Baking for Two

ATK revolutionizes small-batch baking with innovative techniques, flexible equipment options, and 200+ big-flavor recipes.

ATK cuts sweet and savory treats down to size while cutting out the small-batch baking quirks in this exciting cookbook for two: no calculators to scale recipes, no measuring out half an egg, no buying a container of an ingredient to use just a tablespoon, no stale leftovers, no kitchen full of required equipment. ATK''s small-batch baking way:

<lEliminates waste with recipe yields that work for you: Serve Blueberry-Lavender Cornmeal Crumbles in two ramekins, warm from the oven,&nbsp;or make storage-friendly loaf pan Coconut Snack Cake when you want to share or keep some for the week.</l

<lIs adaptable for the air fryer or toaster oven: Turn to the toaster oven instead of turning on the oven for two scones. Make desserts you never knew you could in the air fryer, even Basque Cheesecake!&nbsp;</l

<lTurns your freezer into a treat factory: Recipes that yield more than a handful are formulated to bake from frozen&mdash;and taste just as good as fresh. Solve the perennial breakfast problem with a half dozen Cranberry-Cardamom Muffins you can bake off individually. (You freeze the batter in paper liners.) Simplify longer recipes like Croissants by preparing them ahead, freezing, and then baking later.&nbsp;</l

<lDelivers baking joy with everyday indulgences: Keep dough balls of Coffee-Toffee Cookies in your freezer. Use store-bought puff pastry to make impressive Everything Bagel Danishes or Fruit Tart in a snap.&nbsp;</l

<lOffers pan options: Cheese Bread with Feta and Nigella Seeds is a delightful mini loaf, but it will satisfy the same if baked in a muffin tin or ramekins. If you have a cute pan collection, there are baby Bundts and petite cakes to please, but there''s always an option to use a conventional pan.</l

Make four Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits for a dinner bread basket, or freeze the dough portions and bake off one or two whenever you like&mdash;in just 25 minutes. Better yet, you can do it in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. Celebrate an intimate birthday with a 6-inch Vanilla and Passionfruit Layer Cake for two.
