There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Buckwheat Cookies - Untested


Time: 40 minutes

1 cup buckwheat flour 
1 cup all-purpose flour 
2/3 cup sugar 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes 
2 large egg yolks, beaten.
  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. 
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, and stir with a whisk to mix; in a mixing bowl, beat butter until fluffy, and add eggs; beat in the dry ingredients in 2 batches, scraping down sides of bowl between additions. 
  3. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip. Pipe dough in spirals, forming cookies 1 1/4 inches across, onto ungreased baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart. (Dough is stiff, and can be hard to pipe.) Alternatively, form tablespoons of dough into balls, and place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets; use a fork to press dough into rounds 3/8 inch thick. 
  4. Bake biscuits 15 to 20 minutes, until golden around edges. 
  5. Cool on a wire rack.
Yield: About 6 dozen cookies.
