This impressive golden puff of a pancake is baked in a cast iron skillet in a very hot oven. It will fall a little as you carry it, still in the skillet, from oven to table and it should be eaten right away. While this Apple Puffed Pancake only needs a generous dusting of confectioner’s sugar, it is also very good with maple syrup. Continue Reading →

Chocolate and Cinnamon Babka Buns
This recipe is from My Tiny Alaskan Oven
by LaDonna Rose on November 12, 2018 in Breakfast, Desserts, My Tiny Alaskan Oven, Recipes
I am a huge fan of chocolate babka, which is a sweet, yeast dough rolled and wrapped around a chocolate and cinnamon mixture that when cooked, delightfully melts in your mouth. I first learned about babka from the show Seinfeld and I was intrigued. My second babka experience happened on a trip to New York. Passing by a bakery one day, I was awestruck by the rows and rows of muffins, croissants, danishes and breads, but what stood out above everything else was a chocolate babka bun. I didn’t order one, but looking at it I was hooked into the challenge of making my own. I have made this Chocolate and Cinnamon Babka Buns recipe many times and everyone loves it! It’s a great recipe and it never fails to bring a smile to all who participate in devouring it. Continue Reading →
