Fried milk (traditional recipe)

Let's do our bit to make sure this delicacy, the authentic fried milk recipe, doesn't disappear! I was eager to bring a homemade dessert, one that's much loved and, interestingly, is being lost in many households that don't have a grandmother nearby. So today I bring one of the most popular desserts in our country, especially typical of Holy Week (in fact, it also goes by the names Easter milk, Lenten milk or Basque milk).

Parisian Flan

I love making sweet preparations, whether tarts, desserts,… I enjoy any of them — with fruit, with cream, with or without pastry. But above all I like them not to be excessively sweet, that is, so I can appreciate all their nuances rather than have them masked by too much sugar.

Chocolate cake with olive oil and chocolate ganache

I discovered long ago that pure cocoa and oil work very well. Personally, I love cakes made with butter, but olive oil gives an unmatched flavor and texture to cocoa cakes.

Cannelés, authentic recipe for French pastries

These French pastries called Cannelés have always been one of my little treats. I used to buy them in Saint-Jean-de-Luz when we went for the day. They originate from the beautiful city of Bordeaux but are commonly found throughout France.

Traditional Aranese cream

I don't know if you're familiar with the typical Aranese cream from the Vall de Arán. It's a custard similar to crème brûlée or crema catalana, but here vanilla essence is added instead of cinnamon and lemon. In some places I've also tried it with a touch of anise.

Waffles with peanut butter

There's nothing like waking up to the smell of freshly made waffles. Making waffles is like making pancakes, you never make enough and if on top of that they are a different flavor then it's one of the best ways to start the day, although I'll tell you that at home they're liked just as much in the morning as in the afternoon.

Cornmeal waffles with blueberry compote

Today we offer you another easy waffle recipe, but this time made with corn flour (which you can substitute with gluten-free flour to make gluten-free waffles). We suggest pairing it with a blueberry jam that adds contrast and flavor. Delicious waffles for breakfast!

Calatrava Bread

Related to the family of flans and the puddings, Calatrava bread may be one of the easiest and most rewarding recipes to prepare. Its basic ingredients couldn't be simpler: milk, eggs and sugar, to which a portion of pastry or bread (hence its name) is added as the main feature. Basically, a classic egg flan only with a bonus. Not bad, right?

Toffee Panna Cotta

We leave summer behind but there are still days when you feel like having cold desserts. I already have my Bundt pans ready to bake a lot this autumn but I’m also using them for other preparations like today’s: a panna cotta, which is a dessert with a texture similar to flan, very silky and truly delicious. There are different versions of panna cotta: from the simplest, with vanilla, to more sophisticated ones.
