Yes, I know I should have posted this last month but...better late than never?
Here's a recap of Holiday treats I made the last couple weeks of December.
These cream puffs come out crunchy, thin and golden. Simply topped off with homemade whipped cream and powdered sugar. A true dessert to die for.
- Dough:
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3/4 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- dash of salt
- Whipped cream: heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Monte Cristo sandwiches
Sinful, deep-fried and delicious. The Holidays are a good excuse to indulge without remorse! My brother made these as appetizers for Christmas dinner.
- white bread
- turkey
- blackberry preserves
- Gouda cheese
- milk
- vegetable oil
- butter
"Christmas" Apple Pie
This is the generic apple pie recipe I always use, but in my house we use cookie cutters to stamp out Christmas trees and stars on the pie crust to make it festive.
- Filling:
- 4 large apples
- 2 pears
- cinnamon, sugar, flour, (lemon juice optional)
- Pie crust:
- Trader Joe's pie crust (You can make your own, but with all the running around during the Holidays who really has the time?
