  1. 1 Steps to Make It
  2. 2 Gather all ingredients.
  3. 3 Whisk 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Make a well in the center.
  4. 4 Whisk water and egg yolk together in a small bowl until smooth; pour into the well and mix to form a stiff dough.
  5. 5 Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  6. 6 Roll dough with a rolling pin until thin, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  7. 7 Brush melted butter over top and roll dough into a log.
  8. 8 Cut the log crosswise into about 24 slices. Roll each slice into a disk.
  9. 9 To Make the Empanadas:
  10. 10 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill each empanada disk with about 1 tablespoon of your favorite filling. (Try lola's recipe for Empanada Pork Filling to make Filipino-style empanadas.)
  11. 11 Fold the disk over the filling into a half-moon and seal firmly.
  12. 12 Place empanadas onto a foil-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with beaten egg white.
  13. 13 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

  2. 2 Whisk egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan until light lemon yellow and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in1 to 1½ tablespoons lemon juice, depending on how tart you like your sauce.
  3. 3 Add 2 tablespoons cold butter to egg mixture. Place the pan over very low heat and whisk constantly until butter melts and mixture thickens enough to see the bottom of the pan between strokes. (If the mixture starts to thicken too quickly or look grainy, remove it from the heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon cold water.)
  4. 4 Remove the pan from heat. Whisk in remaining cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated and smooth.
  5. 5 Gradually whisk in the melted butter, adding just a few drops at first, then a slow, steady stream. Keep whisking vigorously to create a thick, smooth sauce. (If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon warm water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.)
  6. 6 Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

  2. 2 Place basil leaves into boiling water and blanch until leaves are bright green and slightly soft, about 10 seconds. Remove basil leaves with a fine mesh strainer and place into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain basil, wrap in a paper towel, and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  3. 3 Place egg yolks into a container with a base slightly larger than the base of a stick blender, such as a measuring cup or large beer glass. Add garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil leaves, and Dijon mustard to egg yolks. Pour vegetable oil over the top.
  4. 4 Push stick blender all the way to the bottom of the container. Pulse blender 6 or 8 times, about 1 second per time, until mixture begins to emulsify on the bottom. Once mayonnaise begins to form, raise the stick blender slightly in the container and continue to blend until all oil has run through the blender, mayonnaise is thick, and basil is finely chopped, 10 to 20 more seconds. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a bowl. Mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.

  1. 1 Place 1 cup of tarragon, shallots, and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pour in white wine vinegar, white wine, and water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and reduce liquid to about 3 tablespoons, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing tarragon mixture to extract as much liquid as possible.
  2. 2 To make the compound butter: Place 1/4 cup chopped tarragon and capers in a mortar. Mash with a pestle for about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of cold butter. Mash and pound with a pestle until ingredients are thoroughly combined in a solid mass. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap; wrap and chill.
  3. 3 To make the Béarnaise sauce: Place egg yolks in a stainless steel (flameproof) mixing bowl; add 3 tablespoons tarragon/shallot reduction; whisk together. Add cold butter cubes. Place bowl over low to medium heat whisking constantly until sauce thickens, as you hold the bowl with a kitchen towel. After butter melts continue whisking; mixture will turn a lighter yellow color after 8 to 10 minutes. When mixture is nice and thick, reduce heat to low and stir in compound butter broken into chunks. Continue whisking. Remove from heat. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

Instructions

  1. 1 Warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2/3 cup sugar and stir to dissolve, about 3 minutes. Make sure milk does not boil; turn off heat if necessary.
  2. 2 Whisk eggs and egg yolk by hand; do not overmix. Pour slowly into the warm milk-sugar mixture and stir continuously over low heat for 1 1/2 minutes.
  3. 3 Strain through a tightly woven mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any solids that may have formed. Add vanilla extract to the bowl; mix until well combined. Set aside.
  4. 4 Pour 1 cup sugar into a wide skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until sugar has evenly melted and turned a golden caramel color, about 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a pressure cooker-safe cake pan, coating the bottom with liquid sugar. Pour in custard. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. 5 Place a trivet in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and add 1 cup water. Place the cake pan onto the trivet and close and lock the lid. Seal the valve and select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  6. 6 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes, then turn the valve to Venting to release remaining pressure. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the trivet and pan.
  7. 7 Allow to cool for 1 hour, then chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, or overnight. Slide knife carefully around the edges and hold the bottom securely as you invert onto a large serving dish; the caramel should drip over the flan and onto the plate.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil without stirring to avoid the mixture crystallizing. Continue to boil, swirling the pan occasionally, until sugar syrup begins to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and watch the color.
  3. 3 Once the caramel is a deep brown, 2 to 3 minutes, immediately pour it into a 10-inch flan mold. Carefully tilt the mold to make sure the whole bottom surface is covered.
  4. 4 Combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir lightly to prevent bubbles or foam from forming; strain batter.
  5. 5 Place a roasting pan large enough to hold the flan mold on the oven rack. Fold two 32-inch long sheets of foil lengthwise in quarters to make strips. Cross the strips and place the flan mold in the roasting pan, with the ends of the strips extending over the edges of the roasting pan. Crimp ends slightly to keep them in place.
  6. 6 Slowly pour the custard mixture into the caramel-lined flan mold.
  7. 7 Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the mold. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until firm and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven. Carefully remove the flan mold from the roasting pan using the foil strips. Let cool on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until completely cool, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. 9 Run a paring knife around the edges of the flan. Cover the mold with a rimmed platter and carefully flip it over to release the flan from the mold for serving. Scrape any excess caramel from the mold over the flan.

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. 2 Sift the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the coffee, oil, and egg yolks into the well; beat well by hand until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
  3. 3 Beat egg whites with the cream of tartar in a large bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Fold the batter into the egg whites; pour into a non-stick Bundt® fluted tube pan.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Loosen the sides with a knife and release the cake onto a serving platter.
