Pecan Belgian Waffles with Strawberry Sauce

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my pecan Belgian waffles with strawberry sauce. All opinions are mine alone.

Pecan waffles with strawberry sauce make a delightful brunch entree.

 

I love waffles, my kids love waffles, my husband, not so much. I don’t make waffles as often as I used to so when I made these pecan Belgian waffles with strawberry sauce a few Sundays ago the kids were delighted. This waffle recipe has just a touch of sweetness from the small amount of brown sugar.

 

LorAnn Oils butter dough bakery emulsion.

 

What really gives these pecan Belgian waffles with strawberry sauce their amazing flavor is the bakery emulsions from LorAnn’s. The first time I used the buttery dough bakery emulsion, in the Italian Almond Cookies, I could immediately tell a difference. The cookies had a delightful yet subtle butter flavor.

 

So I thought I’d give it a try in this waffle recipe. I was right to do so. The one teaspoon I used elevated the flavor like I never imagined.  You may be wondering what a bakery emulsion is. From the LorAnn website: A baking emulsion is a flavor suspended in a base containing mostly water.  In contrast, baking extracts are flavors suspended in a base containing mostly alcohol. What I love about the emulsions is the pure flavor and scent. It is not medicinal like imitation flavors can be.

 

Strawberry sauce

 

I thought why not add a bit of the strawberry emulsion to the strawberry sauce. It elevated the flavor there too. Rather than mixing the pecans into the batter, because someone didn’t want them, I tossed them into the batter once I poured it onto the waffle iron.

  • 2 eggs (I used England's Best)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon LorAnn Buttery Sweet Dough Bakery Emulsion
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar (I used Imperial Sugar)
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup pecans
  • For strawberry sauce:
  • 1 1 /2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or more, to taste (I used Imperial Sugar)

  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Heat waffle iron and brush with vegetable oil, if necessary.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until fluff. Beat in flour, milk, LorAnn Buttery Sweet Dough Bakery Emulsion, oil, brown sugar, baking powder and salt just until smooth. Stir in pecans.

  4. Carefully remove and repeat with remaining batter. Serve with strawberry sauce.
  5. To make strawberry sauce:
  6. In a medium saucepan combine strawberries, sugar, LorAnn strawberry bakery emulsion. Heat to boiling then reduce to simmer. Using forks, a potato masher or pastry blender (my favorite), gently mash the strawberries.

Very Vanilla French Toast Bake with Butter Pecan Topping

by 8 Comments

Click to share!

I received a bottle of Nielsen Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. With it I created very vanilla french toast bake with butter pecan topping. All opinions are my own.

Very vanilla French toast bake with butter pecan topping is perfect for when company comes.

 

In all honesty, I have never before used vanilla bean paste. It’s been a long time since I’ve even used a vanilla bean. I tend to stick with pure vanilla extract, and none of that imitation stuff. So when I was given the chance to work with Nielsen Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, I jumped at the opportunity. I love making overnight breakfast dishes, including my overnight nutty coffee cake.  I had a loaf of french bread I needed to use so this very vanilla french toast bake with butter pecan topping came to life.

 

Nielsen Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste adds a richness to any recipe.

A Few Thoughts About Nielsen Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste

  1. It’s thick. Very thick. Just looking at it you may think you should use less than if  you were using pure vanilla extract. Not so. You can substitute pure vanilla bean paste for vanilla extract at a 1 to 1 ratio. Meaning if your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of extract, you would use 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste.
  2. I would consider this more of a syrup than a paste. The consistency has a bit of a flow whereas I when I think of a paste I think more of a solid rather than liquid.
  3. The aroma is intoxicating, in a delicious way. There are so many ways to use ingredient. Add it to milkshakes, smoothies, baked good, even your morning coffee.
  4. Pure vanilla bean paste is not as intimidating to work with as I originally thought. Find out for yourself and enter to win a bottle at the bottom of this post.

 

Overnight company will appreciate waking up to Very Vanilla French Toast Bake with Butter Pecan Topping.

