This year’s #KingCakes !

Recipe this time is from Explore Louisiana & Josh Besh

But because I can’t help myself, I did a few changes - both cakes, i converted to tangzhong (longer shelf life, better texture). The first one I also went brown butter & alllllll cinnamon. The second, i think superior, i only used the lemon & nutmeg in the dough, and for the filling i streamed in sweetened condensed milk (got the can open for icing anyways, right?) and used that to adhere the cinnamon. This is the superior way!! Very distinct layers resulted.

A hungry traveler stops at a monastery and is taken to the kitchen where a brother is frying chips. "Are you the friar?" he asks.

The brother replies, "No, I'm the chip monk."

‪Happy #FatTuesday / #MardiGras!

"Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth, ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
Roll on, brother, in the wheel inside the wheel"
