I happened to Bob’s Red Mill on hand, so I used that and it worked really well. It’s also a little healthier because it’s made with whole grains.

Fresh lemons are highly encouraged!

The real lemon juice in this recipe makes a significant difference. It gives the danishes a fresher, lighter taste that you don’t get with lemon juice from a bottle (though it is very convenient in a pinch).

I highly recommend buying about 4 or 5 lemons for this recipe. There is a good amount of lemons (juice & zest) required for all of the components: crust, filling, crumble, and glaze.

Recommended coffee pairing: coffee beans from Jamaica, Kenya, Ethiopia, or Uganda.

If one of my recipes doesn’t have espresso or coffee in them, then I will always include a good coffee pairing.

For any berries such as blueberries, raspberries or strawberries, light roast coffee beans, in particular, are excellent companions.

If you’re looking for specific coffee beans to go along with these pastries, I’d recommend coffee from Jamaica, Kenya, Ethiopia, or Uganda.

lemon blueberry cream cheese danish

Crust
 1 ½ cups pancake baking mix
 1 ½ tbsp sugar
 3 tbsp butter (softened)
 ½ cup milk
 1 tbsp lemon zest
Filling
 4 oz cream cheese
 2 tbsp sugar
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
 ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
Crumble
 1 tbsp flour
 1 tbsp quick oats
 1 tbsp cold butter
 ½ tsp lemon zest
Glaze
 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
 1 ½ tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Mix together the baking mix, sugar, and butter until it is crumbly. Stir in the milk and lemon zest and mix with a fork until a soft dough comes together. It will be very sticky.

3

Drop 6 spoonfuls of dough onto each prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to press the dough out creating a well in the center of each one.

4

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the vanilla extract. Spoon equal amounts of the filling into the center of each pastry rectangle. Spread it onto the dough within the inside border.

5

In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with the lemon juice, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Add the sugared blueberries on top of the cream cheese on the pastries.

6

Use a fork or pastry blender to mix together the crumble topping. Sprinkle it evenly on top of each danish. Bake for 10 minutes.

7

Remove and let cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving gently to a wire rack.

8

Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the tops of each cooled danish.

Are you grinding your coffee beans to the right si Are you grinding your coffee beans to the right size? 

Each brew method requires a specific grind size to properly extract the coffee’s best flavors. Therefore, you need to grind your beans according to your favorite coffee brew method i.e. pour over, espresso, etc. 

In general, pour over requires a medium-coarse grind. Espresso requires a very fine grind. AeroPress calls for varying grind sizes depending on the AeroPress brew method you choose. 

For a moka pot, you should use a medium-fine grind. The coffee grinds should look something akin to sand grains. 

If making cold brew coffee, a slightly larger grind is required compared to those listed above. The image above displays what coarse grinds should look like (the ones on the scale). 

How are you grinding your beans today & for which brew method?

For the past few weeks, I’ve been trying my hand For the past few weeks, I’ve been trying my hand at latte art & have had my share of fails so far.

To help other newbies, I’ve gathered insight from pro latte artists Sean Yew, specialty coffee barista and founder of The Hearty Brew and Yuri Brown, certified barista and founder of Coffee Geek Lab.

They’ve shared some of the most common latte art mistakes beginners make as well as solutions on how to fix each — here’s a few of their best tips:  

1.) 𝚈𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚔.
Many people make the mistake of overheating the milk in their attempts to make latte art. Because milk is a protein, you run the risk of the proteins breaking apart when the milk reaches a temp. above 160°F (70°C). If you try to pour latte art with extra hot milk, your pattern will break and clump up. Go for a lower temperature when you are steaming milk for latte art. In a cafe setting, baristas aim for 140°F to 150°F (60°C to 65°C).

2.) 𝚈𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚍 𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚔 𝚜𝚒𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐.
You also want to avoid letting your perfectly steamed milk sit out for too long. If you leave your frothy milk unattended for even just a few minutes, it will spilt. To fix this, trick is simple. After you’ve finished steaming your milk (the right way) and you’ve achieved that nice, glossy texture, pour it immediately! 

3.) 𝚈𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚞𝚙 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚍𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚙𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚔. 
Some beginners might be tempted to pour latte art with their cup resting on the table. But this is a big mistake that will likely lead to bad latte art. When pouring latte art, you must tilt your cup to a 45-degree angle. The tilting creates a deeper pool of liquid espresso in the center of your cup (compared to a level cup sitting on the counter). This is important for proper pouring technique. 

All 11 mistakes are up on the blog — writing this article has helped me greatly in my latte art endeavors, hope it helps you too!
A Chemex kind of morning… Today I’m brewing u A Chemex kind of morning…

Today I’m brewing up pour over coffee with The WestBean Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Konga. 

This coffee has tied for 3rd place in a cupping of desert-island coffees for Coffee Review’s 2020 tasting report. It’s a single origin hailing from Ethiopia. I won’t go in-depth about the tasting notes because I feel that this description doesn’t do this coffee justice. While yes, this roast has some unique notes, it’s more about the finish that grabbed my attention. 

Lately, I’ve noticed some coffees give a peculiar aftertaste that sort of brings my overall rating of the coffee down. But not this one — this roast has a lovely finish that just makes me want to go back for seconds (and sometimes thirds on those long days). 

Brewing recipe below👇

❮Recipe❯⁣
40 grams of coffee to 600 grams of water (1:15 ratio)⁣⁣⁣⁣
- first pour: slowly pour 80 grams of water in a spiral motion. Wait for a 30s - 45s bloom⁣⁣⁣⁣.
- at the 45s mark, gently pour more hot water in small circles over your bed up to 200g.⁣
- continue to pour in up to 200g of water at a time (always in gentle circles) up to your target weight of 600g.
- finish your last pour around the edge of the filter to wash down any lingering grounds.⁣⁣⁣⁣
- enjoy!
