Pumpkin Pie
Out of all thanksgiving pies, which one is your favorite? I gotta say that pumpkin pie is mine. I always need to go grab a slice whenever I see one! Haha. I’ve been using Sally’s Baking Addiction’s recipe for a while now! The cracks of pepper add such a nice subtle depth of flavor. The only thing though is that I always have leftover batter. But that’s ok because I just make mini pumpkin pies in a muffin tin! :D
Chicken Pot Pie
When I think of a dish that is the epitome of cozy and homey, I think of chicken pot pie! And a lot of other dishes like sullungtang and soups, but that’s beside the point! Haha. It’s like chicken noodle soup but reinforced with the decadence of pie dough and a roux. I remember my family would go to Marie Callender's and order their chicken pot pie and enjoying every moment of it. Now, I just make it myself! :D
Buttermilk Currant Scones
I used to live in San Francisco and I remember loving Tartine Bakery. They have awesome banana cream pies and chocolate croissants. But I believe that their sleeper hit is their buttermilk scones. These scones are a perfect balance of fluffy, flaky, and crispy. They have Zante currants which are basically raisins but smaller. You should definitely give these a try!
Pumpkin Bread
I have been making this pumpkin bread every year (and sometimes multiple times a year) since 3-4 years ago! I feel like the fresh ginger really makes a difference. Also the bread is so fluffy and moist. I keep going back to it! I’m a sucker for fall spices and this pumpkin bread by Bon Appétit is just so good! I highly recommend you try it out. :D
Fruit Tart
I made this fruit tart for my mom’s birthday, one of her favorite desserts! And who can complain? Pastry cream with fruit and a shortbread-like crust. Such a great combo. They especially look so aesthetic and pretty.
Peach Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is soooo good. I’m a huge fan of Erin McDowell and though she is usually known more for her pies, her peach cinnamon roll recipe is so delicious! I especially love the dough. It’s so enriched, fluffy and perfect! And the peach butter is such a nice addition to make a cinnamon roll lighter but packed with juicy peach flavor.
Peach Galette
I love galettes. They’re so simple and easy to make yet they’re so pretty and delicious as well! Add peaches to this? Even better! :D
Biscotti
This was my very first attempt at making biscotti. I love these twice-baked crunchy cookies that pair so well with coffee! One of the best thing about making them yourself is that you can adjust them to your preference. Do you like a super hard crunch or instead a crispy exterior with a slightly soft center?
Raspberry Cake
I baked my own birthday cake for my birthday… haha. I made this exact same cake for another friend’s birthday a month ago and decided to make a video on it. It is SO. MUCH. WORK. But thankfully, my friends and family said they liked the taste of the cake. Hopefully, they weren’t being nice just because it was my birthday haha.
Compost Cookies
I first had a compost cookie when I visited my cousins in New York and they introduced me to Milk Bar. I was surprised. Chips and pretzels in a cookie? But I loved it. The salty crunch adds such a depth to the sweetness of a cookie. It was a flavor profile that, at that time, I was unaware of. These cookies, also known as kitchen sink cookies, are one of my favorites (and also my mom’s!).
