Old Fashion Donuts (Basque Rosquillas)

This was my beloved amatxu’s (mom’s in basque) recipe for donuts. We used to eat the all the time during cold winter afternoons with spanish style chocolate (that means ridiculously thick hot chocolate… yum!!!). I just wanted to share her awsome coocking with everybody. They are delicuious and very easy to make. The anissette kick is wonderful!!! Enjoy

Gateau Basque

This is practically irresistible – it resembles a rich buttery shortbread that is complimented with a subtle almond flavored filling. The dough does need to be put in the fridge overnight.

Gateau Basque (French Custard or Jam Tart)

Another great recipe from Dorie Greenspan. It is a traditional dessert from the Pays Basque region of France with a double cookie-like crust and a custard, use recipe #405945, or jam filling. It’s not overly sweet and can be enjoyed any time of day. It’s very sturdy and therefore good for transporting. You can use different fillings like blueberry jam, sweet cranberry relish, or even lemon curd. This simple dessert is best plain or with a little whipped cream or ice cream. Doug requires at least 30 minutes to chill. Storing: Wrapped well, the jam-filled cake will keep for a day or so at room temperature. You can also keep the cream-filled cake overnight, but it will need to be refrigerated. However, because refrigeration can dry cakes. It’s best to serve the cream-filled cake the day it is made.
