White Chocolate and Miso 'Creme' Inspired Cookies

-

Last week, I turned 28! Despite the lockdown, my wonderful parents and boyfriend ensured I had a wonderful birthday. This included receiving a surprise box of Creme Cookies! It's been almost a year since my friend Steph and I attempted to get our hands on a Creme Cookie when we went to London. I was very excited to try them and my favourite flavour, by far, was White Chocolate and Miso. I had seen that Anna of The Anna Edit had posted this recipe a while ago so I thought I would give them a go today. I did a bit of an experiment with the chilling times as seen below. I would say that appearance wise, the cookie dough that was frozen looks the most like a Creme cookie! But they all tasted amazing! Just depends if you prefer a more spread, well done cookie or a thick gooey one! 

Ingredients:

200g butter, cold and cut into cubes
200g light brown sugar
100g golden caster sugar
2 eggs
360g self raising flour
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp white miso
250g white chocolate, chopped

Method:

1. Cream your butter and sugars together in the bowl of a standing mixer or using an electric hand mixer. This should take roughly 4/5 minutes.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are well mixed after each addition. 
3. Add the flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and miso. Mix until the cookie dough has just come together. 
4. Add the white chocolate chunks and mix again. Form into 9 balls and chill in the fridge/freezer for 30 minutes. 
5. Preheat your oven to 200 fan half way through your cookie dough's chilling time. Place the cookies on baking trays, leaving plenty of room in case they spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. 
6. Leave to cool on the baking tray until set.

Cheese straws

This morning I was inspired by the GBBO repeat on BBC1 to bake again. I decided to make the cheese straws from the old Be-Ro flour cookbook we've had longer than I can remember.  Ingredients 200g self raising flour two pinches of salt 1 tsp mustard powder 100g butter 150g mature cheddar cheese, grated  2 eggs some extra cheese to melt on top Method 1. Put the flour, salt & mustard powder in a bowl. Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumb. Add the grated cheese.  2. Use the egg to combine the mixture into a rough dough. 3. Roll out on a floured surface and cut into strips. Put on a baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper then sprinkle the extra cheese over the top. Bake at 160 for 20 minutes until golden brown. Ta da! And there you are. A wonderful brunchy, lunchy, elevenses treat!  I'd like to wish you a very happy new year & here's to a wonderful 2013 filled with love,

Yesterday afternoon, I was in need of a slow, calm bake. I'd had a busy couple of weeks and just wanted to spend some time, weighing out my ingredients and methodically working through a recipe. I find it really helps me when I'm feeling anxious or overwhelmed. I'd had this recipe from Jane's Patisserie saved as one I wanted to try, so thought it would be perfect day to do it.  I have adapted the original recipe slightly. The original recipe has 250g butter, 1 tsp of almond extract, 250g jam and 50g flaked almonds which worked well when I first made them. But, when I've made them since, I use 1/2 tsp almond extract as the flavour is so strong. I use less jam on top as using the full 250g made them too sickly sweet. I think about 3 tablespoons would be plenty, swirled through the mixture. And, depending on how nutty about nuts you are, you could use less flaked almonds on top. Let me know if you give this a go!  Ingredients:  200g butter (melted) 125g granulated sug

Cholla!

For some unknown reason, I was awake early this morning (on my day off, of all days!) Decided to experiment with another traditional Jewish bread recipe. I found the recipe for this Cholla loaf in Paul Hollywood's 'How to Bake' book.  Ingredients 500g strong white bread flour 10g salt 25g caster sugar 10g yeast 30g butter, softened 2 medium eggs 50ml milk 180ml water Method 1. Put the flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salt and sugar to one side and the yeast to the other. Add the butter, eggs, milk and half the water. Using your fingers, turn the mixture around in the bowl. Continue to add water until you have a soft, but not sloppy, dough.  2. Lightly flour the work surface and knead the dough for 5-10 minutes. Knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Oil a large bowl and leave to rise, until it's doubled in size, for up to 3 hours. 3. Tip the dough out onto a floured surface and knock back. Divide into 3 pieces and roll into long sausage shaped strands. J
