Most people don’t realize making compound butter sounds fancy but is actually easy AF 🧈

If you love the idea of a fancy brunch but your only brunch reservation is with your couch., you’re not the only one 🛋️

You only need about 12 blackberries, a stick of your favorite butter (softened), and 3 Tablespoons of powdered sugar to make easy feel a little bit fancy 💁‍♀️

In the recipe post, you’ll also find links to all of my favorite homemade things to spread it on— breads! Rolls! Crepes! Biscuits! 🤤

I know the comments are coming. I KNOWWWWW THEY ARE COMING. So let me get all the way ahead of them.

🧐 “I always use measuring cups and I’ve never had a problem.”
🧐 “I never weigh my flour and my _________ always turn out perfect.”

These may be totally true statements. I believe you, friend. I really honestly do.

But I also know that there is a better, easier, more accurate, and correct (yep, I said it) way to measure ingredients for accurate and repeatable results.

Accuracy and repeatability may not matter to you!

Here’s why it matters for me:

MY JOB is to teach people how to bake. I write recipes and share them on my website and the idea is that those recipes are repeatable with the SAME EXACT RESULTS by my readers in their own kitchens.

If I tell you that my cookie dough calls for 2 cups of all purpose flour, I’m telling you that I tested and perfected them with 240 grams of all purpose flour and I expect you to make them with that same exact measurement.

There’s no question of whether or not I spooned and leveled with my measuring cup, whether I dug down to the bottom of my flour container or I skimmed from the top, if I perhaps poured directly from the bag into the measuring cup…

There is NO QUESTION. None. Zero. It’s 240 grams PERIOD. Not taking questions.

Whenever someone says the recipe that they made from my site “didn’t turn out” or their cookies didn’t spread, or their cake was too dense, my first question is “did you weigh your flour?”

More often than not, the answer is no. If the answer is yes, we move onto the temperature of the butter, which is another controversial opinion I shared a few months ago that got people RILED UP about butter (holy moly, that was a WILD RIDE).

Listen. At the end of the day, you are going to continue measuring the way that you do and always have, and that’s fine. But if you are a user of my recipes and want to achieve the same exact results that I do and that are expected from the recipe, you’re going to have to make this change.

I promise I’m not trying to make your life miserable. I’m trying to make you a better and consistent baker. And if that upsets you, I’m not your people (and that’s ok) 🙌 #baking ...

If you love chocolate chip cookies and are open to turning on your favorite recipe, welcome to my account 🍪

This review from Lexi last week should tell you everything you need to know about this cookie:

“No joke… these are the BEST. I have faithfully stuck to a different variation of the tollhouse recipe up until now, but I will only be using this recipe going forward. Followed all of the steps to a tee and these are genuinely the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had in my life!!”

So… Whatcha waiting for? 😏

I’ll be honest, I did not expect to like these cookies as much as I did 😮

And with a name like “chocolate salami,” I had my doubts 🤨

My husband and I were in Portugal two years ago, and I had a slice of this no bake cookie and instantly fell in love. I recreated my own version for last year’s #faf12daysofcookies and it wound up being one of my favorites in the whole lineup! 🥰

So with holiday baking juuuuust around the corner, I think it’s never too soon to start compiling that baking list, and even better if that baking list has some NO BAKE items on it.

And believe me— these are nothing like traditional no bakes. These will rock your socks right off with their texture, flavor, and most importantly, their ease 😎

The BEST cheesecake baking tip I’ve ever seen…

And with holiday baking season quickly approaching, I thought I’d remind you of it!

When I learned that ditching that pesky foil was the only way to 100% prevent water from getting into my cheesecake, my cheesecake game went baller level 😎

My mind was absolutely blown when I saw this tip for the first time AND I was so happy that I wasn’t wasting time, energy, or foil wrapping that darn springform pan anymore 🫠

Another month, another ROLL! And this month, the #FAFRollOfTheMonth is for the Nutella
lovers ❤️

These Nutella cinnamon rolls keep the classic cinnamon swirl you love but swap the butter for Nutella in the filling and load up on it again in the frosting.

