Mini apple pie

I love apple pie(or blueberry pie) but you can't make a big apple pie for two persons.
I already bake to much stuff all the time.
This time I remembered that I have these little pie tins since I made two small vegan wedding cakes.
And since we are two persons, and I guess the pie tins are the right size for one person, maybe one serving with a little extra yummy in it. Of course I don't really care about the pie, cause the key to a good pie is the vanilla sauce <3
I use Oatly vanilla sauce, yum yum.

Ingredients:
½ dl liquid butter
½ dl flour
1,25 dl oatmeal
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon syrup
0,25 dl sugar
½ apple
Cinnamon powder
Sugar
Vanilla
1 tabelspoon brown sugar

Preparation Instructions:
Preheat oven to 175 C or 347 F.
Mix butter, flour, oatmeal, vanilla, syrup and sugar together in a small bowl.
Take two thirds of the batch and add it in the pie tins, on the bottom and the sides.
Peel the apple and slices it in thin slices, I just used half an apple put if you like apple pie with a lot of apple, then you can use a whole apple and just make two layers.
Powder some vanilla, sugar and cinnamon over the apples, this I didn't measure, 'cause I hope you all can decide for your self how much you want on your pie, some wants it really sweet others wants a lot of cinnamon and so on.
Now take the last of the batch and crumble it over the pies, then take the brown sugar and sprinkle ½ tablespoon of it on each pie, now you just pop it in the oven and let it bake for 20 minutes.
This is a very sweet pie, so if you don't really like it sweet you can easily skip the sugar on top the apples and the brown sugar, cause the batch is sweet enough just on it's own.

It's like Christmas!

Today I got a package.
I had no idea what it was, but I had another package to pick up so I went to the "post office" Pressbyrån!
When she gave me the package I still had no idea what it contained, and it was a large package!
Then when I was about to walk home I remembered what it was and I was thrilled!
When I got home I teared into it!
And oh it was like Christmas,
Christmas and Birthday all in one!

SPRINKLES! <3

Frosting color and vanilla sugar

Cats, Dinosaur and polar bear

I was a little disappointed here. Thought it was 12 tips and not 4 tips and 8 bags.

A cake leveler! CAKE LEVELER! Must be the best thing ever!

Now I'm happy!

Buns Buns Buns!

Yes. Buns.
Cause I bought me a Kitchenaid I felt that I really had to use it right away, so I made buns with cinnamon and vanilla.

Ingredients:
50 grams yeast
5 dl soymilk
125 gram butter
2 dl sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
14-16 dl flour

Vanilla butter filling:
50 grams butter
1,5 dl sugar
3 tabelspoons vanilla
1 tabelspoon brown sugar

Cinnamon butter filling:
50 grams butter
1,5 dl sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons cinnamon


Preparation Instructions:
Crumb the yeast into a big bowl.
Melt the butter and add the soymilk(I heat the soymilk a little before in the microwave, if you add the soymilk directly into the melted butter it could clump, and it's not so fun)
I'd recommend you to use an digital meat thermometer, so that you can get an exactly 37 C, that's when you get the best result.
Pour the milk mixture over the yeast and stir till the yeast has dissolved.
Then add the sugar, salt, cardamom and about half the flour and stir, then add some of the flour at the time, star with 1 dl till your up to 13 dl then start adding ½ dl till the dough is smooth, it shouldn't stick to the bowl or to anything, but it should still be a little sticky to the touch, but the dough shouldn't stick to your fingers.
Now you have to let it sit for 30 minutes while it rises.
Now you can mix together the fillings, mix until smooth.
When it has doubled in size, split it in two and roll into a rectangular and smear one of the butter fillings over it, now you can do two things either roll it into a clog and cut 1 cm slices that you put on a wax paper, or you do like I did, fold it in half and then slice it in 1 cm slices that you make a knot out of, I can't really help you with this step because I don't even know how I do mine.
But just think knot and take the slice and just wrap it around them selfs, just make sure that the two ends is safely secured and tugged in on the bottom of the bun, so that when you put it in the oven it won't unfold.
Now, when you have done this with all the dough it has to sit for another 30 minutes. Now is a good time to put on the oven 225 C or 427 F.

After 30 minutes it's time to pop the first baking plate into the oven, but before we do that we can if you'd like, to brush the buns with a mixture of ½ dl liquid butter and ½ dl oat cream and then sprinkle some pearl sugar on top, now just pop it in the oven.
Usually they should bake for about 8-10 minutes, but it depends on how big you've made them, I had to bake mine for 15 minutes. The key is to take them out when they are a little brownish on top and when it smells like buns in the room.

