First, mix together the dry and wet ingredients in two separate bowls. Combine the sugar, flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and salt in a medium bowl. Then, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and water in a large one.
Finally, bake! Transfer the pan to a 325-degree oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs attached. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for up to a month. Last time I made these, I doubled the recipe and stored the second batch in the freezer. It was so fun to have them on hand for a quick and easy dessert or afternoon treat!
Recipes are wonderful. The functionality and amount of ads on this site make it unusable. Not only did i not purchase anything from the waterfall of ads, i now need to avoid this website in the future.
This is the best recipe for tzatziki I have tried. I do add about 4 cloves of garlic (personal preference) but the recipe itself is so yummy without the extra addition. Family favorite! Thank you!
MAKE AHEAD:
Prepare meat sauce up to 3 days ahead, cover and refrigerate until needed. Assemble lasagne (without cheese topping) up to 2 days ahead, cover and refrigerate until needed. Add cheese and bake as directed in recipe.

Add cheese and bake as directed in recipe. Freeze leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in fridge and reheat as above.
Well worth the effort, though am wondering when I'll gather the courage to make it again! Very happy with the outcome! As always Nigella your recipes are fail proof even for novice cooks like me. Thank you for sharing!
My friends asked me how I planned to spoil my dogs for National Spoil Your Dog Day, and of course the answer included baking. Like any special day, I think we should celebrate with cake. A puppy approved dog cake!
This dog cake is packed full of great ingredients, including peanut butter, applesauce and pumpkin. It comes together and bakes up just like any other cake, but is perfect for your pets. The optional frosting is made from peanut butter and yogurt.
While this dog cake recipe is SUPER easy, I know that sometimes a cake mix is what we all reach for. Well guess what, I found some awesome cake mixes for dogs. Check these mixes out! They even have grain free options.
This is a recipe originally posted back in 2013, and one of my all-time favorites, based on a cookie I enjoyed during our honeymoon in Italy. Not to be confused with the crunchy amaretti croccanti you buy by the bag (might I suggest making your next pumpkin pie with those?) these soft amaretti are chewy on the outside and almost marzipan-like in the middle. In other words, simply divine.
I spent an entire Saturday making batch after batch (I split the recipe into quarter size mini batches, weighing out everything precisely in grams, and noting each changed variable in my recipe notebook).
I tested beating my egg whites to soft peaks and stiff peaks and even tried egg whites than were just barely beaten to a froth. I tested cookies with and without a tiny bit of flour (spoiler: it makes no difference in the final cookie, so I ended up removing it completely from the revised recipe to make them 100% gluten free). I tested cookies baked on a single cookie sheet and stacked cookie sheets and longer bake times and shorter ones. I mostly baked from room temperature dough, but I also tried chilling and even freezing the dough first. With a few small variations (most notably the version I added a bit of baking powder just for kicks), most of my cookies ended up looking virtually identical.
I also tested increasing the quantity of egg white, which is what I suspected as the cause of spreading cookies. I whipped up batches with 60g, 64g, 68g, and 72g of egg whites (a 20% increase!) and popped them in the oven to see what would happen.
The one variable that seemed to make the biggest visual difference was actually different brands of almond flour, I assume because the moisture levels can vary so greatly from one brand to another (also how fresh the flour itself is). A cookie made with older/drier almond flour held its shape much more than a fresher flour.
And what would you know, they looked completely different. Not entirely spread out, but they are noticeably flatter with larger, rougher cracks. Other than it being Sunday, the recipe was identical to what I had baked the day before. Go figure.
In the end, I actually like the way they look better than the stiffer balls from Saturday, the cracks are more dramatic and, especially with a thicker coating of powdered sugar, really highlight the texture of the cookie. So maybe it was meant to be afterall.
Let me just say that while your cookies might not look identical to mine, maybe they spread more or cracked less or browned more on the bottoms, regardless of what they look like, they will still taste fabulous.
Traditional amaretti morbidi (soft amaretti) do use some bitter almond or even ground up apricot kernels (which have a similar intense almond flavor, believe it or not). Since bitter almond flour is pretty much impossible to find here in the States, I used a little almond extract instead to help amp up the almond flavor in its place. But by all means, if you have access to bitter almond flour, use it! 20g or so should do you just fine.
With a chewy crystalized crust, crunchy browned bottoms, and a soft, marzipan-like center, these cookies are the ultimate almond cookie. Not to mention they are incredibly easy to prepare and ever so satisfying. They keep well and stay soft for days, making them perfect for make-ahead holiday parties and cookie gifts shipped across the country.

Remember when food trucks started popping up and became all the rage a few years back? The Waffle Love food truck was one of the original food trucks to go crazy here in Utah. They always had a line for days no matter where they were. In fact, they have now opened over a dozen brick and mortar locations in Utah, Idaho and California and their food truck is still going strong!
Belgian pearl sugar is small crunchy clusters of condensed beet sugar used to add pockets of sweetness and texture to liege waffles. There is also Swedish pearl sugar which has smaller clusters or pearls.
We think that spreads compliment the waffle much better than a syrup because of how dense the yeasted waffle is. A nice layer of spread that gets all melty on the how waffle, topped with some sort of fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream or crme frache is the perfect combination. Here are some ideas:
You might be asking yourself if these waffles really are a breakfast food or more of a dessert. The answer is yes! They are great for breakfast, brunches with friends, breakfast for dinner or for dessert. And this may sound crazy, but I actually also love to top them with a fried egg over easy and a couple strips of bacon. Sweet and savory is one of my favorite combos!
Make Ahead: I mentioned above that the waffle dough could be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator covered tightly in plastic wrap until ready to bake. Just make sure that you let the dough come to room temperature before cooking.
Freezing: These waffles freeze extremely well both before and after baking. If you want to freeze the dough, form the dough balls and then wrap them well in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. Let them thaw completely and come to room temperature before cooking.
You can also freeze the cooked waffles. Let them cool completely and then wrap them in plastic wrap. Store them in an airtight container or ziploc bag. Both the dough frozen or the waffles frozen will keep for up to 3 months.
Copycat Waffle Love liege waffles are a yeasted waffle dough recipe that results in waffles that are crispy crunchy, almost caramelized, on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Top your waffle with your favorite waffle toppings and indulge in this one-of-a-kind waffle recipe!
Check the note on the recipe. You could make the dough ahead of time and just keep it in the refrigerator until about an hour before you want to cook them. It just needs to come to room temperature before baking for the best flavor. Sounds like a fun party!
If you follow the directions listed underneath the ingredients, the 1.5 tsp of sugar is for the warm water to activate the yeast. The 3 tbsp of sugar is beat together with the butter. Sorry about the confusion!!
Thank you so much for this recipe! These blew my mind! We had some friends over for coffee Sunday morning and I decided to make these to go with our lattes. I made the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator. It took a couple hours in the morning to warm up again but no kitchen mess when our friends came over. Everyone was blown away. They looked almost like regular plain waffles. It was fun to hear the noises of surprise and delight after everyone took their first bite. They were so delicious. Almost like a croissant, a donut and a waffle in one. We ate ours straight out of the waffle iron with the caramelized sugar crunch coating on the outside. So good! Thanks for a great recipe! Its a keeper!
