Recipes: Desserts!
Hey everyone! I'm a college student and I am just learning to get my
hands dirty in the kitchen. I want to start baking or preparing dessets, and if anyone want to share any good dessert recipes for a beginner to start with, that would be awesome. Thanks! |

Perhaps you could narrow your question a bit. Or, a lot. Cakes, cookies, candies, pies, tarts, ice cream. Likes and dislikes. Allergies. Facilities available. -- to respond (OT only), change "spamless.invalid" to "optonline.net" <http://www.thecoffeefaq.com/> |

A tour through www.recipesource.com is worthwhile. Cookies
are often easy to make and so are bars. Melt a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips (carefully! don't let it get too hot.) and pour in a can of sweetened condensed milk to make an easy batch of fudge. Maybe add a teaspoon of vanilla and toss in some nuts, too. Although I'm not fond of them, my daughter likes "no-bake" cookies. You might give them a shot, too. There are many variations, mostly melted chips and some kind of cereal. Good luck, Michael |

Biscuits
2 cups self rising flour (not all purpose) 1 cup milk 1/3 cup mayonnaise (not miracle whip) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix all three ingredients with a mixer until a dough forms; it takes a minute or two. Once dough has formed, you can either scoop it onto a greased baking pan or greased muffin tins (fill muffin tins halfway), but I prefer to wet my hands and put some of the dough in my hands and roll it and pat it into a small pattie and put on the baking surface. Be sure to put biscuits at least 1" apart on baking sheet. Cook 15-17 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top. As soon as you pull them out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter. |

This is a modified version of a recipe that was published last September in the NY Times and titled Balzano Apple Cake. I made it a few times and, even though the original recipe was very good, I altered it a bit to simplify it and to improve on it. It is really delicious and quite easy to make. ½ stick butter (2 ounces), plus more for greasing pan 3/4 cup flour, plus more for pan 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 4 Granny Smith apples 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup milk at room temperature Powdered sugar to sprinkle top (optional) 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Smear the inside of an 8-inch-square pan with butter or margarine. Dust it with flour, then turn pan over, and tap lightly to remove excess flour. Set it aside. 2. Melt butter in small saucepan or in a suitable microwave container covered with a paper towel. I use a ceramic cup. 3. In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, baking powder and sugar, then stir in the milk. Next add the butter, vanilla extract and stir to mix thoroughly. It should now be about the same consistency as pancake batter. Set it aside. 4. Peel, quarter and core the apples, then cut them into slices about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick 5. Stir the apples into the batter, coating every piece with batter. Pour the batter into the 8"pan, using a spoon or your fingers to pat top evenly. 6. Bake for 25 minutes, then rotate the pan; bake for about 25 minutes more, until cake pulls away from pan and is brown on top; a thin-bladed knife inserted into the center will come out clean when it is done. Cool 30 minutes and then, if desired, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Yield: 6 to 8 servings. |

Haven't made it in years, but I smile every time I think of it. Dang, I might be doing some grocery shopping tomorrow!
