Buttermilk Sweet Potato Ice Cream
At FRANK recently, we did an Americana menu, and needed to conceive an ice cream to go with our bourbon pecan pie. Chef Jennie suggested a sweet potato ice cream, but that just sounded too sweet to me. After all, pecan pie is very sweet, and to pair it with a super-sweet ice cream would…

Sourdough Buttermilk Beignets
Ah, beignets! France’s answer to a donut, only without a hole, and rarely round. Single-handedly made famous in the U.S. by Cafe du Monde, steps from the cathedral of St. Louis in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans…though certainly not perfected by them. I actually grumble and groan anytime I take someone…

All About Buttermilk
While I tell people that my favorite ingredient is pumpkin, that’s certainly true in the fall when pumpkins are in season. Pumpkin inspires me, and it’s what I’m known for…it’s my “signature ingredient.” But there’s another ingredient that I’m obsessed with, that I use every single day, and that I couldn’t live without. Buttermilk. Yet…

Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
I have loved blueberries since I was an infant. My mom has pictures of me with a permanent purple stain down my chin, chest, and into my belly button. My infant tongue wasn’t yet refined enough to sound out the name of this little blue miracle correctly…all I could manage was “bloo blellies.” (Which is…

Multi Grain Sweet Potato Muffins
We don’t eat enough sweet potatoes in this country. And when we do, they usually are slathered in sugar, butter, marshmallows, and maple syrup. (*gag*) What a horrific way to ruin a healthy, delicious food! (No offense to those of you who adore sweet potato casserole.) I had a few sweet potatoes left over in…

1-Hour Hazelnut Cranberry Sticky/Sweet Rolls
When I’m making a very special breakfast, I often choose my Overnight Cinnamon Rolls because they get rave reviews. Any kind of yeast-risen roll for breakfast is a winner…but sometimes you can’t prep the night before, or don’t have HOURS to prep that morning. So I’ve been developing a series of 1-Hour yeast risen recipes…

Buttermilk Cardamom Coffee Cake
We’ve lost the coffee cake, somehow. I rarely see it on menus at breakfast restaurants. And it’s such a yummy and easy thing to make. I’ll make an attempt at revitalizing interest in coffee cake by coming up with some new, inventive flavors, and this is my first…featuring my favorite spice, cardamom. So many fans…

1-Hour No-Knead Yeast Dinner Rolls
Bread. It can be a problem with dinner, because sometimes you just don’t have 4-5 hours to prep contemporary yeast bread or roll recipes. You all know that I prefer to use long, slow fermentations with my yeast breads to produce incredible flavor and crust. But that requires me to start the bread the day…

Buttermilk Biscuits
A video tutorial is located at the bottom of this recipe. Biscuits are SO easy to make, it blows my mind why people by those disgusting cans of biscuit dough in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, or attempt to use Bisquick, which is filled with salt, hydrogenated fats, and preservatives. It generally takes…

Fresh Pumpkin Pie (NO cans!)
So everyone’s got a recipe for pumpkin pie, and here’s the best one. (An instructional video for this recipe is located at the bottom.) Of course, the best one involves nothing from a can, which means WORK. I’ll throw you some shortcuts the deeper we get into the recipe, but if you want to make…