 

My family thoroughly enjoyed this breakfast dish. It would be absolutely perfect for any holiday or when overnight guests come to visit. It’s best made with day old bread and a loaf of French or Cuban bread would is ideal. While dinner cooks, whip up this dish and place in the refrigerator until morning when you are ready to bake. Be sure to let the butter for the topping soften on the counter overnight. If you really wanted to, you could whip up the topping in advance as well but it does need to be softened to spread on top of the bread before baking. Is this the healthiest dish for you? No, not at all, but we all need a little indulgence once in a while.

Dried Cherry and Almond Scones

by 7 Comments

Click to share!

Dried cherry almond scones are a delicious addition to a brunch table.Can you believe it’s almost Easter? Already! These dried cherry and almond scones would be an easy and delicious addition to your brunch table.

Although I have other scone recipes on the blog, this recipe is actually the first one I ever made. I was never really a scone fan until I made this recipe. This recipe is a bit more moist than a traditional scone recipe. I think that because they are more on the moist side they were a hit with my family. The almond drizzle really makes the scone. I’ve made these for friends on a few occasions and they have always been well received.

Typically scone recipes only make a few, about six or eight. If you’re thinking of serving them on a brunch buffet you may want to consider offering a selection. Apple cinnamon scones with salted caramel drizzle and strawberry scones with lemon glaze would also be nice to offer guests. If you wind up with leftovers, they are easily warmed in a low oven. I’m sure you could warm them in a microwave but that’s not my preferred way.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add drained cherries and orange zest, tossing to coat. Make a well in the center and set aside. In another small mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk and sour cream. Add mixture all at once to dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir until combined. Mixture may seem dry.
  4. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough by folding and gently pressing for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 to 12 wedges. Arrange wedges 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Top each wedge with sliced almonds, gently pressing into the dough.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  6. Make the glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients. Stir in enough additional orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is drizzling consistency.

Individual Warm Chocolate Truffle Cakes

Individual warm chocolate truffle cakes are perfect for any occasion.I love individual desserts for a few reasons. First, it’s always fun to get your very own dessert. Second, it’s portion control and third, there are no tempting leftovers. These individual warm chocolate truffle cakes are rich and delicious but not too heavy to indulge in after a meal. That makes them ideal for dessert after a holiday meal like Easter.

These individual warm chocolate truffle cakes are really a chocolate lover’s dream come true and if you like truffles, you will definitely enjoy this dessert. It’s a fairly dense cake but moist with a melt in your mouth texture.

Make this dessert not only for Easter, but it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’ Day or a small birthday celebration. I just lightly dusted them with confectioners’ sugar but you could top them them with fresh berries and whipped cream was well.

Other recipes on the blog with individual servings include this delicious apple crisp, these chicken pot pies, swiss and asparagus tarts, and individual skillet chocolate chip cookies.

Italian Cream Cake with Nutty Cream Cheese Frosting

by 26 Comments

Click to share!

Italian Cream Cake is a delicious dessert.This post has great timing. I’ve made an Italian Cream Cake to celebrate Italian day, which is a part of my heritage. My maternal grandparents were from Italy and I recently got my DNA results from 23&Me. Those results confirmed my Italian heritage of which I am very proud. I often try to weave all things Italian into family gatherings. This cake being the most recent contribution.

When looking for something to make I once again turned to my Mom’s recipes. I already have some Italian recipes on the blog like baked ziti and Grandma’s Italian meatball sub so I wanted something sweet. In her recipe book here was this cake. I’ve had Italian cream cake before and loved it.

The history of this cake is a bit muddied. I’ve read where it was made by an Italian baker living in the southern United States. It’s also called Italian wedding cake and it’s made for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. One thing is for sure coconut and pecans are a part of every recipe I’ve found. As is buttermilk. My Mom’s cake uses part butter and part shortening. The crumb is delicate and delicious. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical of the shortening butter combo but my husband said it’s the best cake I’ve ever made and I’ve made a lot of cakes! He’s even asked for it for his birthday cake which isn’t until October.

Feel free to decorate the cake with pecans any way you wish. I used what are called minis because I had purchased them on our last trip through Georgia. Use chopped pieces and press them into the side of the cake. You could even stir the small pieces into the frosting and decorate with pecan halves around the top. Use your imagination.
