10,000 buttery recipes

Here I adapted an 18th century English spice cake recipe which also makes nice cupcakes.

Veal Francese dredges pounded scaloppine in flour, dips in seasoned egg wash, and pan fries in butter for golden cutlets finished with a fresh lemon pan sauce. Italian-American classic.

Elegant French apple pudding soufflé with Calvados, sautéed apples, and almond macaroon crumbs served with homemade vanilla sauce for special occasion dessert.

Japanese-style hamburger skillet with ground beef, ramen noodles, frozen Japanese vegetables, soy sauce, and toasted almonds. A quick, one-pan weeknight dinner with Asian-inspired flavors.

Pork chops and stuffing baked in cream of mushroom soup gravy. Each browned chop gets topped with a homemade bread stuffing mound and baked for one hour.

Roasted sweet potato wedges drizzled with a glossy balsamic-honey reduction. The vinegar cooks down to a syrupy glaze, finished with butter, that balances sweet caramelized edges against a sharp tang.

Silky carrot leek bisque with basil, sage, and a spoonful of miso for depth. Blended smooth with reserved carrot slices stirred back in for texture. Light, warming, and ready in 45 minutes.

A slow-braised Swedish beef chuck roast with an unexpected twist: anchovies, whiskey, vinegar, and brown sugar build a deeply savory pan sauce. Fork-tender after 2 hours. Add cream to the pan juices for a silky gravy.

Kolachky cream cheese dough, the rich, flaky pastry base for these Eastern European cookies. Just flour, butter, cream cheese and egg, chilled overnight, rolled on sugar and filled with prune, apricot, walnut or poppy seed.

Fudgy, cocoa-rich brownies loaded with pecan halves and chocolate chunks. Butter melted right into the cocoa gives these a dense, truffle-like center with a crackly dry top. Game day gold.

Traditional samosa pastry dough (Khol) made from whole wheat flour, ghee, salt, and a pinch of baking powder. Stiff pliable wrappers for crisp, flaky homemade samosas.

Whole wheat Irish soda bread made with graham flour and tangy buttermilk, no yeast or rising time. Just six pantry staples, a quick knead, and a deep cross scored on top for that signature rustic loaf.

Egg croquettes are crisp golden balls of chopped hard-cooked eggs and mushrooms bound in cream sauce, breaded and deep-fried. A retro brunch classic served with extra cream sauce on top.

Whole roast duck stuffed with a sweet apple, raisin, and cashew dressing, topped with bacon strips for extra richness. Serve alongside wild rice for a cozy fall dinner.

Peppery breaded pork chops dipped in garlic butter and coated in seasoned bread crumbs with red pepper flakes. Freezer-friendly and oven-baked until crispy.

These cookies have many names: Butterballs, Russian Teacakes, etc. In New Mexico, they are "Polvorones" which is Spanish for "Dust Balls".
