10-04 Pumpkin apple muffins

So I have fall fever now. Love these foods I don't make until it gets cold and the leaves are falling as well as the rain....
If you are missing one of the minor spices, don't worry or add in that much of whatever suits you.

Mix together in small bowl:
1 c flour
1 c whole wheat flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t dry ground ginger
1/2 t ground allspice
1/4 t cardamom
1/4 t ground clove
1/2 t salt
In separate larger bowl, mix together:
3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks)unsalted butter, melted
1 c brown sugar
Whisk into the sugar bowl:
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
Then stir in:
1 c (about 1/2 a 15 oz can) pureéd pumpkin (the leftover from your pumpkin apple stew)
Now mix in the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture.
Then stir in:
3/4 c applesauce or freshly grated apple
Optional additions are
1/2 c dried cranberries, raisins, etc.
1/2 c toasted nuts like pecans, etc.
Pour batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees until they pass the clean toothpick test.

To make this into a dessert (& add some serious calories-1/2 of the total from fat), add the following topping before baking-
Mix together to make a crumbly mix:
4 T unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c rolled oats
1/4 c flour
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
pinch salt

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
