Instructions

  1. 1 In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until very thick, about 5 minutes. Stir together the flour and cardamom, add it to the egg mixture alternately with the heavy cream.
  2. 2 Heat the krumkake iron over the stovetop on medium high heat. When it is hot enough a drop of water will dance around on the surface. Drop batter by tablespoons onto the center of the iron. Close the cover and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Carefully peel the cookie from the iron, and roll in a tight roll or cornucopia shape using metal forms or wooden dowels. Remove from forms and continue with more batter.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Prepare the Crust: Whisk together flour, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. 3 Add butter; using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until butter pieces are no larger than a dime.
  4. 4 Drizzle ice cold water over the flour and butter mixture. Gently combine until no dry spots remain and the mixture resembles a shaggy dough.
  5. 5 Form the dough into a rectangular block and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a rimmed baking sheet on the center rack of oven. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. 7 Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches, constantly turning and moving the dough to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled dough to the lined baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes.
  8. 8 Prepare the Filling: Halve rhubarb stalks lengthwise and cut into 8-inch pieces. Combine rhubarb pieces, white sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cardamom, and orange zest in a large bowl; mix well. Let stand 5 minutes.
  9. 9 Remove the dough from the fridge refrigerator. Place the rhubarb side-by-side in an even layer in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges towards the center of the galette (the edges will overlap with some of the filling). Pinch pleats corners firmly to seal.
  10. 10 Whisk together the egg and tap water in a small bowl. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  11. 11 Remove baking sheet from oven; carefully slide the galette and parchment paper onto the preheated baking sheet in the oven.
  12. 12 Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the rhubarb is softened, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

  1. 1 Whisk together white sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of the raspberries and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and mashing raspberries with a wooden spoon, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from saucepan to a medium bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, orange zest, cardamom, and almond extract with an electric mixer on medium speed in a medium bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and chill until ready to use.
  3. 3 Place 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured piece of parchment paper. Roll into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Cut 10 to 12 (3 inches long and 1 inch thick) diagonal strips on each side, about 1 inch apart, leaving center 3 inches of pastry uncut. Spread 1/2 cup of the cream cheese filling in center (uncut) section of pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top and bottom.
  4. 4 Top with 3 tablespoons of the raspberry mixture, and spread raspberry mixture gently over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup raspberries.
  5. 5 Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl. Brush exposed pastry lightly with egg mixture. Fold strips over filling, alternating each side to resemble a twist or a braid. Fold the bottom ends up to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry and the rest of the filling. Brush outside of each pastry with egg wash.
  6. 6 Transfer pastries, on parchment, to separate baking sheets. Freeze until pastry is firm, about 1 hour. (To make ahead, wrap Danish in parchment and then plastic wrap; freeze up to 1 month.)

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, one half at a time; stir to combine. Strain hot tea and slowly pour into the batter and stir until smooth; batter will be thin. Pour into the prepared cake pans.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  6. 6 While the cakes are cooling, combine water, sugar, and tea bags for simple syrup in a small pot over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar has dissolved, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  7. 7 Brush simple syrup over cooled and leveled cakes until the majority of the cake has absorbed the syrup. Do not oversoak the cakes; you want enough syrup to soak in and keep cakes moist and flavorful without flooding them. Place cakes in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until ready to decorate.
  8. 8 Combine cream cheese, butter, and ginger for frosting in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and blend until smooth. Frost cake.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that there is a 2 inch overhang on the two long sides of the pan. (This makes it easier to lift the pie bars out of the pan after baking.)
  2. 2 Beat the butter, brown and white sugars, and vanilla extract for crust in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the flour and salt; mix at low speed until combined. Refrigerate dough for 10 minutes.
  3. 3 With lightly moistened hands, press about 2/3 of the crust mixture evenly along the bottom of prepared pan; refrigerate pan for 5 to 7 minutes. Place the remaining 1/3 of the crust mixture in the fridge until needed.
  4. 4 Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool. Leave the oven on.
  5. 5 To prepare the filling, toss the pear slices and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt; toss well to coat. Spread the pears evenly over the crust.
  6. 6 Tear the reserved crust mixture into small pieces. Using your hands, combine the walnuts with the dough and scatter the mixture evenly over the pears.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven 1 hour, rotating pan halfway through, until the pears are fork-tender and the topping is golden brown. Cool completely in the pan, 1 to 2 hours.
  8. 8 To prepare the caramel sauce, combine the sugar and water in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves.
  9. 9 Increase the heat to medium-high; bring to a boil-without stirring, but instead, regularly swirling the pan and occasionally brushing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Cook, swirling and brushing regularly, until the syrup turns a deep amber color, 12 to 17 minutes.
  10. 10 Gently pour in the heavy cream (the caramel will foam and bubbly up vigorously). Add in the butter pieces and stir gently until smooth. Remove the caramel from heat and stir in the salt.
  11. 11 When ready to serve, use the parchment overhang to lift the slab from the pan and slice into bars. Drizzle with the caramel sauce.
