So long from the time I did this wonderful recipe!
It was for my Irish brinner and I still have to post it because…
Because time ( lack of).
I wrote the Italian post so many weeks ago it was still cold outside!!
Now I am at home,waiting for hubby to come back from daily training while dinner is cooking and I am trying to finish what I started because the next week end my parents in law are coming for lunch and it means, of course, new recipes to post. 😀
I have decided what to do, everything suitable for an advance preparation:
eggplant, gruyere and smoked paprika plum- cake
Texas black eyed peas salad
Piadina bread with cheeses and cold cuts
Martha Stewart’s chocolate cheese cake
Pecan and maple syrup cake with fiordilatte ice cream
I know, I know two desserts are a lot but I cannot resist the temptation to try new recipes and when I have guests it’s the right moment because I cannot eat all alone LOL.
Now let’s speak about the dodgers’ recipe: it comes from Paul Hollywood, it turned out great, the whisky and white chocolate cream is so good all alone, on a spoon, in the middle of the night. 😀
Uhm maybe I should make short posts with menus I assemble when someone comes for lunch/ dinner….
Could it be helpful?
I’ll think about it.

- For the dodgers: beat sugar and butter until fluffy, add flour and semolina and mix with a spatula then by hand pushing the crumbles together until you have a loaf. Cover it with cling film and store in fridge for at least one hour.
- For the whisky cream: put milk cream and chocolate in a saucepan, put this saucepan into a bigger pot half filled with hot water ( the classic bain- marie). Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is shiny; add the whisky, stir briefly and set aside. When cold store in fridge at least two hours to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Spread the dough with a rollpin and cut big cookies. The cookies must be even, then in half of them cut a hole in the midde with a smaller cookie cutter. Put the baking tray with cookies into the fridge for about 20 minutes before baking.
- Bake at 300°F for about 10- 15 minutes or until light golden. Take them off the oven and let them cold well. When hot the cookies are very crumbly and soft, do not touch them.
- When the cookies are cold or even the day after ( so they set firm) pair two cookies, one plain and one with the hole using a generous amount of whisky cream. You can store them in a tin box for some days.
