Episode notes

In this episode I'm deep diving in to the world of King Cakes, philosophising about the downsides of food purism and talking about two King Cakes I made. One is an orange blossom water brioche King Cake with mascarpone cream and caramelised pecans. The other is a slightly lighter enriched dough but it's stuffed to the max with spiced caramel and walnuts! DAYUM!

    66. Crumble Forever: Streusel? Crumble? Coffee cake? Whatever, it's delicious

    In this recipe I'm talking about the recipe I can't get away from. I crumbled under the pressure of seeing so many other bakers trying King Arthur Flour's 2023 Recipe of the Year, the cinnamon crisp coffee cake, and the first few iterations that they've published. I liked it, but still tweaked it, which is the joy of home baking - making exactly what you want in the way you want it! And experimenting!

    64. Make-Ahead Desserts

    In this episode I talk about 2 different desserts that NEED to be chilled ahead of time, and therefore hopefully you can be chilled, too! The first is a classic 2-ingredient chocolate mousse (gluten free, dairy free, nut free), just made with eggs and chocolate. The second is a burnt caramel custard (gluten free) with an optional brulee topping! I also talk about souffle and trying to make peace with my dessert nemesis, trifle! Let me know what you'd like to see in 2023 by emailing me [email protected] or pestering me on Instagram (@flourbuttereggssugar) or Facebook. I'll see…
