It’s sweet, it goes crunch, it’s nutty and buttery. Homemade gourmet treats!
You can use peanuts or no nuts at all and create the same wonderful candy for...peanuts!

Baked, not fried

Little gifts of the harvest! Buttered filo houses a mound of sweet potatoes. It bakes up into a little package that is ready pretty darn quick or, if oven space is an issue, are easily reheated (they also freeze well).

A zingy coating and a finish of Hot and Sweet Drizzle over these oversized, fried incredibly crisp, crunchy chicken tenders make them outstanding. Fine flake sea or kosher salt is a key ingredient here. It is less salty than regular salt and a pure salt. If you cannot fine it, reduce salt 15-20 %. The best hot sauce for this recipe is Trappey's Red Devil Cayenne Sauce - it is salty, vinegary and just hot enough - it is a hot sauce even if you think you do not like hot sauce. Vist www.bgfoods.com. This is now a summer tradition at BetterBaking.com  -this recipe is the hit of Canada Day or July 4th or any calendar day after that. It is just stupendous. The soda crackers in the coating is another secret here but the oversized white chicken tenders cook up fast and not greasy - making these kid and adult popular. I like serving them in tissue paper lined baskets, one per diner with sides of steak fries and homestyle coleslaw.

Smooth, decadent, seductive and always impressive.

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit Mix makes these a dinnertime cinch.

 

 A gluten-free version of my most famous brownie. Somehow, and perhaps it is the gluten free flour mix that suits the recipe, these are even more fudgy and chewy than the original recipe. Like the original these brownies nice crackly tops and do not require icing. I use a bulk food stores ‘gluten free all-purpose flour’ that contains rice and bean flours among other gluten-free elements. You can make your own mix (that suits you) or find a gluten free mix that appeals to your taste and dietary requirements. Some taste and perform better than others. The batter of this recipe isn’t luscious but once baked up, the brownies are fantastic.

No trademark or brand name references here but I think you get the reference –these are homemade, oaty bars similar to those you find in the supermarket. Jam filled, cake-mix and oatmeal based, these whip up in seconds (!) and yield a nice batch of wrap and take ‘em-to-go-bars which are ideal to eat on your commute, pack into a brown bag lunch or tuck into at recess. A great, easy, autumn recipe for back (sigh) to school and yup, a great recipe for your next bakesale.  

I should call this  Can’t Sleep Tea (it is my own version of famed Sleeptime Tea from Celestial Seasonings) because I guarantee this will make you sleepy….sleepier? Well, it's just the ticket no matter what, even if you have aches and pains and simply need a healing tonic. Warm milk, honey, pure vanilla, cinnamon and chamomile make this sublime. It is instead of hot cocoa and instead of decaf café latte and instead of (but not a replacement for) ...mum.

 

This is easy and wonderfully, deeply chocolate. Like most pudding cakes, regardless of the odd construction, in the end you have a fudgey cake sitting in a pool of warm fudge sauce. Add some ice-cream on the side or whipping cream and you will have one exceptional cake. It’s probably the precursor to today’s trendy molten chocolate cakes but decidedly more low tech.
