Chef Gerrie's Notes
* Turbinado cane sugar, this sugar is known as “sugar in the raw.” Turbinado sugar is from pure cane sugar extract. The term turbinado comes from the technique used in the making of this sugar. The sugar is spun in a cylinder or turbine. Turbinado sugar is brown looking like brown sugar, but paler in color with a subtle molasses flavor. And when to use it to coat a butter dish it adds a sugar like crunch.
* Kerrygold butter is a magically delicious! Kerrygoldusa.com unsalted butter has a higher butterfat content and is a perfect butter for baking. You’ll notice its grass-fed cow’s milk richness when you bake for the first time and find your pie crusts are flakier and your cookies are more delectable thanks to this pure Irish butter.*
* Edible Gold is a wonderful and special way to make a statement on any dessert! A true “Wowwee” garnish. You can purchase edible gold flakes, stars, dust and sheets either on Amazon.com here. Edible gold might be an expensive treat, but it is safe to consume. You can also view tips on applying edible gold sheets on YouTube.com.
