The Baking Thread

[leggo PE]

I think most of the recipes in the magazine are ones on the website, right?  I'm hoping my sister buys me the America's Test Kitchen cooking book and a cool dessert book I saw at Costco for Christmas.  Like, I don't mind using recipes off the internet, but it's just so nice sometimes to have a real copy in your hand.

Is the cool dessert book the Simple Cakes cookbook? I haven't made a lot from it but I think I did do one bundt (posted earlier in this thread) so far. I think I'm going to make a sheet cake for a party we're throwing this weekend... Just which one??

I'm trying to write down the recipes I really like into a notebook so I can have them in my hand. I lost my fave mini cheesecake recipe a few years ago because the blogger went AWOL and the site went down and I didn't have it saved anywhere 

I've been worried about this happening for a few recipes I found online, so I generally email myself recipes I want to try nowadays, no matter where they are from (unless it's like a NYT recipe or something).

I usually print them because I don't like having my phone covered in flour. But I can't find my print out. But I did find my huge pile of recipes torn out from the old Martha Stewart FOOD magazine and there's printouts in there so there's hope. I started going thru and holy hell is that binder overwhelming. Some of it is organized - cut out & taped to paper in page protectors and then some of it falls out every time I touch the binder lol

maybe? i'll check when I find it.

Yeah!  DITTO.  When I find a recipe I really like, I copy it down into a book I have.  I know there are some that I've missed, so when I have a good weekend when nothing is going on, my plan is to look for those recipes and copy them over.

I hate that bloggers just randomly lose their license and the recipe is gone!  I mean, I'm angry because a random site that had good directions on reheating frozen baguette isn't there anymore and I'm sad now!

Also, has anyone figured out how to get around the NYT paywall?  Half the time I just want to check the recipe to see if it's similar to something I already have, but I don't want to pay for a subscription...

You could have me email it to you?

WAHATGYFUWSJIOMLKCFSA.  I have so many recipes that they send to me in the mail that I'm like, "huh, that looks interesting.  Maybe when I get a subscription I'll check this out/ copy+paste/ print it"  I def might be asking you for a couple recipes that keep bugging me.  !!!!!

incognito tabs?

Incognito tabs stopped working a while back because they can detect you're using incognito tabs.  Google has promised a fix for this though.

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate fosting. 48 minis and 6 regular! I doubled the recipe that said 10 regular but didnt double the frosting

 

[JayKay PE]

^^ @LyceeFruit, obviously should have tripled the frosting.  For next time.

And I thought you weren't making...muffin-shaped things.

lol, I actually had extra frosting.

And I don't like this frosting recipe - it's different than my normal buttercream, I made the one the blogger gave with the cupcakes.

A whole stick of butter. So to triple.... so much butter

And made mini cupcakes since they;re for my GOTR team (3rd-5th graders). It's the Superhero muffins I'm trying not to make lol

K, I've been making muffins consistently for the like, last 6 weeks... I need some inspiration!

I've made the superhero muffins, the oatmeal zucchini muffins, banana muffins, lemon poppy seed muffins... 

Or maybe I should just make the chocolate zucchini muffins that are so, so good?

That's a lot of chocolate banana bread/muffin options... Do you have a preference?

I like the one with siggis. Read the comments for mods to make it muffins tho.

Note: it does get fuzzy in a few days if unrefrigerated.

But I've made all three. I just love bananas and chocolate lol

Unbaked caramelized onion and butternut squash gallete (which was delicious):



Double layered vanilla cake with lemon buttercream frosting (I didn't saw off the top of the lower tier to level it because I got lazy). I also ran out of powdered sugar to make more buttercream, so the frosting application was a bit haphazard. Regardless, this is quite yummy!



And lastly, carrot tahini muffins... We'll see if the flavor off these grows on me.

so I had plans to bake & cook this weekend.

And then we got a dog... so...
