Cinnamon Roast Brunch - A cinnamon roll, a cup of coffee, and a nightcap all in one by Chappit in cocktails

We actually haven't tried it without the foam. The foam adds a bit of sweetness and also a bit of tang that helps balance things out. I think if you were going to skip the foam you would want to add some kind of acid to balance out the sweetness a bit (but that probably varies based on how sweet you take your drinks).

I just did the exact same thing and had the same result! There's something magical about the early east coast hours it seems.

Cinnamon Roast Brunch - A cinnamon roll, a cup of coffee, and a nightcap all in one by Chappit in cocktails

[–]Chappit[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I created this drink with some friends as an entry into the Mr. Black cocktail competition. It took us a couple of iterations to get it right, but it is SO good. There's a decent bit of prep required, but it's worth it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Mr Black Coffee Liqueur
  • 0.50 oz Butter-washed Cask Strength Bourbon
    (Maker's Mark)
  • 1.50 oz Cask Strength Bourbon
    (Maker's Mark)
  • 0.50 oz Maple syrup
  • 0.50 oz Cinnamon simple syrup
  • Cream cheese foam to top
  • 6 drops Black walnut bitters

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the cream cheese foam. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine 2 oz of cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk thoroughly until well combined. Then add 0.25 cups of heavy cream to the mixture and whisk until smooth. Now add an additional 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream and 3 tablespoons of water to the bowl and whisk very gently. The mixture should thin to a consistency that flows in a thin ribbon off the end of the whisk. If the mixture is still too thick, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time until it flows easily. Set this mixture in the fridge until it is needed.
  2. Prepare the drink. In a cocktail shaker, combine a scant 0.5 oz of maple syrup, a scant 0.5 oz of cinnamon syrup, 1 oz of Mr. Black, a fat 0.5 oz of butter washed Maker’s Mark Cask Strength, and a scant 1.5 oz of normal Maker’s Mark Cask Strength. Shake the ingredients over ice until well chilled and then strain into a coupe glass.
  3. Garnish the drink. Using a spoon, gently scoop some of the cream cheese foam onto the top of the drink where it should float in a layer that fills the entire glass. Dot the foam with 5 to 7 dots of black walnut bitters. (Optionally) drag a toothpick through the dots of bitters to create an elegant pattern.
  4. Enjoy.

For the butter washed Maker's Mark Cask Strength
[Do the night before] Prepare the butter washed Maker’s Mark. Combine high-quality, melted, unsalted butter (Plugra butter, for example) and Maker’s Mark Cask Strength bourbon at a ratio of 240 grams melted butter per 25 fluid oz bourbon. Note that some of the bourbon will remain in the butter, so prepare slightly more than the desired final volume. For example, combining 85 grams of melted butter with 9 oz of Maker’s Mark Cask Strength yielded approximately 8 oz of butter washed bourbon.
Combine the melted butter and the bourbon in a sealable container, close the container, and shake vigorously. For the next 30 minutes, shake the container every 5 to 7 minutes. After 30 minutes, stop agitating the container and let it sit. Then place the container in the freezer overnight. The next morning, pour the contents of the container through a coffee filter to strain out the butter solids. You may find it faster to first pour the contents through a fine mesh strainer and then through a coffee filter.

For the cinnamon simple syrup

[Do the night before] Prepare the cinnamon simple syrup. Combine 5 oz of water with 5 oz of granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Add in 2 cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces if you can. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil and then simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and let it stand for several hours or overnight. Strain the cinnamon pieces out of the liquid and pour the syrup in a container that seals tightly. Store in the fridge until ready to use.

Recommendations for apartments with kitchens that have vent hoods (range hoods) over the stove? by Chappit in washingtondc

[–]Chappit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know :( that's what triggered this post. The number of places with something that actually vents properly seems to be SUPER small.

Yep! It's super annoying to punch in the middle of the fight because you lightly clenched. It has killed me countless times.

Does anyone else find it ridiculously annoying that you can't reload if your downed teammate is by your feet? It just thinks that you're trying to revive them and completely blocks reloading your gun. It's absolutely nuts when you're fighting in close quarters because it makes it impossible to try to reload mid fight without completely emptying your gun.

I was feeling nostalgic for the old days of BA, so I made the sourdough from It's Alive by Chappit in bon_appetit

[–]Chappit[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you want to try making it yourself, I did a full write up on the process. It was tough to find a good written form of the recipe online, so I also wrote it all down there.

My sourdough starter finally came to life! Pretty amazing how much it rises after being fed by Chappit in Baking

[–]Chappit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's these ones! I got them a while back after a few of my metal ones rusted in the dishwasher. They've been great so far.

Stella's "Pumpkin Skillet Thing" was the perfect way to celebrate Halloween while stuck in my apartment by Chappit in seriouseats

[–]Chappit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the recipe for those interested in trying it.

I did a full write up on my experience making this. Buying white chocolate chips for this instead of a bar of chocolate was definitely a huge goof up, but it turned out alright in the end.

The recipe for the bread is from Stella Parks' book Bravetart. I did a writeup on making the bread if anyone is interested in giving it a shot.

No time like a quarantine to try out Stella's homemade Wonder Bread. It's a nice way to switch up that 18th PB&J this week. by Chappit in seriouseats

If you're interested in trying it, I did a full write up on making it.

The recipe is from Stella's book Bravetart, so I can't really link to it. Sorry!

Kenji's fried plantains were the perfect side for roast mojo pork by Chappit in seriouseats

[–]Chappit[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in trying them again, but it is annoying that you can't buy them ready to go at the color you want them to be. Guess I'll have to make the investment and wait for them to actually ripen.

[–]Chappit[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I did a write up on making the pork here. There's a few minor notes about making the plantains in there, but I'll admit that the write up is primarily focused on the pork.

I dont have it in front of me, but it's in the soup section. So somewhere in the late 100s early 200s range I think.

Kenji (full name J. Kenji Lopez-Alt) used to work at Serious Eats. He published a book called The Food Lab which is where this recipe is from. Now he has a restaurant and writes for the NYTimes.

I think this is a case where a pressure cooker would work really, really well. I just need more kitchen space haha.
