - Bake #1)

I have been inspired by binging the British Baking Show. Though this recipe was not in my grandmother's recipe box, I know she would have approved and loved trying this French dessert. I don't have the exact recipe as I usually search for recipes and then use part of several. You can find recipes for all of these components so pick your favorites and put them together.

Poach the pears with sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon peel. (Leaves you with a great simple syrup to make a cocktail with if you are so inclined)

Make a sweet short crust and blind bake. You can buy baking beans or just use regular beans.

Slice the pears and fan them out a bit

Make frangipane

Fill the tart with frangipane

Place the pears on the tart and bake. Cover the crust with foil so it doesn't burn.

Share and Enjoy!

Down a Sourdough Rabbit Hole (Sourdough Rabbit Hole Prologue)

When I first began my sourdough starter in March, I did not know quarantine sourdoughing was a thing. But I found myself home more like a lot of others and I had been wanting to try doing it and now I was home more to give it a try. Luckily, I had stocked up on flour as it got a little difficult to always count on being able to get it a few weeks in when everyone started stockpiling everything. I was not exempt from the food hoarding phenomena and while I did not go completely crazy, I did keep on hand many more things that I normally would. It certainly was disconcerting to find yourself at a grocery store with shelves completely cleared out of many items and rationing in place. It makes you realize just how spoiled you are being able to get what you want on a whim. So I started the process and now have been keeping it going for several months. While sometimes it does seem like a chore to feed it, I mostly find it very interesting to see it grow and use i...

Lemon Pie "Delicious"(Mom M Recipe #8)

Finally, I made a recipe from the box that someone actually remembered Mom making before. Mom would be what I called my grandmother not to be confused with my Mom. I don't know why but it was never confusing as to who I was referring to when I said it to me or to Mom and Mom. So this recipe is for lemon pie though the recipe for the pie crust and for the meringue was not actually included on the card so I had to do those on my own. The lemon custard was very sweet and did not set up like my grandmothers did. I would probably adjust the recipe if I made it aga...

4th of July Honey Drops (Mom M Recipe #5)

It has been a little hot for baking lately so there has been a little hiatus in trying recipes from the box. I got some great honey from the farmers market a couple of weeks ago and had been wondering what I was going to use it in. Then I saw this recipe in the box for Honey Drops. I don't recall having these before, but the recipe looks well used so they must have been made a time or two. The recipe makes a nice dough that is easy to roll into balls for baking. Though I was not sure that this was the prescribed method since this like many of the recipes listed only ingredients and no directions. But they baked up just right. You have to make the balls on the smaller side since you are putting them together in sandwich fashion. I suppose you could make a giant sandwich cookie, but I prefer the smaller size. Sin...
