| Ingredients: | | l | 1 packed cup light brown sugar | | l | 1 cup flour | | l | ¾ cup chopped pecans | | l | 1 egg | | l | 1 stick melted butter | | Directions: | | þ | Spray mini-muffin tin with PAM. | | þ | Mix brown sugar, flour and pecans. | | þ | Combine with egg & butter in mixing bowl | | þ | Spoon mixture into muffin tin. | | þ | Bake at 325° for 18 minutes or until | | | just turning brown around the edges. Do | | | NOT over cook or they will be hard. | | þ | Let stand 10 minutes in muffin tin before | | | serving. If you try to remove them in less | | | than 10 minutes they won't hold their shape. | | | If you wait longer they won't pop out easily | | | and you'll ruin many trying to dig them out. | | þ | Yields 24. | Heritage House Hot Fruit Compote | Ingredients: | | l | 2 cans peaches, drained & cut into bite size pieces | | l | 2 cans pears, drained & cut into bite size pieces | | l | 2 cans pineapple chunks | | l | 1 can apricots, drained & cut into bite size pieces | | l | 12 to 14 marachino cherries | | l | 3 Tbs flour | | l | 1 cup brown sugar | | l | 1 tsp cinnamon | | l | 4 Tbs butter | | l | Devonshire Cream (see recipe) | | Directions: | | þ | Spray 4 qt. baking dish with PAM | | þ | Add drained & sliced fruit | | þ | Mix dry ingredients and sprinkle evenly | | | over fruit | | þ | Dot with butter | | þ | Bake 1 hour @ 325° | | þ | Allow to cool some, then stir to blend in topping | | | and to segregate cherries | | þ | Spoon compote into serving dishes | | þ | Drizzle back & forth with Devonshire Cream and | | | top with one of the baked cherries | | þ | Makes about 12-14 servings | | Tips: | | | Ø | Layer prepped fruit in order beginning with | | | pears on bottom (closest to heat since they take | | | longer to break down into soft tissue consistent | | | with rest of fruit ingredients). | | Ø | Next make a pocket for the cherries (if these are | | | exposed among the top layers, they will tend to | | | toughen). | | Ø | Finally add the pineapple chunks, peaches and | | | apricots. | | Ø | You can optionally just use a tablespoon dollop | | | of Devonshire in lieu of the drizzle, but it is not | | | as striking a presentation. | French Toast De la Madeleine | Ingredients: | | l | ¾ of 1 lb. loaf French bread | | l | 6 oz. cream cheese | | l | 1 stick of butter | | l | 9 eggs | | l | 2 cups heavy cream | | l | 2 cups milk | | l | ½ cup of syrup | | l | ½ tsp. salt | | l | 2 tsp. vanilla extract | | l | Cinnamon sugar | | l | Powdered sugar | | Directions: | | þ | Spray bottom of 9x13 baking dish with PAM. | | þ | Cube bread into ¾" cubes and put in baking dish. | | þ | Cube cream cheese and sprinkle over bread. | | þ | Melt butter and drizzle over bread. | | þ | Mix eggs, heavy cream, milk, syrup, salt & | | | vanilla and pour over bread. | | þ | Mash down with a fork, cover and refrigerate | | | overnight. | | þ | Sprinkle heavily with cinnamon sugar for color | | | before baking. | | þ | Bake at 350° for 65 minutes or until | | | golden brown. | | þ | Allow to cool 6-8 minutes to firm up. | | þ | Slice and serve with Homemade Syrups. | | þ | If served à la carte, sprinkle powdered sugar | | | over the serving plate and serve without syrup. | | þ | Yields 10 servings. | Heritage House Signature Cookies | Ingredients: | | l | 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature | | l | ¾ cup firmly packed light-brown sugar | | l | ¼ cup granulated sugar | | l | ½ tsp salt | | l | 1 tsp pure vanilla extract | | l | 1 large egg, room temperature | | l | 2 cups all-purpose flour | | l | ½ tsp baking soda | | l | 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped | | l | 6 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped | | l | 8 ounces pecans, chopped (2 cups) | | l | 24 perfect pecan halves | | Directions: | | þ | Preheat oven to 375°. | | þ | Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. | | þ | In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle | | | attachment, cream butter and both sugars until light and | | | fluffy, about 4 minutes. | | þ | Add salt and vanilla, and mix to combine. | | þ | Add egg, and continue beating until well combined. | | þ | In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. | | þ | Slowly add dry ingredients to butter mixture. | | þ | Mix on low speed until just combined. | | þ | Stir in chopped pecans and both chocolates. | | þ | Using an ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out | | | dough, and place about 6 balls on each baking sheet, | | | about 3 inches apart. | | þ | Flatten each ball slightly, and gently press a pecan half in | | | the center. | | þ | Place baking sheets on 2 center oven racks. | | þ | Bake 7 minutes & rotate pans between oven shelves. | | þ | Bake another 6 to 8 minutes or until just brown around | | | the edges. | | þ | Remove from oven, and let cool slightly before removing | | | cookies from baking sheets to cool on wire racks. | | þ | Repeat process with remaining dough. | | þ | Yields 2 dozen large cookies. |
