Day 8

we brought home a lot of things on this day, but we'd been working on some of it for a few days.


Clafloutis

this is a custard with blueberries floating in it. the huge bubble in the crust isn't really my fault. the beans got taken out too early when the shell was baked, and it popped up. this one was ok. i liked the custard better than the custard in the alcasian tart.

Spritzers

these are little lemony cookies that are piped. they have raspberry jam, chocolate, or hazelnut centers. they taste kind of like pepperidge farm.

Fig Newtons

these are like from the grocery store. except not at all. i like them. these are made with a compote of dried figs, but i think they could be really amazing with fresh figs.

Vanilla Crescents

these are crumbly little cookies made with hazelnut flour. i love them.


while these were warm, we rolled them in vanilla sugar. we save all the used vanilla pods, then when there are enough, someone grinds them up with sugar. it's a nice touch.
