Mix the dry ingredients the night before and bake these holiday muffins fresh for Christmas morning or a holiday brunch. To replace the rum, use 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla in 1/4 cup (50 mL) water.
White chocolate adds a sweetness to this creamy, custardlike Italian dessert. The sunny Moro (or blood) orange sauce works just as well with navel oranges.
Decadent pancakes are a special treat for any breakfast, brunch or dessert. Mascarpone cheese and cherry syrup add a touch of elegance to this otherwise humble family favourite. Top with shaved chocolate if desired.
You can bake these biscuits right from the freezer on Christmas morning. Serve with cream cheese and raspberry jam.
Serve with scrambled eggs, and roast some cherry tomatoes by sprinkling them with a little extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and cooking in 425°F (220°C) oven until softened, about 30 minutes.
Lucy Maud Montgomery was not only an accomplished writer, she was also a great cook and neatly wrote her recipes in a ledger. This delicious moist cake from Marion (Webb) Laird appears on a well-worn page in the ledger. A selection of Montgomery's recipes, including this one, was published in Aunt Maud's Recipe Book (Moulin Publishing Limited, 1996), compiled by Elaine and Kelly Crawford, Marion's daughter and granddaughter, respectively. Marion's mother, Myrtle Macneill, was Montgomery's third cousin and she lived in the real-life Green Gables.
For the best texture, make sure not to overstir the pancake batter; it should be a bit lumpy before you fold in the cheese and green onions. Store-bought pickled beets make a super-quick and tasty garnish.
