Re:Searchin' for US recepies
Hi Sylvain, I am from the US...I love learning about the French language and also about cooking. I also love to bake! I have some wonderful recipes from my grandmother for cookies. I also have a really great recipe for miniature dark chocolate pies. They are always the hit at every party we have!
here is the recipe for the chocolate pies:
part 1: dough (this will make 48 pies) - you will need small miniature pie pans for this. A 24 count pan works well.
1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese
2 sticks of butter
2 1/2 cups of flour
pinch of salt
mix dough lightly two knives. (make dough crumbly). Then roll into two balls. cover and refrigerate for about two-four hours.
Take chilled dough and break into small pieces, roll into small balls, then place into pie pans. press dough into pans with fingertips and make into little pie shells. (it's not that hard once you get the idea, you can also press them first with a small pistle or wooden handle).
Prepare pie filling: need a double boiler or I just use a large pot of hot water on stove top, then smaller pot to place filling in.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
you will need to put in small pot:
1 (12 ounce) bag semi sweet chocolate chips (Nestle-is what I use)
2/3 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of butter
4 tablespoons of milk
2 eggs (beaten), put in last
1 tsp pure almond oil and 1/2 tsp, pure vanilla (these are the secret ingredients!)
(nuts will go on top of pies right before baking)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (finely chopped)
Heat chocolate mixture over heated water until melted and mixed well. Chocolate will be somewhat thin, thinner than icing.
pour 1 tablespoon mixture into pie cups (at least 3/4 full).
add chopped nuts on top (just a little for each, not alot!)
Place pies in oven for approx. 18-20 minutes. (Check at 18 to see if puffy and done). Take out when puffy and slightly hard on top.
Voila!...Best chocolate pies around!
Here is also a great chocolate chip cookie recipe!
You will need two bowls. Preheat oven to 370 degrees
first bowl:
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
second bowl:
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 sticks (very good butter) -best butter very important for taste
mix these ingredients thoroughly-use a mixer...it's faster
add 1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond oil (my grandmother swears by this!)
Add in flour mixture to egg/sugar/butter mixture, slowly.
When all mixed add in 1 (12 ounce) bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
(you can add walnuts or pecans if you want. I do not)
drop by teaspoon fulls onto cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes (light golden brown)
You will be very happy with these too!
Hope that helps you!
au revoir....a bientot!
