If you have ever had a great big puffy skillet full of apple oven pancake, this is similar. Since the apples are not baked into it, the whole thing comes out crisper. For the fruit, you can change with the seasons: Use strawberries (green leaves removed) in early spring, blackberries and raspberries in early summer, peaches and nectarines (peeled and pitted) in mid-summer, and apples and pears (peeled and cored) in fall and winter. (Citrus fruit like oranges and grapefruit are really too juicy to use.) For an over-the-top experience, dollop some lightly sweetened whipped cream (or not-so-over-the-top yogurt) on the fruit before sprinkling with sugar.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 ounces (5 tablespoons) butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups fruit (see note above)
A little powdered sugar
Syrup (such as maple or blueberry, but any syrup will do)

Directions:

Do this first
Oven: Adjust the rack to the upper third of the oven. Turn on the oven to 450°F.

Fruit: Cut the fruit (except small berries) into small pieces about 1/2 inch.

Syrup: Warm the syrup over low heat or in a microwave at 50% power for 1 minute just before serving.

Melt the butter
Put the butter in a very large (12-inch) skillet with an ovenproof handle. Set in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the butter completely (okay if it begins to brown).

Make the batter
While the butter melts, measure the flour into a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk and salt. Beat until smooth, using a whisk, large spoon or handheld electric mixer.

Bake and serve
Pour the batter into the hot pan. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sides are puffed up and dark golden brown. Remove from the oven. Loosen the Dutch baby from the sides and bottom of the skillet, then slide it onto a serving plate. Pile the fruit in the center and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut

Creamy Mushroom, Goat Cheese and Madiera Tarts

Recipe inspiration:

This easy recipe is so wonderful for a party–the earthy goodness of the mushrooms comes through and is accented by the Madiera. Adding the goat cheese to make a light but creamy sauce creates a wonderful flavor combination.

Recipe ingredients:

6 oz applewood smoked bacon, diced
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced leeks
6 oz sliced crimini mushrooms, roughly chopped
6 oz sliced button mushrooms, roughly chopped
1/4 cup Pacific Organic Vegetable or Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Madiera wine or dry sherry
30 mini phyllo shells
6 oz goat cheese log, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped, plus more for garnish, roughly chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Cooking instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.

With a slotted spoon, remove meat from skillet, allowing drippings to remain in pan. Set bacon aside.

Add leeks and crimini and button mushrooms to the pan and stir to combine.

Allow mixture to cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until mixture is nearly dry, stirring occasionally.

Add Pacific broth and Madiera to mixture and stir again.

Allow mixture to cook again over medium heat until pan is nearly dry again, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In the meantime, place phyllo shells on a baking sheet and bake 5-7 minutes until crisp. Remove from oven set aside.

When the mushroom mixture is nearly dry, add pieces goat cheese slowly to the mushroom mixture and stir gently until a creamy sauce forms.

Add reserved cooked bacon and chives to mushroom mixture, stir and remove from heat.

Season mushroom filling with salt and pepper to taste.

Fill shells with a scant tablespoon of creamy mushroom filling.

Top each filled tart with a small piece of fresh chive for garnish and serve immediately.

Filling can me made up to four days in advance and reheated in crisped tart shells for convenience if desired.

Enjoy!

Chili Powder

The use of chili powders has been traced back to early Indian curry powders and its American roots date back to the 19th century. Chili powder is typically a blend of mostly dried chili peppers and some additional spices -- usually cumin, coriander and oregano. There is no one perfect chili seasoning as they tend to vary greatly between multiple flavors and heat levels. Some folks prefer a milder chili powder while others are looking for flavor that is more complex and robust while still others are looking for more heat.

In the last ten to fifteen years consumers have been demanding more heat and different flavors in their chili powders. The most common types of peppers used in chili powders are the larger red chiles such as the New Mexico and the Pasilla. Now the problem (if there is one) with these particular chiles is that they tend to be on the mild side when it comes to heat. They typically come in at 2-3 on the heat scale (with ten being the hottest).

The key to a good chili powder, no matter what your heat preference, is in using fresh ingredients and also how much salt goes in the chili powder. At SpicesInc.com we like to use a variety of chiles including Ancho, Califormia, Chipotle, Guajillo, Habanero, New Mexico, Pasilla and Serrano. We also make our chili powder in smaller batches to ensure that they are always fresh and we receive shipments of spices weekly. We also do not use salt in most of our chili seasonings and we never use anti-caking agents or MSG!

We carry a wide selection of chili powders that are sure to suit just about and flavor and heat level you desire. You'll also find pure chile powder for those looking for ground chiles as well as a good selection of dried chiles and hot peppers. And if you are a fan of dry rubs then you will want to be sure to check out one of our newest creations a Chipotle Rub that is hand blended and includes Chipotle, New Mexico and Ancho chiles.

Baking by never Bashful with ButterSamatha and hershey

Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Squares
Time: 9 3/4 hr (includes chilling) (45 minutes active time)
Makes 64 (1-inch) petits fours

For crust
3 1/2 oz graham crackers, crumbled (1cup)
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For filling
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-oz envelope, will just about half of envelope)
1/4 cup whole milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
3/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup dulce de leche (12 1/2 oz) (recipe follows)

For glaze
3 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), coarsely chopped
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Make crust: Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with 2 sheets of foil (crisscrossed), leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.

Finely grind crackers with sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor. With motor running, add butter, blending until combined. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of baking pan. Bake 10 minutes, then cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes.

Make filling: Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small bowl and let stand 2 minutes to soften. Beat together cream cheese, eggs, salt, and gelatin mixture in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes, then stir in dulce de leche gently but thoroughly. Pour filling over crust, smoothing top, then bake in a hot water bath (I was able to fit mine in a 9×13-inch baking pan) in oven until center is just set, about 45 minutes. Cool cheesecake completely in pan on rack, about 2 hours. Chill, covered, at least 6 hours.

Glaze cake within 2 hours of serving: Heat all glaze ingredients in a double boiler or a small metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, then pour over cheesecake, tilting baking pan to coat top evenly. Chill, uncovered, 30 minutes.

Lift cheesecake from pan using foil overhang and cut into 1-inch squares with a thin knife, wiping off knife after each cut. (Don’t skip this step! A clean knife is essential for uber-neat squares.)

Note: Cheesecake (without glaze) can be chilled up to 3 days.

Dulce de Leche (Milk Caramel)

Pour 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk into top of double-boiler pan; cover. Place over boiling water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until thick and light caramel-colored.

Remove from heat. Whisk until smooth
