Lemon Biscuits
I gotta confess. I baked again on Monday. I had some lemons and been thinking for a while about making something with them. First I thought about a cake or cupcakes but somehow found the idea boring. Also, something you gotta now about me is that my favorite part with making biscuits is using the cookie scoop 🤗. Ingredients 1 cup flour // 1/2 tsp baking powder // 2/3 cup sugar // 1/4 cup softened butter // 2 tsp lemon juice // zest of one medium lemon // 1 medium egg // Instructions Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and softened butter together. You should get a crumpy texture // Add…
Batbout (Moroccan Semolina Pan Bread)
No bread ? No problem. This moroccan semolina bread is called “batbout” and it’s pretty much superman, as you literally cook it in a pan. For 1 medium batbout or 2 small ones: Ingredients: 1/2 cup fine semolina // 1/4 cup all-purpose flour // 1/2 tsp yeast // a pinch of salt // about 1/3 cup of warm water Instructions: In a large bowl, add the flour, semolina, yeast and salt // gradually add the water to form a non-sticky dough // Form a ball and let it rest for about 45 min // When ready, spread the dough circularly until is about 1 cm thick // Grease a pan…
Pie Crust
I love making stuff from scratch. Messy hands are the best hands 🤗. Pie crust dough is super easy to make and customizable whether you want it sweet or not. Here we go: Ingredients 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter (you can use vegan butter or margarine too) // 1/2 cup water // (optional: for a sweet crust, add 3 tbsp of sugar) Instructions In a large bowl, mix the flour and the softened butter. You should get a lumpy, sand-like texture // Gradually add the water while working the dough. You should get a soft and light dough. If too sticky, add some flour as…
Veggie tart
I wanted to recreate this tart where veggies look like flowers for aaaages. Yesterday I finally sat down and decided to make it. For this one I used carrots and courgette/zucchinis cause it’s easy to get thin slices of them. I also made my own crust, cause it is funnier but any store-crust would do fine as well. I hope you’ll like it just like I did 🙂 Ingredients For the homemade crust ——————– 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter // 1/2 cup water For the filling ——————– 2 eggs // 1/4-1/3 cup milk (depending on the size of the pie) // 2 tbsp double cream…
Raisins – Speculoos Parfait
Everything involving Speculoos is a good thing. Just pike this yoghurt parfait for example. Sweet, full of goodness (Speculoos are good for the mind right ?) and damn so pretty. This is quite rich, so perfect as a cheat. I actually got this idea while doing my groceries. For foodies, the supermarket aisle is a temple 🙏 Ingredients (serves 1) 2/3 cup greek yoghurt (or yoghurt of choice) (sub for any plant based yoghurt for the vegab version ) // 2 tbsp raisins // 2 Speculoos // 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for the vegan version Instructions In your cup of choice, put a layer of yoghurt (1/3 cup)…
Chocolate cupcakes
Chocolate is those kind of things most either love or hate, but I’m more of a “middle” kind of girl. I enjoy my chocolate, but can live without it (sorry chocolate addicts). Made these cupcakes the other day with an amaaazing icing which you can find in my previous post. Chocolate cupcakes (makes 8) Look at this. Perfection. Ingredients 1 cup flour // 1/2 cup cocoa powder // 3/4 cup sugar // 1 medium egg and 2 tbsp egg white or 2 small eggs // 1 tsp baking powder // 8g vanilla sugar // freshly brewed coffee (1 cup) // 1/4 cup sunflower oil // a pinch of salt Instructions…
Simple Cookies
Simplicity is best. And cookies are definity the ultimate proof of that. I mean, who doesn’t love melting chocolate chips ? 😍 Well, my flatmate doesn’t but that’s another story. I made these cookies yesterday and they: 1)are easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients already and you can replace the chocolate chips with raisins (even though, your friends might hate you for being tricked it’s chocolate when it’s really raisins) and 2)can be either soft or crunchier, depending on how you like them. But enough talking, let’s get into serious things shall we? Ingredients (makes…
Chocolate Protein Balls
Guys. In the past to criminals in the Roman Empire, they used to attach each one of their limbs to a horse. Then order the horses to run in all directions. Ouch. I feel like life is trying to do that to me. So many things to do which have NOTHING to do with each other. Gotta process my simulations result. Prepare my french lessons (I’m a french teacher too). Work on the model of a CubeSat satellite we’re trying to send into space – if we win the competition – with ANOTHER team. On top of that I’m preparing for the Dobson cup. Now don’t get it wrong, I…
Breakfast Tortilla
I swear, I didn’t do it on purpose. Actually, I just realized even the green and red colors remind me of Mexico. It’s Sunday, so hell yeah, I wanted a fancy brekkie. This tortilla IS fancy and vegan friendly, so there you go for the “recipe” (which is not really one). Ingredients : 1 medium tortilla // 1/3 cup of cubbed and already cooked tofu // 1/4 cup of sliced button mushrooms // 1/4 cup of baby tomatoes // a handful of arragula // some sliced olives to put on top // margarine or butter to grease the pan // soy sauce // (optional) pepper and salt to taste //…
Healthy Banana Bread
First of all, happy belated Thangsgiving my canadian friends! No Turkey for me this year. Just enjoyed the sunshine while I can 🙂 Anyway, any month is bananas month. Who else agrees ? If you now me, you probably now I’m obssessed with bananas. And banana bread. However, that’s a fact: I only need to look at cake to put on weight and so, I need to keep it as a treat. I’ve been looking for ages for a healthy recipe so I can indulge in my guilty pleasure more often. I have been looking at various recipes and finally tried this version. Believe me, it was absolutely delicious 😋…
