matt's mini upside-down cobblers

This is one of those few recipes that disproves the principle of baking which says that more effort leads to a better product. In a lot of cases that's true (looking at you, macarons and eclairs), but not so here. These mini cobblers only take a couple of minutes to whip up, and the result—well, let's just say that Adam and I polished off all twelve of these by ourselves in as many hours... which also included a full night's sleep.

Happy (almost) Easter!

I got the idea for making these festive little treats from a vague childhood memory of making something similar. I can't remember what they actually tasted like; I just remember sitting around the table with the sibs putting eggs in the little nests. So I set out to create something that was as cute and delicious in reality as it was in my mind.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm not Irish, but I love the color green and getting rid of snakes, so I'm game to celebrate.
