This churro recipe starts out with homemade choux, a cooked pastry that’s also used to make cream puffs, eclairs and fried churros. The choux dough puffs up beautifully when baked, resulting in a crisp shell and a tender, eggy interior that’s similar to but lighter than what you get when frying.

I love to indulge in a hot, crisp churro any time I’m at a theme park. The deep-fried pastries, with their cinnamon-sugar coating, are actually very simple to make — but they can get pretty messy when you’re trying to do them in your home kitchen. Instead of deep frying at home, you can mak

Yogurt and fruit puree keep them perfectly moist, and their slight sweetness is naturally derived, from the fruit in the batter and fresh blueberries mixed in before baking.

Sometimes, muffins are so sweet that they’re really more like cupcakes without frosting. While that can make for a highly pleasant indulgence on occasion, if you’re looking for a healthier start in the morning, these sugar-free muffins are just the ticket.Yogurt and fruit puree keep them p

Lily is perhaps the most overused common name in all of horticulture. There are calla lilies, canna lilies, daylilies, and of course lilies. The only plants I recognize as lilies are plants in the Lilium genus. And what a genus this is.
