10 . Marionberry pie
Marionberry pie is a traditional comfort food staple from Oregon. Marionberries are a cross of Chehalem and Olallie blackberries, characterized by a tart and complex flavor with a hint of earthiness and sweetness. The crust for this pie is made with flour, salt, shortening, and cold water, while the basic filling is prepared with a combination of marionberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon for extra flavor.
Once assembled, the pie is baked until it develops a golden-brown color.
09 . Maple Bar Doughnut
Maple bar is an unusual American doughnut originating from the West coast and usually associated with California. The doughnut is rectangular in shape and topped with a maple glaze. Inside, it can be left as it is or filled with cream or custard.
The dough is often made with a mix of flour, egg yolks, vanilla, shortening, baking powder, salt, sugar, water, and yeast, while the maple icing contains powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and maple extract. These doughnuts have many variations, so they’re often topped with nuts or bits of bacon
08 . Huckleberry pie
Huckleberry pie is a traditional American double crust pie with a sweet-tart huckleberry filling. This dessert is typically made by covering a pie crust with a mixture of huckleberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest, thickeners, and butter, and the concoction is then finished off with a top crust.
Flour, cornstarch, or tapioca are usually used as thickeners, while cinnamon and nutmeg are often added to the filling for extra flavor. The pie is baked in the oven until bubbly, golden brown, and crispy, and it is usually consumed warm or at room temperature.
07 . Chiffon pie
With meringue being its ultimate inspiration, chiffon pie was originally made with the incredibly light, mousse-like filling based on egg whites and a crisp shell of graham crackers acting as a base. This American classic is said to have been invented in Los Angeles in 1926 by a baker named Monroe Boston Strause.
Within a couple of years of his invention, Strause boasted the largest pie business in the West, and became known as the nation’s champion pie maker, or simply the Pie King. The delicate chiffon pie is still today one of country’s favorite desserts and it most often comes with a zesty, lemon-flavored filling.
06 . Chiffon cake
This airy sponge cake was invented in 1927 by Harry Baker, a California insurance salesman-turned-baker. He kept the recipe secret for 20 years until he sold it to the Washburn-Crosby Company, today General Mills, who introduced it in 1948 with a major Betty Crocker marketing blitz, publishing a set of 14 different recipe variations.
Chiffon was advertised as “the first really new cake in a hundred years,” thanks to its “secret ingredient”—the recipe used vegetable oil instead of conventional shortening which made chiffon cake light and fluffy like angel food cake, yet rich and moist like classic butter cakes.
05 . Malasadas
Malasadas are traditional Portuguese yeast-leavened doughnuts made from eggs, flour, sugar, and milk. They are sometimes coated with cinnamon or granulated sugar. The original Portuguese malasadas don’t have any holes or fillings, but the variations prepared in Hawaii do.
The popularity of malasadas in Hawaii is not accidental – Portuguese laborers from the Azores and Madeira came to Hawaii in the 19th century to work in the plantations. They brought their traditional foods with them, including the malasadas, which were originally prepared in order to use all the sugar and lard in one’s home before Lent.
04 . Hot Fudge Sundae
A take on the classic ice cream sundae, hot fudge sundae consists of ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. In this sundae version, a helping of warm, gooey chocolate sauce is poured over scoops of cold ice cream (traditionally vanilla ice cream) – a step that creates a nice temperature contrast and elevates the sensory pleasure offered by the creamy dessert.
A dollop or more of light and fluffy whipped cream goes on top of the ice cream drenched in chocolate sauce, and the whole thing is then garnished with sprinkles, toasted nuts, or a red maraschino cherry if desired. This simple yet rich dessert has been around since 1906 when it is believed to have been invented by Los Angeles-based candy maker, Clarence Clifton Brown, who, at that time, owned a store called C.
03 . Bizcochito
Bizcochito is the official state cookie of New Mexico. Deeply rooted in its history, it was originally invented by the first Spanish colonists of New Mexico as a way of expressing the local culture, customs, and flavors through gastronomy. These crispy cookies consist of butter or lard, sugar, milk, flour, baking powder, and spices such as cinnamon and anise.
As other immigrants started to arrive in New Mexico, they brought their own recipes, and a variety of bizcochitos was created, with the two most popular versions originating from southern and northern New Mexico. The cookies are especially popular during festive events and celebrations such as Christmas and weddings.
02 . Fortune cookies
The intriguing fortune cookies are crispy folded wafers hiding an entertaining “fortune” inside. The “fortune” is a written note; a proverb or a universal prophecy believed to predict the person’s future. The cookies are made with flour, sesame oil, and sugar, and have a slight vanilla flavor.
They are rolled in flat, perfectly round shapes, then baked. Before they are folded, when they are still hot and pliable, the written fortune is nestled inside the cookie. As they cool, the fortune cookies harden and achieve their distinctively crunchy texture.
01 . Jell _ O
Jell-O is an extremely popular, branded, simple gelatin dessert from the United States. Gelatin, the main ingredient in Jell-O is made by extracting collagen from the boiled bones of animals. Jell-O was invented in 1897 by Pearle Wait, who experimented with gelatine and invented a new, fruit-flavored dessert.
His wife May loved it and named it Jell-O. The couple sold the patent and the name to their neighbour, Frank Woodward, who excelled in marketing the new product via ads, recipe books, and Jell-O molds. Because of his marketing techniques, Jell-O became one of the most popular brands in American history.
