It's around freezing here at the moment, so a hot, steamed pudding seemed like a good idea. Plus I was looking for an excuse to christen my newly acquired individual moulds...

 

 

 

With Bird's custard, naturally; and a blob of plum caramel because it was just sitting in the freezer not doing much.

So beautiful! How do you make plum caramel?

I mentioned it last summer when I had a super-abundance of plums. If you don't have Dana Cree's book*, she says that it's from a Chez Panisse recipe. But if this is it then it's not quite the same (although at the end of the day it really is just puréed fruit mixed with caramel). @ElsieD tried it with peaches and liked it.

 

*PM me and I can give you some pointers.

Hi, I made a batch of the ubiquitous cinnamon scrolls.

Rum-buttered Almond Cookies from last year's NYT Cookie Week...

 

 

 

They were fine, but the expected buttered-rum deliciousness didn't really come through, despite a good bath in the stuff. 

 

A handsome cookie, no doubt, and simple enough to make, so probably worth chucking into a selection for the visual appeal.

They are beautiful cookies. It seems to me that the Almond flavor would cancel out a lot of the rum goodness.

If you hadn't reviewed it, I would have added to my list of to do recipes because they do look quite appealing.
