Summer Solstice Honey Cakes ☀️🌻

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

you are my savior

just discovered RSL was Atticus Finch in a 2013 play of To Kill a Mocking Bird. I’m going insane trying to find any photo or video evidence of this.

I’ve seen lavender syrup and lilac sugar trend so here’s a recipe using one of my favorite flowers/weeds, the dandelion. They grow easily, remind me of childhood innocence and hope, greens can be used in salad, and can even flavor honey with them. Recipe for vegan “dandelion honey” aka dandelion syrup. Tastes great in teas.

Dandelion Syrup

Ingredients:

Dandelion flowers (about 60)

1-1/2 cup water

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar (or 1/4 cup honey)

1/2 lemon, juice and zest

Instructions:

Harvest dandelions! Note: You can harvest in advance of making this syrup. Put blooms in an air-tight freezer bag in the freezer until you’re ready to get started.

Snip off blossoms from the green base into a container. Then rinse the flowers and pat dry. (You can skip this step to retain more of the pollen which is good for the immune system. If you are concerned about bugs though, inspect closely or they will also be strained out later.)

Add flower heads and water to a pot. Bring to a boil, and let it boil for 30 seconds to a minute.

Then remove the pan from the heat and steep over night (or at least 8 hours).

The next morning, strain the liquid into another pot or bowl. You can strain over a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer, squeezing out as much water as you can.

Return the strained liquid to the pot and discard the flowers. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and juice to the pot and simmer for one hour.

Let the syrup cool. Note: The syrup won’t thicken until it has cooled. Once it has cooled, taste it with a spoon. Adjust to taste with sugar and lemon juice.

That’s it!

Transfer to a sterile class jar or container and leave to cool completely. It can keep in the fridge for up to a month.

Baked Cheesecake Donuts

For the doughnuts:

½ cup warm water

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast

4 large egg yolks

1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar

2 ½ (319 grams) cups all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon fine salt

4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature

¼ cup heavy cream

For the filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

¼ cup heavy cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted

Preparations:

Make the doughnut dough:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the water, zest, vanilla, yeast, eggs, and sugar. Gradually add in the flour then salt, mixing until absorbed. Add the butter and cream and beat on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or until a smooth sticky dough forms. Remove the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.

For the cheesecake filling:

Meanwhile, make the filling.

In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, cream, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Finish the doughnuts:

On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out to about ½-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds from the dough. Place on a large parchment-lined baking sheet spacing far apart. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the doughnuts for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool enough to be handled.

In a shallow dish combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Dip each warm doughnut in the melted butter, the coat in the cinnamon sugar.

Remove the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a long filling tip. Insert the tip into the side of a doughnut and squeeze the filling inside to fill. Repeat for the remaining doughnuts. Top each doughnut with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture then drizzle with jam.

Doughnuts are best served the day they’re made.

Green Tea Cookie Choux

500ml milk

45g flour(all purpose flour or cake flour)

5g green tea powder 

1tsp vanilla extract

200ml heavy cream

20g sugar

Directions:

Green tea pastry cream 

1. In a mixing bowl, add and mix egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract until pale yellow. And then, add green tea powder, flour and mix well. 

2. In a milk pot, add and simmer milk. You can add vanilla bean now instead of adding the extract in step (1). 

3. Slowly add warmed milk to (1)egg yolk mixture and mix well. 

4. In a pot, pour the (3) mixture and constantly stir until creamy on medium heat. 

 5. Transfer to bowl, cover with wrap and let completely cool. 

Green tea Craquelin

1. In a mixing bowl, soften the butter kept at room temperature, add and mix the sugar, green tea powder and flour. 

2. Make the dough into a ball, cover the top and bottom with plastic wrap or put in a bag and roll it to 2~3mm thickness.

3. Freeze before use. 

 Choux pastry

1. In a pot, boil water, cubed butter and salt. Turn off the heat when butter is melted. And then, add flour and mix with a spatula. 

2. When flour is completely incorporated, turn on the heat again until a thin coat forms on the bottom of the pot.

3. Transfer the batter in a mixing bowl and cool it until lukewarm.

4. Beat the egg in another mixing bowl, slowly add the beaten egg into the batter and mix well using spatula.

5. Transfer the pastry batter into a piping bag and pipe into 3~3.5cm sized balls. 

6. Cut the craquelin using a circle cookie cutter and place on the pastry batter.  (I used cookie cutter at 3cm diameter.)

7. Bake into preheated oven at 180℃ for 20~25min. Temperature and baking time may vary due to type of the oven. Be careful not to open the oven in the middle, or the choux will sink. 

 Assembly

1. Gently fold cooled green tea custard cream using spatula. 

2. In a mixing bowl, add and whip heavy cream and sugar until soft (about 60% whipped). If you want the cream thicker, whip the heavy cream more before mixing in the cream. 

2. Stuff the green tea cream into cooled choux and enjoy
