Easy Baking Dessert Recipes

About Easy Baking Dessert Recipes Android App

This app started with butter balls, those nutty rounds coated with powdered sugar that are also known as Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding cookies, or Greek kourabiedes. When I was making a big batch, I found myself short on white flour and butter. I happened to have whole wheat and rye flours in my freezer, and I always keep extra-virgin olive oil on hand, so I decided to use them instead. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure how the cookies would come out. But when I tasted them, I went from apprehension to eye-rolling bliss. I hadn’t imagined they could taste any better than the classic version, but they did—much better, in fact. The whole grains highlighted the toasty nuts, while the olive oil introduced a complex richness, making the cookies even more melt-in-your-mouth. My kids, always my most honest—and, therefore, harshest—critics, gave me their verdict by begging for more. Once the cookies had passed that high bar, I served them to chefs and food editors to get their professional opinions. They unanimously declared them the best

Cane and beet sugar are unparalleled in their ability to add sweetness and moisture to baked goods. As much as possible, though, the recipes in this app use a variety of less-processed sugars, from fruits to honey or maple syrup to raw sugar or coconut palm sugar—ingredients that add bigger, deeper flavors while delivering vitamins and minerals.

I love efficiency nearly as much as I love baking, so I cut out extra bowls and appliances wherever I can, streamline steps, and make cleanup easier. The “better” in Better Baking refers just as much to the foolproof techniques and shortcuts in this app as it does to the tastier treats themselves.
