I have been wanting to try Flour Bakery’s sticky buns recipe. I first discovered the iconic pastry watching an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay and Chef Joanne Chang won. I have yet to visit the Boston bakery, so, until then, this recipe will give me a taste of what I’m missing.
Ah, winter is here. I much prefer sunny, warm weather, so the one bright spot during this chilly season is the arrival of Meyer lemons. I started testing this recipe at the tail end of their season last spring and struggled with it. The filling sunk beneath the crust and I tabled it, until now. After my third test, I got it and I’m glad I can share the recipe with you. If you have any alternative ideas to what I came up with, please do let me know in the comments below! Would love to hear them.
Nothing says the holidays like cranberries! Every Thanksgiving, I look forward to using them for chutney to serve alongside the turkey, and I always end up with extra cranberries. So, why not use them for dessert?
Before Aloha Kitchen became a cookbook, I was fortunate enough to have taste-tested Alana Kysar’s recipes first-hand. We met at work several years ago and became fast friends after submitting entries into a baking contest. (She won first place.) She lived near me, and one day, she brought over cute boxes of Mochiko Chicken and Butter Mochi. I intended on splitting them over the course of two meals but, as soon as I started eating, I could not stop. It was all so homey and wonderful. I’m so glad she put everything into print so I can re-create these dishes whenever I’m craving Hawaiian food.
