Kitchen Witch Recipe: Honey and Lavender Panna Cotta

I love lavender. Finding new and exciting ways to incorporate it into my cooking makes me so happy. So when I found this recipe a few years ago, it felt like a real game changer.

From a witchy perspective, lavender is great for promoting peace and calm, while honey promotes warmth and happiness. Both enhance love in their own way. So this is a great dessert to make when you want to work magic that fixes the vibes.

Ingredients

1 cup  heavy cream 

1 cup whole milk 

1/4 cup honey 

2 tsp dried lavender buds 

1 packet gelatin

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the dried lavender buds. Let the mixture steep for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds.

Return the strained mixture to the saucepan and whisk in the honey until fully dissolved.

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the cream mixture until fully dissolved.

Divide the mixture evenly among ramekins or molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.

To serve, unmold the panna cotta onto plates and drizzle with additional honey if desired.

Hot Cross Buns for Spring

Spring is here! Finally!

As much as I love the colder weather, the springtime is lovely for picnics and enjoying nature. Hot cross buns are as traditional as treats can come, and they always remind me of spring.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 TSP cinnamon

1/8 TSP nutmeg

2 TBSP white sugar

2 TSP baking powder

1/2 TSP salt

3/4 cup milk

4 TBSP (melted) butter

1 egg

1/2 raisins or currants

For Crosses -

2 TBSP all purpose flour

2 TBSP warm water

For Glaze -

2 TBSP apricot jelly or jam

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 F and grease a 9X13 inch baking sheet

In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, spices, sugar, baking powder and salt

In a separate bowl, combine your milk, butter, and egg

Stir your wet ingredients into your dry ones and mix until they're just blended. If you're using them, fold in your raisins/currants

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8 to 10 times until it becomes smooth

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, shaping each into a bun and placing onto your baking sheet

To make the iconic crosses, mix together flour and water until it turns into a thick paste. Put this mix into a pastry bag and pipe crosses onto the tops of the buns

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through the center (test with a toothpick!)

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before glazing with your apricot jelly/jam. If you need to thin it out, warm it over a low heat stovetop just a bit in order to brush the buns evenly

Enjoy!

Honey Glazed Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

After making this recipe for my daughter's floral infused birthday party, I just knew I had to share it with everyone after the glowing reviews! These cookies consist of a cinnamon sugar cookie base topped with a honey-infused glaze and optional edible flowers. The edible flowers add a touch of magick to this simple recipe, but even without them, these cookies are light and delicious and are perfect for even the most elegant of faerie tea parties! Cinnamon is known as a spice bringing abundance and good fortune, so be sure to pour in your intentions while you enjoy making these!

Ingredients:

For Cookie Dough

3 cups all purpose flour

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 tablespoon cinnamon

For Icing

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

For Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease cookie sheet or lay down baking paper on metal cookie sheets.

Pour butter and sugar into bowl and cream together with mixer until smooth.

Add in egg and extract and mix together.

In a separate bowl, add together dry ingredients.

Slowly incorporate dry and wet ingredients together. You may need to work the dough by hand. Do not chill unless you need to come back to making the cookies another time.

Roll out dough until it is about 1/4 of an inch thick and cut with your choice of cookie cutter.

Lay cut cookies on baking sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cookies settle for a few minutes until you can transfer them onto a cooling rack while keeping them intact.

For Icing

Combine honey, milk, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Stir with fork until evenly mixed. For thicker icing, add additional powdered sugar. For thinner icing, add additional milk. Adjust ingredients until desired thickness.

Place icing into piping bag or other plastic bag with tip cut off, then decorate the cookies. Add any toppings while icing is wet.

Let iced cookies set and firm for about an hour or set in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!

Hello loves, here's a simple apple cake recipe for all your autumnal needs.

Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, adding your vanilla extract and then the apples

Mabon apple pie recipe

In celebration of Mabon next week, I am sharing my favorite apple pie recipe. I chose to share this a week in advance so that those who want to make it can prepare the ingredients. All ingredients can be plant-based, for those who are vegan the egg is not necessary (you may need to add a little more butter)

Witchy tips during baking:

Mix clockwise and say your intentions for the cake out loud, this could be "I welcome abundance into my life with open arms.", "I embrace the blessings of the harvest and celebrate the abundance it brings." or if you plan to share the pie with friends and family: "May this pie nurture the bonds of love and friendship among us."

When you sprinkle the spices into the cake, do this clockwise and say each correspondence out loud as you do this: Cinnamon: for love, and warmth Cardamom: for attraction and harmony Nutmeg: for prosperity and luck

Carve sigils of choice in the bottom of the pie before adding the filling.

Ingredients For the dough: 500 grams plain flour 1 sachet (15 grams) baking powder 150 grams of white caster sugar 50 grams of light brown caster sugar 150 grams of melted butter 1 egg Pinch of cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg

For the filling: 1-1.5 kilos of apples 100 grams soaked and patted dry raisins (optional!) 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or more, until all apples are nicely coated)

To brush the dough before it goes into the oven: To give the cake a beautiful golden color, I recommend brushing the cake with 1 beaten egg OR a dash of milk of your choice before putting it in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celcius (374 F)

Peel and cut the apples into wedges, sprinkle with the cinnamon and the raisins that you have pre-soaked and patted dry.

Mix all the ingredients for the dough together until it becomes a crumbly dough (it should be able to stick together and not be too dry, if this is the case I recommend adding more butter to the dough!)

Grease a baking tin with butter or oil and line the bottom with baking paper.

Divide the prepared dough into 3 parts, and put 1 part over the bottom. Press this with your hands or a spoon with a little flour on it so that the dough does not stick.

Then take 1 more part of the divided dough and press it onto the edges around the baking tin. You can roll this out with a rolling pin and cut it to size, I think this takes too long so I just press the dough along the edges (about 0.5 cm thick)

Put the apple filling in the pie and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle the last remaining part of the made dough over the pie to get an apple crumble pie, if you want a lattice top: make a ball of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut strips from the dough that are 1.5 cm wide and long enough to cover the pie. If you are making a lattice top, brush it with egg OR milk of your choice to give it a nice golden glow. If you have a crumb top this is not necessary.

Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, but keep an eye on the pie because every oven is different! You know the pie is ready when you insert a toothpick or skewer into it and the apples can be pierced and the dough does not remain wet around the stick.

Let the pie cool down for fifteen minutes before removing it from the baking tin.
