At my daughter’s request, I made chouquettes.

Baked a Dutch apple taart last night. Combination of my Mom's recipe and Cees Holtkamp's recipe (https://youtu.be/C5YzHQMxo1w?si=B-u69vcWtWI5Hmin). Thrilled with how it turned out. Spoiler alert for raisin haters -- this taart / pie contains apples and raisins. 😉

As long as blueberries are on sale, I'll keep baking with them.  Today I made this one, https://www.washingtonpost.com/recipes/blueberry-cornmeal-cake/   I no longer own a cast iron skillet so I made it in a 9 inch square pan.  Realize I lost some crunch-factor, but cast iron is too heavy for me now.  I found good homes for my older cast iron pieces.

@gulfporter I saw that recipe - did you like it?  It looks really good.

Yes we both liked it....the cornmeal gives it both a good texture and taste. as does the buttermilk.  I don't yet have a mixer at my US house and I liked how easy it came together with a whisk, then a spatula.  The butter was melted when added.

Raspberry almond tart with one lonely peach. We had this with a little sour cream ice cream. Hoping to get more excellent peaches at the FM tomorrow!
