  Along the way, this Basque style Cheesecake with its, delightfully, oozing center showed up. I am glad it did! With my oven, it has taken three tries to get it to this stage. Time and effort well spent! The recipe from King Arthur flour is simplicity in itself.  5 ingredients! All you do is mix the ingredients into a smooth mixture, pan it and into the oven. How complicated is that?   The recipes specifies a ring form pan.  And you probably do need one. But, even if you need to go buy one, it is worth it!  I am sure you can find the recipe on the King Arthur Flour website. If not, drop me a note and I will send it to you. #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood  As always, your comments or questions are welcome.

  Recently a recipe for Basque Style Cheesecake - Tarta de Queso came through my email.   The recipe was from the King Arthur flour company.   I have read a little bit about the dessert, but never seen it.   So, this meant it had to show up on our New Year’s Eve menu.   I am glad it did!   It is rich, custardy, and real delight to eat. This was obviously my first time to bake this dessert.   Our oven runs a little hot.   When I next make this dessert, I will lower the temperature by 20 degrees.   Even though the top looks really dark and perhaps burned.   It does not taste bad.   Still, I think it will at least look better if it is not quite so dark on top.   Some subsequent reading has given me some suggestions on ways to improve the cake.   I am already looking forward to making it.   It is super easy.   This recipe is five ingredients!   #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood   As always your questions or comments are welcome Until next time, Bon Appetit Y'all L
