Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie's Anytime Cakes - Corn Toasties

 

                                                    


      The sixth recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie:  Dorie’s Anytime Cakes group is Corn Toasties and can be found in Dorie Greenspan’s newest cookbook, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes on page 241.   

       Ingredients:  cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, eggs, buttermilk, butter, olive oil, and honey.
       Well, it’s that time of year when televised college football games determine the timing of meals around here. I have long ago given up trying to figure out who is watching what when to figure out a plan for everyone to sit down to eat together so the chili pot comes back into play on weekends as chili is easy, gets even better with reheating, and can be scooped and served by anyone anytime. Where there is chili, there is usually cornbread. 
      This recipe for Corn Toasties seemed like a natural fit as they are a larger flatter version of a cornbread muffin, measuring maybe an inch tall. I don’t have a jumbo muffin tin as was suggested, but I do have a hamburger bun pan and that worked out great as it produced the large, flat, one-inch muffin described. The taste was as you would think a cornbread muffin would taste, so nothing terribly new or outstanding, but quite nice with a bowl of chili. 
 

      We also split them in half to make cheese and ham sandwiches and those were also quite nice. Would I make Corn Toasties again? Definitely, they were easy, quick, and the slightly crunchy tops and bottoms were a hit. 
       If you would like to join in, just make it, bake it, and leave a link to your post at the Tuesdays with Dorie website.  At the website you will find the postings for the current recipe, the list of recipes chosen each month, and some baking chit chat that is definitely helpful as well as fun.  We don’t publish Dorie's recipes here, but you can buy the book and have them ALL at your fingertips.

Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - Custardy Apple and Kale Cake

Image
       The 72nd recipe I made with the  Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie  group is Custardy Apple and Kale Cake and can be found in the  Baking with Dorie  cookbook on page 334.           Ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, onion, kale, eggs, milk, apples, and cheese.        This is not what you would think of when you hear the word “cake,” but it looks like what you think of when you hear the word “cake,” so I was eager to make this and see what it was all about…turns out it was all about being savory and delicious.         I’m not sure I’ve had a “savory cake” before, definitely not one that tasted like this as it kind of reminded me of a quiche with a different texture and no traditional quiche crust, maybe like a crustless quiche actually.  The combination of ingredients reminded me of an apple/kale/cheese/onion salad that ...

Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition

Image
          The 70th recipe I made with the  Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie  group is The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition and can be found in the  Baking with Dorie  cookbook on page 11.            Ingredients: butter, flour, powdered milk, sugar, salt, yeast, egg, and milk.        Homemade bread, I would say, is one of my favorites to make. Through the years I’ve made countless loaves and I always enjoy baking all kinds of bread, it is relaxing and soothing, and especially rewarding when everyone happily devours it, sometimes straight out of the oven as was the case when the boys were home growing up…homemade bread never lasted long.          This is a nice recipe, it comes together easily, and bakes well. It baked for a bit more (actually 20 minutes more in my oven) than the time specified, all ovens bake differently. The taste is rich (butter, milk, egg, suga...

Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie's Anytime Cakes: Cocoa-Swirled Pumpkin Bundt

Image
          The first recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie’s Anytime Cakes group is Cocoa-Swirled Pumpkin Bundt and can be found in Dorie Greenspan’s newest cookbook, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Today is the launch day for Dorie’s new cookbook and the launch day for this new group at Tuesdays with Dorie , now also baking from this book on the third Tuesday of each month.          Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Salt, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chips, Flour, Baking Soda, Ginger, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Neutral Oil, Brown Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla, Pumpkin, and Confectioner’s Sugar.          The first thing I asked myself when I saw this recipe was, “Do Pumpkin and Chocolate actually go together?’ Mark assured me that he thought they did and that I should bake on. We decided that a half recipe made in 6 cup bundt pan would be an appropriate size so I just halved the ingredients, it all fit perfectly fine, and the cake b...
