Instructions
  1. Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Break the chocolate into small pieces directly into the bowl. Microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring between each bout of heat, until the chocolate is about 75% melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the chocolate completely. (Alternatively, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1 inch of barely simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.) Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form (the peaks should be just starting to hold, and will melt back into themselves after a second). Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand straight up when the beaters are lifted from the mixture). Using a large rubber spatula, fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture until uniform. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds medium peaks (when you lift the beaters or whisk out of the bowl, the peaks will slightly droop down, but they won't lose their shape entirely). Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Be sure it is fully incorporated but don't mix any more than necessary. Divide the mousse between 6 individual glasses, cover, and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
Recipe Notes

Can be served with whipped topping.

Instructions
  1. Make the tart dough: Combine flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Work in butter thoroughly. Stir in egg yolk mixture and knead briefly until dough is smooth, then form into a flat disk.
  2. Roll dough to a large circle and lay it in a 10-inch/23-centimeter fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Press in well (patch any cracks with extra dough). Refrigerate or freeze for 1 hour.
  3. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Blind bake tart shell until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. (You do not need to cover the shell or use pie weights.)
  4. Meanwhile, make the filling: Put almonds, flour and sugar in work bowl of food processor and grind to a rough powder. Add butter and pulse until well incorporated. Add eggs and almond extract and process until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, use ground almonds and make batter with a mixer instead.)
  5. Pour almond batter into prebaked shell and smooth with a spatula. Press cherries into batter in a single layer. Sprinkle with a handful of sliced almonds. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until golden, 30 to 40 minutes. (An inserted skewer should come out clean.) Cool on a rack and remove outer rim of tart pan. Place tart on a serving dish and dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Recipe Notes

I got this recipe from Stephanie at work.  She brought them for a food day.  They were amazing!  So I got the recipe.  I personally think it's a bit on the sweet side with the cornbread, so I think I'll try using spicy enchilada sauce to start with and see how it works out.  Thanks, Stephanie!

Instructions
  1. Sift the flour, measure and resift 3 times with the baking powder and salt. Combine the spices and mix thoroughly with boiling water. Cream the butter until soft and smooth, blend in 3/4 C of the sugar, and add the beaten egg yolks. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in spice mixture; then add flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour and beating until smooth after each addition. Beat egg whites, add remaining 1/4 C sugar, and continue beating until very stiff; fold into batter. Turn into two 8-inch cake pans which have been lined with thin plain paper in bottom. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for about 25 minutes, until springy when pressed lightly with the finger tips. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans and then turn out and cool thoroughly on cake racks. Put together with orange frosting.
Recipe Notes

I changed the recipe slightly from what was in the cooking encyclopedia.  First, I changed to shortening rather than butter: though both were listed as options, I prefer shortening.  I also added an egg yolk to try to counteract the dryness.  That didn't work as well as I'd hoped, so I'm going to add 2 egg yolks next time, and look into changing from milk to buttermilk.

Cook until the batter has little bubbles all over the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Gently flip, and cook another couple of minutes, until the bottom is browned.
  6. If you want to prepare the night before, add a little extra baking powder, so it still has some fluffiness.

Instructions
  1. Cook the potatoes in their skins the day before or early in the day. Cool slightly and peel. Rice the potatoes (or mash if you don't have a ricer). Let them become totally cold, cover, and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  2. Make croutons by cutting bread into cubes.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and fry, stirring frequently, until nicely browned on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  4. Mix into potatoes, 1 cup cornstarch, eggs and salt to make a dough that holds together when formed into dumplings. If the mixture is too moist, add a bit more cornstarch.
  5. Form 12 - 14 dumplings, approximately 2 inches in diameter, adding a few croutons to the middle of each dumpling.
  6. Drop gently into pot of boiling, salted water. Simmer gently, uncovered, about 15 - 20 minutes.
  7. Remove with slotted spoon and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes

https://www.quick-german-recipes.com/german-potato-dumplings.html

  • To keep the dumplings from sticking to your hands when you are forming them, you can either wet your hands with water, or dust your hands with flour. Either way works.
  • Test cook one dumpling to make sure it stays together, before you cook the rest. If it doesn't, you'll need to add a bit extra flour or liquid, depending on how sticky or dry your 'dough'
  • I don't really get the croutons in the center, but aside from that they were pretty good!  But I think next time we'll try something different in the center.
