make these : donut muffins

Prior to giving birth to Remy, I went on a baking rampage. It was probably due entirely to my nesting instinct. It was during this time that I tried quite a few different recipes, especially when it came to muffins. One such recipe was donut muffins. I made them with my husband in mind, since he is a huge fan of donuts. He said that they were the best things that I had ever baked. I took that as a compliment.

This is how to make your own donut muffins. For the original recipe, click here.

Donut Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine, melted
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 12 muffin cups.

2. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups about half full.

3. Bake in the oven until the tops are lightly golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.

4. While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted margarine in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.

in november

Welcome, December readers!

Another month has gone by, and here we are only weeks away from Christmas and the New Year. Say what?

Here is what happened over on Hello, Scarlett in November.

I celebrated the passing weeks of my pregnancy. I began the month at 22 weeks, and ended it at 26 weeks! Baby is now the size of an eggplant. Huzzah! #🍆

There were many OOTDs and promotions in the store this month. I also had two fashion posts. One featured a romper that I had purchased online, and the other a dress that I bought in town.

There were three food-related posts as well. The first was a brilliant dessert, the second was a look into coffee, and the third was a mason jar brownie recipe.

I discussed our new crib in this post. I also introduced my newest nephew to all of you!

There was only one DIY this month. It centred around babies, of course.

As for our weather, we went from having no snow to having a lot of snow. Much of it has since melted, and for the rest of this week we will be having temperatures above 0°C (32°F). That is extremely warm for the prairies.

Last but not least, I not only celebrated my 30th birthday, but said goodbye to my mother as well. (Don’t worry, she’s still alive!)

All in all it was a fairly easy month. Now, to start preparing for the madness that is December.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

carrot cake

Well, my friends, the Hutterites did it again! Today I am presenting to you another fantastic recipe that I found within the same book as my previously posted dessert. This time, however, I’ll try to lay off the cursing.

I’ve tried a lot of Carrot Cakes in my day. Growing up, my mum often made it and so I came to really like only hers. Every other recipe that I had tried paled in comparison. The cake that my Baba would make was filled with nuts and was made without the icing on top. In my eyes, Carrot Cake just isn’t complete without that added sweetness. I also don’t care for nutty desserts. I’m not a chipmunk, people. Although, my cheeks are quite chubby.

That being said, I obviously made this Carrot Cake WITH icing and WITHOUT nuts. However, you can do the opposite, or just do one and not the other! Either way, these ingredients are going to be an utterly delicious, super duper scrumptious success!

Carrot Cake:

Cake:

1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup cooking oil
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups finely grated carrots

Icing:

3 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup butter
splash of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Sift dry ingredients together.

2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

3. Pour mixture into a greased 13x9x2 inch cake pan.

4. Place into oven. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Let cool.

5. Combine icing in medium bowl. Spread evenly over cake.

6. Dive into your mouth-watering treat, and enjoy!

Sorry mum, but I think that I might have just retired your recipe. This one is too amazing for words (or swears)!

a damn good rhubarb dessert

Hey guys. One quick question. Do you like rhubarb? I mean, really like it? Like it more than any other vegetable around? I do. I just cannot get enough of this tart treat. I actually tried rhubarb flavoured soda the other day at a vegan restaurant, and it was the best soda that I’ve ever had. Like, ever.

One thing that I look forward to every summer is adding rhubarb to all of my desserts. Whether it’s in pie, muffins, cake, crumble, or a sauce all by its lonesome, whichever foods are socially acceptable to combine it with, I will be doing it. I guaran-damn-tee it!

Sort of as a joke, but also out of curiosity, I picked up an old cookbook at the library called “The Hutterite Community Cookbook.” Old as in 2002. Which, in today’s standards, with the millions of new food fads and diets out there, that’s ancient. However, it is the 3rd expanded edition, so you know that whatever kick-ass recipes are in the book have been tried and perfected among the Hutterites. Maybe I shouldn’t have put kick-ass and Hutterite in the same sentence. Twice.

FYI, the copyright page in this cookbook informs me that, “No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted by any means, electronic or mechanical … without permission in writing from the publisher.” So I apologize in advance to any members of the Hutterite colony for using, albeit tweaking, one of their rhubarb recipes (not to mention swearing in this post). Feel free to contact me if you would like me to remove it. Until then, all is fair in love and war (and baking)!

Rhubarb Cake:

Cake:

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
2 cups chopped rhubarb
2 tbsp cinnamon

Icing:

3 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup butter
splash of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Cream sugar, butter, and eggs together. Add remaining ingredients in order given; mix well.

2. Pour into a large, greased cake pan. Spread evenly.

3. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Let cool.

4. Combine icing in medium bowl. Spread evenly over cake.

5. Place in refrigerator until its ready to eat!

This was honestly such an amazing dessert. If I were to change one thing, it would be to line the bottom of the cake pan with a crumble. Other than that, chalk up one major success to the Hutterites!

a blogger’s dozen: susan’s gingerbread bunnies (y.i.a.h.)

I am so honoured to have Susan Parry sharing her gingerbread cookie recipe on A Blogger’s Dozen. Susan joins us all the way from Australia. She is a wife, mother, baker, cook, blogger, and the heart, body, and soul of ‘Your Inspiration At Home’. This beautiful and delicious recipe today is not only tried and tested out to be scrumptious, but is also just in time to serve as an additional Easter treat. So whether you are reading this post on your android, computer, iPhone, tablet, or by any other electronic means, keep in mind that it is roughly a sixteen hour plane ride from Canada to Australia. Suffice it to say that this post has traveled half way across the world to come to you today, so it’s guaranteed to be a great one.

Emory

Gingerbread Bunnies:

125 grams of butter

½ cup of sugar

1 large egg yolk

2 cups of plain flour

3 teaspoons of Gingerbread Spice

2 ½ tablespoons of golden syrup or honey

assorted decorations

Preheat oven to a 150°C or moderate oven. Cream butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg yolk and beat well. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix well. Warm golden syrup in microwave on low and add to the mixture and mix well. Knead mixture and roll out to about 3mm in thickness onto a floured table. You can cut shapes from cookie cutters or make your own shapes as we did. Place onto trays lined with greaseproof paper. Bake for 10 – 15 mins approximately until golden brown. Decorate with buttons before they have cooled or use icing after they have cooled. Let cool before serving. Makes about 12 – 20 depending on the size of your cutters or shapes.

Have fun with this and I am sure it would be a winner. Please head on over to my blog if you would like to follow me and if you would like to check out my products head to my website which sends to the USA and Australia. Happy baking!
