A Smaller Version of Ree Drummond's Burned Cheese Cake

In a small household one does not need a bread with 3lbs of flower or a big cake.  I am starting to get experience with the process of changing recipes, so it is enough for 2-3 people.
The original version can still be found here .

I used
  • 1 lbs of cream cheese (original Philadelphia)
  • 2/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup of white granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp of all purpose flower
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of kosher salt (oops, I forgot that one)
Grease a 8" spring form generously with butter. 
Preheat the oven to 400F.
In a kitchen machine bowl I added the cream cheese, the eggs and the sugar. I wanted to get that mixed up first. The cheese came out of the fridge, so it needed some time to get smooth. Then add all the remaining things.

Bake for 30 minutes. Then the skin was already colored pretty good. I turned down the temperature to 375F and baked it for another 10 minutes. Use a think stick to test if the cake is done. It is done if it comes out clean. I usually use a bamboo bbq stick for this.

Turn off the oven. I usually leave a cheese cake for another 5 minutes in the oven and then take it out to cool down.

1/3 I gave to my neighbors. And that is all that is left over now. It was supposed to be for tomorrow. Oh well.

No Knead Easy Bread

Image
I didn't have a chance to go shopping after work yesterday. I need an easy bread, that works around my work schedule. This one does the trick. The recipe is from the internet, but I cut all in half. 225g bread flour, (all purpose will work as well) 3/4 cup of warm water 1 tsp of rapid dry yeast 1 tsp of kosher salt In a bowl mix the salt, dry yest and flour. Add the water and mix it with a fork or a wooden spoon until there are no flour pockets left. The dough will still be sticky. Cover the bowl air tight. I use cling wrap for this.  All this takes about 5 minutes. Set aside in a warm spot. My warmest spot is my computer room. The warmest spot in the computer room is on a running laptop. The work day can start. About 2.5h later I pre-heat the stove  to 450F with a Dutch Oven including the cover inside. After another 30 minutes it is lunch time. The dough has doubled. I just got myself a silicon baking matt. This makes a lot of things easier and I don't need to mess up the cou...

Potatoes with Butter and Quark

Image
 This is a very fast and easy to make recipe, if you discount the waiting time. Quark (home made) 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup milk I prefer to use 2% milk Mix the milk and a butter milk in a bowl and cover. Let it stand at room temperature for 24h.  Cover a strainer with cheese cloth and strain the mixture over night in a fridge. This gives about 1 cup of quark. Add some milk back if it is to stringy. Quark is very versatile, it can be made sweet by adding fruits and jams or savory. I like the savory version better. So finely chop some onion to get a generous table spoon of chopped onions and add some chopped chives. A little bit of milk, salt and pepper, stir to the consistency one likes.. Set for another 4h in the fridge so the flavors can mingle. With the onions  and spices added it can stand in the fridge for 1 day. Without anything added several days. At lunch or dinner time, cook some potatoes. Serve  both together with a slice of butter and a side salad. -Mahlzeit-...
