This stuffing takes care of itself hours before anyone arrives at the door. It’s akin to a savoury bread pudding—puffed and pillowy at its centre with a touch of crunch at its edges.

Startlingly effective despite its simplicity, this salad of bitter greens provides essential brightness to a holiday table.

These croissants can be baked immediately or stashed in the fridge overnight for brunch tomorrow. The finished croissants will be softer if they are cooked snugly in a baking dish with high sides, whereas if they are spaced out on a baking sheet, they’ll have a crispy edge. Choose as you’d like. 8H 40 Mins

These chunky blocks of winter cheer land between blondies and cake, with the spirit of a loaded muffin. They are as appropriate for breakfast as they are with tea in the afternoon or packed up for snacking while out and about. Browning milk powder in the butter amps up the toasty notes of the batter, helping round out the fiery lick of fresh and dried ginger. 1H 45 Mins
