Does anyone have a great T&T Brioche recipe?
Comments (6)Alexa, I'm not sure this is the recipe I used and you didn't specify loaf or rolls but you could hardly go wrong with an Ina Garten recipe. Mini Brioche Rolls Total Time: 12 hr 5 min. Prep40 min. Inactive11 hr 5 min. Cook20 min. Yield:20 rolls Ingredients: 1/2 cup warm water (110 to 120 degrees F) 1 package dried yeast 3 tablespoons sugar 6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature 4 1/2 cups unbleached flour 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash Directions: Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (If the bowl is cold, start with warmer water so it's at least 110 degrees when you add the yeast.) Mix with your hands and allow to stand for 5 minutes until the yeast and sugar dissolve. Add the eggs and beat on medium speed for 1 minute, until well mixed. With the mixer on low speed, add 2 cups of the flour and the salt and mix for 5 minutes. With the mixer still on low, add 2 1/4 more cups of flour and mix for 5 more minutes. Scrape the dough into a large buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. The next day, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Meanwhile, grease 20 mini brioche tins. Set aside. Place the dough in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the softened butter in chunks, and mix for 2 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to make a ball. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and divide the dough into 20 (1 3/4-ounce) balls and place them in the tins. Cover the tins with a damp towel and set aside to rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the rolls have risen, brush the top of each with the egg wash and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back and it sounds slightly hollow when tapped. Turn the rolls out onto a wire rack to cool. jude....See MoreKey lime pie cupcake recipe needed please.

In small bowl, mix 1 cup powdered sugar and enough of the 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice until glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle and spread glaze over cupcakes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, beat in vanilla and 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar until mixed; beat on medium speed until fluffy. Frost cupcakes, mounding and swirling frosting in center. Garnish with lime peel.

Garnish each cupcake with a small piece of jellied lime candy slice instead of the lime peel.

Comments (8)Oil is typically not used in a white cake, they require a solid fat - shortening/butter/coconut oil, or a combination of solid fats (some recipes will include half shortening and half butter - the butter contributes flavor). CAKE 101 - Cakes are classified according to whether or not they contain fat. The majority of cakes are either shortened or unshortened; a third category is chiffon cakes. Shortened cakes are also called butter or conventional cakes and use a solid fat. Examples of shortened cakes include the standard plain white, yellow, chocolate, spice, Bundt, pound cakes, and fruit cakes. The solid fat is combined with the sugar (creamed) until it's light and fluffy and the cake is leavened with chemical leavening. The solid fat contributes to tenderness, volume, moistness, and flavor. Oil coats the flour proteins which prevents them from adhearing to water. This reduces gluten formation and leaves more moisture in the batter. An example of this is a tea bread or quick bread. The addition of a liquid fat (which can be a melted solid fat or a vegetable oil) will result in a heavy and compact cake (think banana bread or pumpkin bread which are quick breads, not cakes). Unshortened cakes, also known as sponge or foam cakes (include angel food), use no fat, but get their volume from beaten egg whites. Chiffon Cakes are a hybrid of shortened and unshortened cakes. The fat, usually from vegetable oil and egg yolks, is combined with foamed egg whites, cake flour, and leavening agents. Common examples include lemon or chocolate chiffon cakes. One of the best white cake recipes is from Betty Crocker - SILVER WHITE CAKE, but it's made with shortening, and you can find the recipe on-line or in all the older Betty Crocker cookbooks (Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book). If you find a white cake that uses liquid vegetable oil, it's an anomaly, or includes a commercial mix. -Grainlady...See MoreDoes anyone have this recipe?
Comments (18)A few years back, 5 perhaps, someone posted a Kalhua bourbon chocolate bundt cake made with a cake mix. It also had a ganache. It was SO good. I don't recall who posted it and I've lost the recipe. Does this ring any bells with anyone?...See More- 9 years ago
