Mulled Cider
I first enjoyed this tipple on a cold Canadian evening in the town of Whitehorse in the Yukon in 2013. We were on a trip to hopefully sight the Northern Lights. Some friends of friends who lived in town had picked us up from the airport and entertained us for the evening. Dinner included reindeer, bison and caribou sausages, red eyes (beer and clamato juice) and mulled cider. Every winter since has seen me pull out this recipe with much delight.
Miso Peanut Biscuits
I had to share this recipe if only to try convince people how delicious these are. One taste and you’ll be an immediate convert. Earthy, peanutty perfection.
Almond & Coconut Macaroons
Some recipes call for the addition of almond or vanilla essence but I honestly don’t think they add anything to the finished product. I want the simple comfort or toasted, sweetened coconut when I’m craving a coconut macaroon. Even their almost uniform colour seems appropriate.
Cheese Lovers Biscuits
Just like when making pastry, the use of a food processor will mean the dough does not get overworked. Yes, you can make this recipe without one, just be mindful to maintain a light hand.
Gingerbread Biscuits
Traditional and easily executed, these gingerberead biscuits are a staple in our house anytime we fancy a little baking fun.
