I make these all the time. It’s another one of Chef John’s recipes I really like. Be sure to cool the crust before you add the lemon custard. Sometimes I hurry the process by placing a slightly cool pan on a tray of ice cubes. It’s hard not to be impatient when you’re waiting to eat a lemon bar.

I believe the cake batter needs salt. I am going to try that modification and see if I am happier with the taste. The texture is fabulous, but the taste seems somewhat bland. I checked other recipes for sour cream coffee cake, and noticed they include salt.

So savory! This is our new method of enjoying artichokes. It is reasonably easy and actually takes less time.

second recipe I tried-what a difference melted butter and double the sugar makes. my mom claimed, “Always taste the dough and you’ll know how the final product will taste.”. In this case, the batter is flavorful and predictive of a great waffle.

I think this is an excellent brownie for those who like a darker chocolate and less sweet brownie; that just isn’t my preference. I realized my mom’s recipe was similar but involved more sugar and butter, less chocolate chips, and nuts; that meets my brownie craving better.

This is my go-to recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs every time. I am grateful the cook made it so easy and reliable.

My sweetie said no beer, and the kids said no tomato paste, so I am not sure this even counts as Irish Stew. I also used chicken broth as the liquid, halved the recipe, doubled the onions, and quadrupled the garlic. After browning the meat, a boneless chuck recommended by the butcher, and sauteeing all the veggies in butter, I boiled the stew on high for two hours and simmered on low for four more. I will likely make it again, though I would like to try the beer/tomato paste broth.

I modified this recipe, both accidently and purposefully. I put twice as much sugar in the date filling unintentionally, and that worked out fine for the sweet tooths in the family; I substituted a cup of oatmeal for a cup of the flour to help lower the carbs. (Okay, a total moot point with the extra sugar - and datesin general.). We have come to like all our crisps and crumbles with more oatmeal and less flour. I loved this recipe; it tasted like mom's-though I need to add walnuts to the date filling for the mom-replica. I would make it again tomorrow if the carb watchers would agree.
