Add food coloring to get the right tint you need for your cookie recipe. Yield: Makes about 3/4 cup frostingPrep time: 5 minutesCook time: 5 minutes Ingredients 2 cups powdered sugar 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk 1 tablespoon light corn syrup Food coloring (optional) Directions Place 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons whole milk, and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle a bit of the icing off of the whisk or a spoon over the bowl of icing; if the icing holds its shape for a few seconds before melting back into the icing, it’s ready to use. If it is too thick, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon milk, checking consistency before adding more until the icing is the right texture.

Blueberry Scone Recipe

Add these to your dessert to-do list. Scones are sweet and more buttery than a muffin, and pair perfectly with a morning coffee or tea. They are often thought of as dry, but this recipe is anything but. The scones are left buttery, flaky and loaded with plump and sweet blueberries. Yield: serves 8 Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 15 to 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 medium lemon 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter 1 cup cold heavy cream 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw) Directions: Prepare the dry ingredients. Finely grate the zest of 1 medium lemon. Place half the lemon zest, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Prepare the lemon sugar. Place the remaining lemon zest and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a small bowl and rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers until fragrant. Grate in the butter. Grate 1 stick cold unsalted butter on the large holes of a box grater directly into the flour mixture. Toss with your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour, breaking up any large flakes of butter. Mix in the cream. Measure out 1 cup cold heavy cream. Transfer 1 tablespoon to a small bowl. Drizzle the remaining cream over the flour mixture. Stir with a silicone spatula until the cream is absorbed. Knead and shape the dough. Knead the dough in the bowl with your hands just until big clumps form and all the loose flour is incorporated (be careful not to overwork it). Gather into a ball and place on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll into an 8×10-inch rectangle that’s about 1/2-inch thick, with a longer side closer to you. If the dough cracks, push it back together. Add the blueberries. Evenly arrange 1 cup blueberries in a single layer over the lower two-thirds of the rectangle, and press gently them into the dough a little (it’s fine if some break). Fold the dough. Starting with the top, berryless third, fold the dough lengthwise into thirds like a letter. If any blueberries roll out, just tuck them back in. Gently press down on the dough to compact slightly. Roll and cut the scones. Roll the dough out into an 11×4-inch rectangle that’s about 1-inch thick, again with a longer side closer to you. If the ends become tapered, square them with your hands or a bench scraper. Cut the dough crosswise into 4 pieces: cut straight down, do not saw back and forth. Cut each piece in half diagonally to form 2 triangles. Transfer the 8 scones to a large plate (or parchment paper or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet if your freezer has the space). Top the scones. Brush a thin layer of the reserved 1 tablespoon heavy cream onto the scones. Sprinkle with the lemon sugar and gently press on it so it adheres. Freeze the scones and heat the oven. Freeze the scones for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Bake the scones. If needed, transfer the scones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them evenly apart. Bake until light golden brown, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Source: the Kitchn

Quick Cherry Jam Recipe

Nothing tastes quite like homemade. Bring home a bundle of cherries for a simple jam. It’s sweet, and deeply flavored, suitable for beginners and experienced jam-makers. It has a thick, chunky texture that’s perfect for spreading on toast. Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 cups Ingredients 2 pounds sweet cherries, pitted 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice Pinch salt Instructions Place the cherries in the bowl of a food processor or blender, and pulse at 3-second bursts several times to partially chop the cherries. Most of the cherries will be broken down, although some will stay whole. Be sure not to purée the cherries. Place a saucer or small plate in the freezer. This will be used to test the jam consistency later. Place the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt in a large, nonreactive saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is slightly thickened and looks like it’s beginning to gel, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. The jam will be loose but should coat the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it sets. To test for doneness, add a small spoonful of jam to the plate that was placed in the freezer, then return it to the freezer for about 2 minutes. Remove the plate and gently nudge the jam with a spoon or your finger. If it wrinkles, it’s done. If not, cook the jam for another 5 minutes and repeat. Transfer the jam to a glass jar and cool completely. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Source: the Kitchn

Easy Pumpkin Roll Recipe

With Halloween right around the corner, there’s no better time than to bake up a spiced pumpkin cake that tastes just as good as it looks. It’s designed to be flat, which you’ll spread with just the right amount of cream cheese to help hold it in it’s spiral shape. Rolling cake can be intimidating but this recipe has all the essential tips outlined to ensure it’s absolutely foolproof. Yield: Serves 10 to 12Prep time: 1 hourCook time: 30 minutes Ingredients For the cake: 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup pumpkin purée 3 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar For the filling: 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 4 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting the cake 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions Prepare the baking sheet and heat the oven. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. To make shaping the cake easier, draw a 10×15-inch rectangle on a sheet of parchment paper. Flip the paper over and use it to line a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Whisk together dry ingredients. Place the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the sugar, pumpkin, eggs, and vinegar. Add the sugar, pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, and vinegar, and whisk to combine. Spread the cake into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even 10×15-inch rectangle using the template you drew. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Roll up the cake while still warm. Using the parchment paper, immediately slide the cake onto a large, clean kitchen towel. Working quickly and carefully and starting at a short end, roll the cake and parchment paper up into a tight roll. Use the towel to guide the cake into the roll and to make the cake easier to handle. Wrap the rolled cake completely in the towel. Cool the cake in the towel for 30 minutes. Let the rolled and towel-covered cake cool completely, at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling. While the cake cools, make the filling. Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer and large bowl.) Beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat on low speed until smooth. Unroll the cake, fill, and reroll. Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling over the cake in a thin, even layer, leaving a 1/4-inch border around all sides. Gently reroll the cake, tucking the short end into the frosting and using the parchment to gently ease the cake up over itself and creating a tight roll. Chill and slice. Refrigerate the rolled cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. A serrated knife helps cut through the cake without squishing your well-earned spiral. Source: the Kitchn
