Claire Saffitz Makes Rough Puff Pastry
Dessert Person with Claire Saffitz - S4 - E8
Follow along as Claire makes a delicious puff pastry recipe from scratch. This recipe, a hybrid of pie dough and traditional puff pastry, relies on a series of rapid folds to flatten slices of butter into thin sheets within the dough, which then release steam during baking and produce a flaky, layered effect. The key to the flakiest pastry is to keep it very cold, so feel free to return the dough to the refrigerator as frequently as needed while you work. Stick around for a bonus recipe as Claire walks us through how to make Palmier cookies.

4x1 - Claire Saffitz Makes Rhubarb Cake
June 17, 2021
Let me tell you a story about rhubarb. It’s a vegetable -- a stalk more specifically -- that grows every spring and has a piercing tart flavor and pretty ruby red hue. Some people don’t like the flavor, but those people don’t get what a special flavor and texture it has! In this rhubarb cake, Claire uses it three ways -- placed in decorative rows on top, cooked down into mush and incorporated into the batter, and chopped and folded into the cake. It’s a celebration of rhubarb, a harbinger of warm weather and an inspiration to dessert people everywhere.

4x5 - How To Make The Perfect BIRTHDAY CAKE
July 22, 2021
Is there anything better than birthday cake? I don’t know about you, but to me, bday cake always means yellow cake and chocolate frosting. This vanilla-scented cake bakes up extremely light and tender, but still has the unmistakable richness and color of a yolky batter, while the super-easy frosting gets balance and tang from cream cheese and unsweetened chocolate. Claire gives lots of pointers for layer cake construction, like what to do if you’re trying to frost it in a 90-degree kitchen (hint: it involves an AC window unit).
4x6 - How To Make Tiramisu
July 29, 2021

These soft-on-the-inside and crispy-and-charred-on-the-outside flatbreads have a secret ingredient: cooked potato.

But if you take away nothing else, let it be the delicious eggplant dip that accompanies these flatbreads, which is easy and simple and can be your go-to late summer side dish.
