¼ cup - caster sugar or powdered sugar

1 egg yolk (without white)

½ teaspoon - Salt

1¼ cup - All-purpose flour

Stir in the yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt.

With the mixer on low (speed 1), stir in the flour until moist lumps form.

Gather the dough with your hand and make a ball. Don't knead it, just pull it together by handling it very lightly.

Shape 1 tablespoon of dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on prepared sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.

Using a floured finger, make a deep cut in the center of each ball.

Just enough to hold 1 teaspoon of lemon curd. Bake cookies until firm and lightly browned on the bottom, about 18 to 20 minutes.

Bake again for a few minutes just to set the curd. Or if you serve chilled, you can skip cooking the curd.

Sprinkle the cookies lightly with icing sugar before serving.

You can also try the lemon curd tarts.

Ingredients



Cookie cutter

1 can of yellow cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup {softened} butter

Homemade whipped cream

1 3.25 oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup of milk

Chocolate ganache

2 tbsp. Semi-sweet cooking chips

2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Cookie mugs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying each cup with non-stick cooking spray. Pour yellow cake mix into medium bowl and whisk {or sift} to remove lumps. Add the softened butter and eggs to the cake mix and mix with a hand mixer {or hand} until the dough is thick and sticky. Using a small cookie scoop {or 1/2 tsp. Tbsp}, put a bunch of cookie dough in each muffin pan. Using your fingers, go back and tap the mound of dough to create a level cookie. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately take a spatula or knife out of the set and run it around the edge of each cookie to free it from the pan. When cool, go back and use a pie shaper {or the end of a wooden spoon} to press the middle of the cookie down and create an indentation. Move the cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.

Vanilla cream

In medium bowl, combine vanilla instant pudding mix, heavy cream and milk. Using a mixer {or whisk}, beat in ingredients until mixture is thick and peaks stiff. Move the vanilla cream into a pastry bag {or Ziploc bag} and pour a generous amount of cream into each cookie cavity.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cook in the microwave for 20 seconds and whisk. If you get a silky smooth consistency, you're done. Otherwise, you need to add 10 second increments until you do. Pour a 1 / 4-1 / 2 teaspoon of ganache on top of each cookie mug. Refrigerate until the ganache is set and serve.

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

2 tablespoons of melted butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla

instructions

Combine milk and vinegar in a small bowl for 10 minutes to "sour". This is an important step and is called "sour milk" which is very different from sour milk. I guarantee you will NOT taste the vinegar in the final product. Set aside and combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.

In a smaller bowl, whisk together sour milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until most of the lumps are gone, but DO NOT BEAT TOO MUCH !! The dough will be thick, do not add more liquid.

LEAVE THE BATTERY TO SITUATE WITHOUT DISTURBATION FOR TEN MINUTES !! After 10 minutes you will see bubbles in the batter, very important DO NOT SHAKE AGAIN Gently dip (do not pour) 1/2 cup batter and place on buttered grill or frying pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake then turn with a spatula and brown the other side.

how to tell cheesecake ready - When you open the grid and move the pan, the 3-4 inch center will shake - not like soup, like loose jello jigglers.

Turn off the oven and open the door and let the cake cool then refrigerate overnight.

The next day, pour the rest of the caramel on top of the cake

Sprinkle fleur de sel on top of the cheesecake, as much or as little (I'm all for MORE, it's better)

The Original Buckeyes Recipe a.ka. Peanut Butter Balls

 

Ingredients

2 sticks of real butter, softened at room temperature

1 regular jar (16.4 oz.) Smooth peanut butter

2 lbs powdered sugar (1 can = 1 lb or 1 bag = 2 lb)

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 large Hershey bars + 1/4 - 1/2 paraffin cake wax

OR

1 large + 1 small sachet of semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1/4 cake paraffin wax

OR

Semi-sweet chocolate squares + 1/4 cake paraffin wax

OR

1 packet of almond peel (imitation chocolate which tastes great and is easy to melt and use)

 

Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.

Using a hand mixer, cream together butter and peanut butter. Add the vanilla and mix.

Continue to use the hand mixer for as long as you can, but do not burn the motor. Stir all the powdered sugar into the peanut butter mixture. Continue with a sturdy wooden spoon or your clean hands until everything is combined. The dough will be very crumbly, but will come together into perfect balls when you grab a teaspoon of it and roll it into a ball between your palms.

Melt the paraffin in a double boiler on the stove. Add the Hershey (broken into small pieces) or chocolate chips and stir until completely melted. If using almond peel, follow the directions on the package to melt in the microwave.

Drop one ball at a time into the melted chocolate, cover completely then scoop under the ball with a fork, allowing the excess chocolate to drain before transferring to the waxed paper. Allow the chocolate to dry and solidify before serving.

To make the balls look like buckeyes, insert a toothpick into the center of a ball and carefully dip 3/4 into the chocolate, leaving a small round, bare spot on top. Sometimes the bullet will want to fall off the toothpick or the bullet with a break. Cooling the balls in the fridge for about half an hour can help.

Enjoy your meal!