Cat approves!

Kitchenaid

 

Just bought me one of these <3
I've wanted one for a really long time now.
And right in this moment there's one standing in a box on my kitchen floor!
Now I just have to set it up and start making some Cinnamon and vanilla buns.
Yummy!

Vegan Cake pops with ganache filling

Okay,
Now I'm going to do something I really hate,
I'm going to measure everything I add into my baking bowl,
And it's only for you.

Anyway.
Cakepops (or cupcake pops) is like the most amazing thing ever,
I've only done it once before, but I was sold right then and there.
I've got the original recipe from Bakerella, just love that site, check it out.

Anyway,
Let's get ready.

There's many steps to this.
First you'll need to make a cake, let it cool and then destroy it into tiny bits and then make frosting and mix with the cake, then you'll need to roll little balls add the ganache in them and freeze them!
After like 1 hour you can take them out, and melt chocolate that you can dip the balls in and then wait for them to dry, then your ready to eat!

So Step One:
Ingredients:
½ dl liquid butter, like Milda Culinesse, it's about 45 gr of butter
0,7 dl sugar
1 dl flour
0,25 dl soyflour, I add it so that the finished thing doesn't crumple so much
½ dl soymilk
½ dl oat cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons of San Francisco drink mix, for a flavour of bananas, yum yum
1 beetroot, this is optional, I just add it so it can get more color, and I'm going to use beetroot for my lunch. Anyway, just peel your beetroot, and then just peel ten little bits of it into the batter and mix a while and see the color change, then just pix the beetroot up.

Preparation Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 175 C or 347 F. Line a small baking pan with wax paper.
Add the butter with the sugar and mix.
Then add the flour, mix.
Add the soy milk and the oat cream, mix.
Then add everything else and mix.
Pick up the beetroot if you added any.
Then just get it all into the baking pan and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes.
Take the cake out and let it cool completely.


Step Two:
Ingredients:
25 grams of room temperature butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon of the San Francisco drink mix
1 dl powdered sugar

Preparation Instructions:
Mix it all to a creamy frosting that should taste delicious!
Take the cake and crumble into a large bowl, add the frosting into the bowl and mix till it's smooth.
Then take your mixture and just roll them into little balls, or big if you want(I get about 25) and lay them on a wax paper.


Step Three:
Ingredients:
50 grams of chocolate, I used Isis Luxury Belgian Pralinoir 'cause it's my favorite
0,25 dl oat cream

Preparation Instructions:
Cut the chocolate into small piece and put into a bowl.
Heat the oat cream to a boil, immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth.
If you use the same chocolate as me you should sift it first to get rid of all the bits, so the decorating tip doesn't clog.

Add the Ganache mixture into a piping bag and use a #230 Round Decorating Tip and just add some ganache filling into each of the cake balls, then put them into the freezer for 1-2 hours.


Step Four:
Ingredients:
175 grams of dark chocholate
0,25 dl sugar
½ dl almond flakes
½ ml of some blue frosting color, or random other color


Preparation Instructions:
Heat the chocolate over an water bath or in the microwave.
Chop the almonds and put in a small bowl.
Mix the sugar with the frosting color, so you'll get blue sugar.
Take the cake balls out of the freezer and start to dip them into the melted chocolate, use a spoon to cover the cake ball with chocolate, then pick it up and put it back on the wax paper.
Now just sprinkle some almonds and blue sugar over the sucker and repeat it for every single one of them, then just wait for them to dry and then eat and enjoy.
Yum yum!

Here you see the ganache filling.

Here you can see some of the ganache filling

Here I just took the left over melted chocolate put it in a plastic bag, cut a little hole in one corner and just drizzled some over.

And it's so NOM NOM NOM!

Giving in

Yes.
I'm giving in to what the people want.
People meaning my friends and what they want meaning my recipes.
I just hate writing recipes, I hate following them too, I'll just read a recipe and then do it my way,
All the cooking books I own has my notes in them, what to do, and what to don't, what else to add and so on.
But my recipes should be followed, 'cause they are perfect.
Ehm.
No, if you don't want to follow them, then don't, and if you do something different and it works even better then please contact me and tell me so I can make the recipe even better.

It was supposed to be first in English and then a translation into Swedish,
But do you know who much effort and energy it takes to write a recipe?!?
There wont be any translations!
You can use tyda.se if there's a word you don't understand.
Good luck.

I'll add my first recipe later today, when it's done, and I have pictures of the finished product.
Now I'm gonna make lunch.
Bye!
