Shortbread. I don’t get the name. It’s not bread, it’s a cookie! But nomenclatures aside, they’re freakin’ delicious.
I’ve always enjoyed when Christmas rolled around and store shelves would be filled with boxes of little shortbread fingers. Probably the best thing to come out of Scotland, right after bagpipes.
These are probably my wife’s favourite cookies. And they’re really, really easy to make.
My daughter has also discovered, through various attempts, that it’s also really easy to create things that do not resemble cookies through carefully not measuring things or quadrupling the amounts of one ingredient. It’s really just best not to ask about those.
But for the record, quadrupling the amount of cocoa powder results in a substance that almost resembles fudge. Almost. It was … uh … interesting.

As soon as I tried The Greatest Dinner Rolls Ever, I knew this would happen.
Those buns were exactly the kind of soft, fluffy bread that would make an amazing cinnamon roll.
And oh yes, they did!
The best part? They’re really, really easy to make. They just take time … like any double-rising bread product.

It’s no secret that I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE cheesecake.
Love it.
Have ever since I was old enough to remember that cheesecake is life. And I thought I was in a little slice of heaven when I discovered the wonderful things that could come out of an Instant Pot, like my Instant Pot Egg Nog Cheesecake.
Well, I may have created a tiny monster that’s even better.

So I posted a few weeks ago that I really wanted to try Sous Vide Everything’s Pots de Creme recipe once I was home from Christmas vacation. Well, I finally did, and I have ZERO regrets.
I also learned a very important lesson that I already knew, but in my excitement to make this happen completely didn’t think of until the bad thing happened.

Here’s a little number I shared with the folks at Forty Creek Whiskey a number of years ago. It’s been very popular for them, used to be posted on their website when they still had recipes on it, and often pops up in my Facebook feed to this day.
I DID leave out one step that I do in the instructions I gave them. Personally, I think it’s the most important one, in retrospect. It was a simple thing I didn’t do originally, but decided to try a batch or two in … and it DOES make a difference in the finished product. I’ll add that to the instructions so you don’t miss it.

This is probably my most requested recipe – especially towards the holidays. Y’know, when egg nog is actually available in stores. So, at long last, here’s the Instant Pot version that I finally had a chance to make!
Sorry I didn’t think to take pictures of the steps along the way or anything. I wasn’t making it with a tutorial (or website posting) in mind at the time.
