Apple Fritters
Oct 12, 2011
There are many varieties of kimchi, the traditional Korean fermented pickled side dish. For these pancakes, you need kimchi made from napa cabbage; it's easy to find in Asian grocery stores or the refrigerated deli section of some supermarkets. Its spicy heat is subtle in these pancakes, so even people sensitive to chilies will enjoy its salty tang.
Start your day off right with these whole grain waffles, which have just a hint of sweetness. You can find 12-grain flour in most bulk food stores. Freeze leftover waffles and reheat them in the toaster for a quick, satisfying weekday breakfast.
Top these warmly spiced, carbohydrate-rich waffles with sauteed apples or warmed honey or maple syrup.
A surprisingly secret ingredient — strained baby food plums — provides a convenient way to add luscious texture to brownies without any fuss and without interfering with the genuine chocolate flavour brownies must have.
This generous crumb topping bakes into the cake batter, melding into a sumptuous afternoon treat to enjoy with tea or coffee. It also makes a nice casual dessert.
Simply pop the ramekins into the oven before you sit down for dinner; these self-saucing cakes will bake while you enjoy your meal. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
A double dose of ginger (ground and crystallized) brings these moist, carrot-filled cupcakes to life – and a swirl of cream cheese icing takes them over the top! If you like, garnish each cupcake with chopped crystallized ginger.
