Bramble brûlée from Cooking: Simply and Well, for One or Many

This is a pudding mum would make for us through the Autumn on our return from gathering brambles picked from the hedgerows in and around the village. The pudding was a prize earned for the scratches and general dishevelment resulting from battle with the bushes. If brambles, as wild blackberries were always known in Scotland, were plentiful, and survived scoffing by us hungry pickers, jars of bramble jelly were made and stored with all the other preserves, each label painted by Dad and watched over with careful eyes against an always ravenous brood.

Amaranth Marigold Buñuelos

Buñuelos are a festive dessert that comes together so quickly! Amaranth and marigold combine to make the dough golden, tart, and floral. If you can’t find marigolds, use a flower of your choice. It is so fun to watch them puff and bubble in the oil. You can serve them “dry,” tossed in sugar, or “wet,” drenched in syrup. I like them best dry, tossed in more marigold sugar. I live for biting into them fast and hard to shatter them into a million pieces. Fry and stack them high for a showstopper presentation. Beloved by all ages, they turn any day into a party! The dough keeps for 2 days, wrapped tightly, in your fridge. Buñuelos are best eaten on the same day as they’re made. They are naturally vegan.

Millet Drop Donuts with Jasmine Sugar and Fermented Honey from Bread & Roses

Millet is another small grain that packs a ton of taste and nutrition. Mixing it with all-purpose flour creates a structured dough that is also incredibly tender. Millet is subtly sweet and a little funky tasting. I love it with jasmine sugar and fermented honey.
