This springtime twist on classic date squares features a tangy-sweet pink rhubarb filling. Look for fresh stalks of rhubarb that are firm and have the most vibrant colour, but discard the inedible leaves before cooking. If fresh rhubarb is unavailable, measure the same amount of frozen rhubarb, then thaw and drain.
This is the ultimate in comfort food, combining two all-time homegrown favourites: cinnamon buns and bubbly, sweet apple cobbler. Sprinkling a cinnamon filling into rolled buttermilk biscuits offers a quick alternative to a yeast-risen cinnamon bun.
Baking bread from scratch is one of the most satisfying endeavours: kneading the dough, watching it rise, smelling it bake, then slathering a warm slice with butter.
You can get a perfectly lovely loaf of bread in a conventional oven, but a convection oven gives bread an even crispier crust.
Honey sweetens and enhances the flavour of this walnut-studded tart featuring a sweet crust as crisp and delicious as a cookie. (This is one of the mouthwatering desserts from our September issue "A Slice of Rosh Hashanah" story.)
This simplified version of a French- Canadian classic doesn't require mashed potatoes and has a super flaky crust that will have everyone asking for the recipe. For the lightest pastry, make sure you're working with cold butter and lard, and don't overwork the dough.
