SHF Round Up #68 – Brown Butter

September 10, 2010 at 2:31 pm 15 comments

There are so many changes, so many new things to absorb. I’m sleeping in a new bed, shaking hands with new people, going to new (and incredible) classes – but little things keep reminding me of home. Texts from my mom, Skype with my friends, and emails from bakers participating in August’s Sugar High Fridays. The theme was brown butter – here’s the round up.

Allison of Zucchero Dolce made this beautiful Almond Cake with Raspberry Filling & Brown Butter Frosting.

Heather of Souffle Days used browned butter to make Salted Browned Butter Shortbread.

Jamie of Life’s a Feast incorporated the theme ingredient into a super unique, colorful “Peach Melba My Way.”

Denise of Oh Taste n See used buerre noisette in her Browned Butter Pound Cake.

Rebekah of The Cooking Vent baked a batch of Browned Butter Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Xiaolu Hou of 6 Bittersweets browned butter for the first time for these Browned Butter Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pizzookies.

Emily of Ales And Emily made these beautiful Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Janet of The Taste Space baked up golden and summery Blueberry Peach Brown Butter Muffins.

Denise and Lenny of Chez Us rose to the challenge with their Brown Butter and Wildflower Honey Gelato.

Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen made Rava Kesari (Indian Semolina and Saffron Halwa or Pudding). She’s also the lovely host of Sugar High Friday #69, bite-sized desserts, so head over to her blog for the September announcement!

My friend Ivonne, co-creator of the Daring Bakers, was kind enough to help me out with the round up. You can see Part 2 of the round up on her blog, Cream Puffs in Venice.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

      Tia, just visit Aparna’s blog and make a dessert that fits the theme. She’ll have instructions on what to send in (usually a photo, your name, and a link to your blog.) And that’s it! You’ve participated! There’s no official way to join.

    We use browned butter a lot in Indian cooking, especially our sweet dishes, but I’m excited to see here how its used in bakes.

    Thanks for hosting SHF, picking a great theme and a lovely round-up. Am off to see the rest of it at Ivonne’s.
    And have fun at school. :)
