The Busy Baker - Deliciously simple recipes

Nostalgic recipes to warm your kitchen

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi friends,

One of the many joys of The Busy Baker blog over the past 10 years has been sharing recipes that I've grown up with - recipes that have been made in my family through the generations. Today I'm sharing recipes that have been the cozy centre of my kitchen for years and that I know will fill your kitchen with the same nostalgic feeling!

We're starting with a recipe that has graced the table of our family holiday meals for as long as I can remember... these Easy Homemade Classic Buttermilk Buns! They use a simple dough that bakes to a tender roll that's perfectly buttery and soft. This recipe belonged to my grandma, the one who inspired this blog and who inspires me still, almost daily, in the kitchen.

"The only recipe that I follow whenever I make buns. Simple, easy & always makes moist & delicious rolls. I never have to waste time looking for any other recipe. Thanks a lot for sharing this. 10/10 recommended ❤️" - Nivida

Made with just 5 ingredients, these Whipped Shortbread are perfect for beginning bakers! This drop cookie is a lovely addition to any cookie tray and pairs perfectly with cup of tea or hot chocolate. ☕️

​

Twix lovers, these Chocolate Caramel Shortbread Bars are for you! The buttery shortbread crust holds layers of soft caramel and creamy, sweet milk chocolate.

"Best caramel I ever made!" - Jen

Crispy on the outside while chewy on the inside, these Best Ever Ginger Molasses Cookies are one of our most popular recipes ever (thanks, Grandma!). Your taste buds will be happy and your house will smell fantastic!

"Such a great recipe! I’ve been making them for 3 Christmas in a row!" - Yas

​

This Easy One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken makes a delicious weeknight meal but is also a perfect dish to serve dinner guests, too! This recipe uses ingredients you most likely already have in your pantry and fridge. Serve this dish alongside rice or mashed potatoes (click HERE for our guide to the best mashed potatoes).

"This recipe is so good! It’s just delicious and was super easy to make. Plus my kids and hubby loved it. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Definitely will become a regular meal for us. 🙂" - Katie

​

What dishes are nostalgic for you? I'd love to hear from you!

Cheers,

Chrissie Baker
