Humble Biscuit Bread Pudding Inspires Stylish Summer Dessert
January 15, 2012
Nashville, TN – Over the past few years, bread puddings have emerged as the decadent darling of trendy chefs and cooks.
“These rich new versions of the classic bread pudding are a far cry from its humble beginnings,” said Martha White® baking expert Linda Carman. “Bread pudding was the creation of frugal cooks looking for ways to use stale bread and make the most of their eggs, milk and sugar. Bread puddings have been made for hundreds of years all over the world, so a Southern version made with biscuits was bound to happen.”

November 27, 2011
Nashville, TN – A homemade cake makes every holiday memorable. Although we love fancy cakes, the ones that become classics are often unpretentious and uncomplicated for their subtle rich flavor. Pound cakes fit that description perfectly. Originally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour, pound cakes have evolved into an abundance of delectable variations.
“I think a pound cake is appropriate for almost any occasion,” said the Martha White® baking expert, Linda Carman. “Serve toasted for breakfast, plain for dessert or paired with fruit, ice cream or sauces. Easy to wrap, they make wonderful holiday gifts or dessert to carry to a holiday get-together.”

Nashville, TN – Trick or treating is not the only way to enjoy Halloween. Getting friends together to make and decorate cookies at home can turn into a party for kids and adults alike.
“Depending on the age and experience of the children, you may prefer to have cookies baked in advance, then kids can spend their time decorating,” says the Martha White® Baking Expert Linda Carman. “Cut cookies into appropriate shapes or make them all round and let the kids apply their own decorations.”

Cobblers: From Classic to Convenient
September 23, 2011
Nashville, TN – Once considered too common to serve to guests, the cobbler has been rediscovered for its simplicity. It’s easy to throw together, especially when you are craving a summery dose of after-dinner comfort.
Although Southern cooks make wonderful cobblers, no country or region can claim cobbler as its own. Grunt, slump, buckle, roly-poly, flummery, pandowdy and cobbler are all old-fashioned regional desserts of cooked fruit with a biscuit, dough or bread topping of some type.