Fluffy, chocolatey, and irresistibly gooey, they’re a must-bake for any Nutella fan 🤩

Save this + send this to someone who loves pumpkin but doesn’t want it in their coffee! 🎃

This pumpkin spice hot chocolate is a MUST for this fall. You can make it white or semi-sweet, and you can do it on the stovetop or in a slow cooker (you can find those details in the recipe post— see below for how to get the recipe).

It’s perfect for a party or a cozy weekend afternoon 🤗

Here’s what you’ll need:
☕️ 3 cups (720mL) milk (I prefer whole milk)
☕️ ¾ cup pumpkin purée
☕️ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
☕️ 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
☕️ ⅛ teaspoon salt
☕️ 4 ounces (113g) quality white chocolate, coarsely chopped

What to do:
1️⃣ In a large saucepan or a Dutch oven, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until it simmers. Be sure not to let the mixture boil over.
2️⃣ When mixture is simmering, add the chopped white chocolate and stir until all of the chocolate has melted.
3️⃣ Carefully ladle pumpkin spice hot chocolate into mugs, then top with desired toppings. I highly recommend pumpkin spice whipped cream or homemade whipped cream (both recipes linked in the post). Consider serving with cinnamon sticks for stirring! Store leftover hot chocolate in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 3 months.

Let me introduce you to your new favorite yeast bread 🍞

And to officially become friends, here’s a little about me!

Hi! My name is Lynn, and I’ve been teaching people on the internet all over the world how to bake from scratch since 2014.

I’m a self-taught home baker, who just wanted to be able to make my (then) future kids’ birthday cakes, and now I teach people how to repeat the recipes from my kitchen in theirs so they become confident in their baking skills.

So if you love to bake with exact science, regardless of your skill level, you’re in the right place 🫶

Want a quick pumpkin dessert that isn’t pumpkin dip (borrrrrring 📣) and doesn’t utilize cream cheese (can’t we just let pumpkin shine, huh?? 😩)?

This super easy pumpkin mousse was called “heaven in a cup” by one of my taste testers, and you’re going to love how easy, delicious, and “fancy” it can be 🎃

Roasted pumpkin (which brings 99.9% of the pumpkin flavor— the other 0.1% comes from spices) and a sweetened whipped cream base make this pumpkin pie-esque without the gluten nor all that work 😮‍💨

Want a pumpkin cake recipe that doesn’t suck?

Here are the 3 things you’ll get from my recipe:
1️⃣ a reliable recipe backed by years of reviews (since 2017!)
2️⃣ a plush, stick-to-your-fork crumb
3️⃣ a cake packed with pumpkin without all the weight

🎃 In fact, here’s a review from reader Hailey:
➡️ 3 words: MAKE. THIS. CAKE! It was seriously amazing. I made it for my husband to take to a Thanksgiving potluck at his job. It got rave reviews! He said one colleague had four pieces AND took some home. Was impressed with how light the crumb was! Some pumpkin cakes can be dense – this wasn’t at all. I’ll be making again.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one is for the home bakers who are following recipes and getting unwanted and disappointing results.

The importance of weighing ingredients is something I wish I had known sooner and it’s too good to not share (SO BE SURE TO SAVE FOR LATER 🔖)

I KNOWWWWW THE COMMENTS ARE COMING.

🧐 “I always use measuring cups and I’ve never had a problem.”
🧐 “I never weigh my flour and my _________ always turn out perfect.”

These may be totally true statements. I believe you, friend. I really honestly do.

But I also know that there is a better, easier, more accurate, and correct (yep, I said it) way to measure ingredients for accurate and repeatable results.

Accuracy and repeatability may not matter to you!

Here’s why it matters for me:

MY JOB is to teach people how to bake. I write recipes and share them on my website and the idea is that those recipes are repeatable with the SAME EXACT RESULTS by my readers in their own kitchens.
