Brussels sprouts with tomato sauce and maple syrup

Brussels sprouts are a winter vegetable with the pretty appearance of miniature cabbage.

There are several varieties and they are available on the market during the coldest months of the year, between November and March.

Rich in vitamins A, C, K and the B group, as well as iron, phosphorus, calcium and antioxidants, they contain few calories and can make a perfect side dish or if accompanied by rice pilaf, a tasty and balanced main course.

They have a strong and bitter flavour and go very well with sweet and sour condiments, especially maple syrup which gives them a sweet, caramel-like taste.

Mini Pecan Pie for the festivities

Pecan Pie is a traditional Canadian and American pecan and maple syrup pie.

It is made for Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

We’ve made it in mini portions, but there’s no reason why you can’t make a single 21 cm Pecan Pie. Despite the large amount of maple syrup and dark sugar it contains, the filling has an unusually fresh taste that everyone will love.

Serve cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or lightly whipped cream or even unsweetened.

Gingerbread cookies with maple syrup

Gingerbread cookies with maple syrup

Gingerbread cookies with maple syrup

Maple syrup gingerbread cookies are the most traditional festive biscuits. Very sweet and spicy-scented, they are a real December tradition when baked together as a family.

The dough is very easy to prepare, but it needs to be refrigerated for at least a couple of hours to reach the right consistency to cut out the biscuits. This is enough time for a hot chocolate and a board game.

The gingerbread cookies with maple syrup should be placed well apart on the baking tray because they will swell during baking. If you are making them to hang on the Christmas tree, remember to poke a hole in the top with a straw.

The decoration should be done when the biscuits are well chilled and you can indulge yourself! Of course, they are also delicious in this way… How many will be left on the tree at the end of the festive season?

  • 380 g of flour 00
  • 160 g of sugar
  • 140 g of Maple Farm Maple Syrup, Grade A, Dark variety
  • 1 egg

  • egg white as required
    limited-edition

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Soften the cubed butter at room temperature, then whip it together with the sugar. 
    • Then add the other ingredients: flour, spices, maple syrup, egg, salt and baking soda. The mixture is fragrant and very soft and almost creamy.
    • Wrap the dough in cling film or a food bag and leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
    • Heat the oven to 180° and, in the meantime, roll out the dough to a height of half a centimeter. Cut out the biscuits using the biscuit cutter. Then place them on the baking tray, well spaced out, as they will expand during baking. 
    • If you want to hang them, make a hole at the top, bearing in mind that the hole will tend to tighten during baking.
    • Bake for 12-13 minutes. Leave to cool on the baking tray for ten minutes, before moving gently.
    • When the maple syrup gingerbread cookies are cold, prepare the icing with icing sugar and a few teaspoons of egg white and then decorate with the eyes and mouth. You can also use food coloring for a more imaginative effect.
