Lemon Butter Cookies One taste of this simple sweet biscuits, and you will be baking them all the time! Canadian maple syrup, baked right into these easy biscuits, is as sweet as it gets. A “Must try” for all the bicuit lovers.

Ingredients To Make Canadian Maple Biscuits Recipe
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter
1 cup milk

Directions To Make Canadian Maple Biscuits Recipe
Pour the melted butter and maple syrup into a 9-inch cake pan, swirling it around to mix well. Toss the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then cut in the cold butter, mixing, with your fingertips until the texture is like soft bread crumbs. Stir in the milk. Turn the dough out and knead it gently about 6 turns - just enough for it to hold together.
Either pat the dough or roll it out to a 1/2-inch thickness, then cut it into 9 rounds. Arrange the rounds in the cake pan on top of the maple-butter mixture, and bake in a preheated 375° F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned and the syrup is bubbling up around them.
Serve hot from the pan.

Leave a Comment

Chocolate Cheesecake with Amaretto-Amaretti - Cheesecake has always been a popular dessert, and we tried to make this one really stand out. Featuring chocolate,amaretto and amaretti, they don’t get much sweeter than this. It really is quite a distinctive flavor we know you will adore this easy baking recipe.Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Main Ingredient: Chocolate, Cheesecake
Difficulty Level: 3

Ingredients to make Chocolate Cheesecake with Amaretto-Amaretti

CRUST:
7 oz Amaretti (see note)
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 oz unsweetened chocolate,1 sqare
5 Tbsp sweet butter

FILLING
6 oz semisweet chocolate
7 oz Amaretti
4 oz almond paste
1/3 cup Amaretto liqueur
1 1/2 lb cream cheese
1/4 cup granulated sugar at room temperature
4 eggs (large or extra-large)
1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions to make Chocolate Cheesecake with Amaretto-Amaretti

Step 1:(CRUST) Butter the sides only (not the bottom) of a 9-inch spring-form pan (2 1/2-3 inches deep). Grind the Amaretti very fine in a food processor or blender. Mix with sugar in a mixing bowl. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler, stirring occasionally. Add the melted mixture to the Amaretti crumbs and sugar and mix thoroughly. (Don’t wash the double boiler; you’ll be using it again in a minute.) Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. With your fingers, distribute it evenly over the bottom and press it down into a very firm, compact layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Step 2:(FILLING) Adjust rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 deg. F. Partially melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler, then uncover and stir until completely melted. Remove the top of the double boiler and set aside to cool. Break the Amaretti coarsely into a bowl and set aside. Cut the almond paste into small pieces, and beat on low speed with an electric mixer, while gradually adding the Amaretto liqueur. Beat until thoroughly mixed, and set aside.

Step 3:the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until smooth again. Add the almond paste-Amaretto mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed. Add the melted chocolate and beat well again. Add the eggs one at a time, beating at low speed until they are incorporated after each addition. Add the heavy cream and beat until smooth. Add the coarsely broken Amaretti and stir gently only to mix. Turn into the prepared pan, pouring the mixture over the bottom crust. Rotate the pan gently to level the batter. (Don’t worry if the mixture comes almost to the top; it won’t run over.) Bake 45 minutes. It will seem soft and not done, but don’t bake any more; it will become firm when chilled.

Step 4:NOTES Amaretti are Italian almond-flavored wafer cookies. They are usually sold in metal tins with the wafers wrapped in packages of two inside the tin. You can also buy Amarettini, which are the same flavor but much smaller and not individually wrapped. Since you’re going to grind some of the wafers and break the others into chunks, it doesn’t matter which size you start with.
