  • The best pumpkin pie

    • ashallen on November 23, 2019

      This is an excellent pumpkin pie that I've made many times. I've had pumpkin pies with a range of flavors - some are "brighter" and kind of fruity and others are darker-flavored with spices and brown sugar. This is one of the latter ones, which I love - in fact, I often add a teaspoon of molasses to the custard to bump up the dark flavors a bit more (particularly if I'm using light brown vs. dark brown sugar). The custard's rich and very smooth. Sometimes I replace a few tablespoons of heavy cream with whole milk to dial back the richness a bit. The crust specified in the recipe is a bit fiddly, but you can probably use any crust you like for partial blind-baking. The filling has also baked well in individual custard cups without a crust - I've used a water bath when making them which worked well. Also, I once forgot to add the milk to the custard (though I did remember the cream), and the pie still turned out OK!! [Cross-post for Annual Edition/Magazine.]

  • The best buttermilk waffles

    • ashallen on November 06, 2019

      Good waffles! I think these seemed a bit heavy when made in a Belgian-style waffle maker and might seem lighter as a thinner-style waffle - need to try them again to confirm. [Cross-post for Annual Edition/ Magazine.]

  • The best angel food cake

    • ashallen on October 15, 2020

      This is a very good and very dependable angel food cake recipe. I've made it many times over the years, and it has always come out light, tender, and moist. This is despite the fact that I've strayed from the recipe instructions at times, e.g. substituted all-purpose flour for cake flour (somewhat heavier texture, but still very good), skipped sifting the flour, reduced the sugar by 1/4 c, and/or substituted lime juice for lemon juice.
