My wife is starting a rewatch of Buffy for a Facebook group project. Part of that rewatch is going to be focusing on what Dawn's role and influence in each episode was since people tend to ignore her in the early seasons.

To start this project off right she asked for popcorn with flaked red pepper dark chocolate. If you are going to do something do it right.

Leftover lumberjack food (potatoes, kielbasa, peppers and onions baked in the oven) that's been in the freezer with cheese and sour cream. Leftover cornbread and a fried goose egg that had to break and ruin a perfect picture opportunity. Goose egg yolks love to break unless you are extra careful.

My avocados weren't ripe yet so I had to come up with a backup dinner plan. Fortunately I have quarts of chili I canned up and all the ingredients for cornbread on hand.

I use Alton Brown's chili powder recipe. I have modified the recipe methodology to make 2 quarts at a time because I go through a lot of chili powder.

Cost per person: $5

My toddler loves a specific kind of bread. Likely because it’s sweetened. I would like to avoid the sugar. Perhaps if I can make an unsweetened version of his favorite „round bread“? I found a recipe for this kind of bread, but obviously it’s got syrup in it.

I wonder if it’s possible to skip or replace the syrup somehow. I know baking is chemistry, so this might be difficult. I guess I would be okay with adding a small amount of sugar to help the yeast. What else am I missing? I assume the consistency would change if I just skip the syrup?
So I’m looking for advice.

The original recipe:

  • 50g fresh yeast
  • 6dl fingerwarm milk
  • 50g butter, room temperature
  • 0.75dl light syrup
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 9dl wheat flour
  • 6dl rye flour

Crumble the yeast into a bowl and dissolve it with the milk. Add butter, syrup, salt, and flour a little at a time towards the end. Mix everything together into a smooth dough and knead it for a few minutes. Let the dough rise under a kitchen towel for 45 minutes.

Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Form them into round balls and flatten them on a floured baking board. Roll them out into rounds, about 1 cm thin. Roll out the last time with a rolling pin or prick tightly with a fork. Roll quite hard so that there is a deep pattern, otherwise large air bubbles will form in the bread during baking.

Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rise under a kitchen towel for about 20 minutes. Set the oven to 250°C.

Bake the rounds in the middle of the oven for 8-9 minutes or until they are golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack under a kitchen towel.

Edit: Thanks everyone for your input! I think I’ll try to just leave the syrup out entirely and give it more time to rise. I don’t know what the dough should feel like at the different fermentation stages (so I don’t know how to judge when it is ready). So I might actually end up making just the original recipe first, to help me with that. It will be a few days before I have time to try this out. Thanks again!

blackberry jam (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 days ago by FauxPseudo to c/cooking
 
 

Last summer I picked a whole lot of blackberries that were volunteers in my yard. The problem with them is that they are very astringent. By turning him into jam said I'm mixing four cups of blackberries to 7 cups of sugar. I almost cover up the astringency.

I have a lot of blackberries to go. And I'm going to get whole lot of other blackberries real soon. What can I do other than jam that will cover up the astringency? I'm half tempted to make wine out of it and then back sweeten accordingly. But I'd prefer a non-alcoholic option.

Shakshuka (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 days ago by FauxPseudo to c/cooking
 
 

Shakshuka but with biscuits because I could make them fast and cheap. And a little extra fat with leftover avocado.

Cost: $3.50 per person if you don't have to pay for eggs because you have chickens. Otherwise I think it's $35.

Easily one of if not the best chocolate ice creamy things I've put in my mouth, including other chocolate ice creams. I made my batch with water so that the chocolate flavor would be more "pure" and added a shot of espresso. It turned out great in my Ninja Creami.

Why does fresh rosemary taste dry? I don't mean it tastes like dried rosemary, but i don't know how else to describe how it makes my tongue feel. Why is it like that?

Are there any lemmings who can recommend a good tres leches recipe? I've never had one, so I don't really know what to look for.

I've had a look online and I've pretty much only been able to find recipes that have quantities in imperial measurements. For most things thats not a problem, but I have no idea how to covert solid metrics into volumetric and vice versa (eg. butter in TSP and flour in cups)

Closest I've been able to find is this one from a UK supermarket, but it looks as dense as a neutron star. My understanding is that these things are meant to be as moist as anything.

Can someone please share one that they've tried, liked and can vouch is authentic (also with metric measurements)

Potato starch noodle recipe: https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/handmade-potato-noodles/

For my chili crisp:

  • 1/2c vegetable oil
  • 1tbsp soy sauce
  • 1tbsp black vinegar
  • 1/2tbsp brown sugar
  • 1tbsp sichuan peppercorns, ground
  • 1tsp ground cumin
  • 1tsp chicken bouillon (or just use salt and some msg)
  • 1tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2tbsp gochugaru
  • 4 chile de arbol, coursely ground (adjust up or down based on how spicy you like it)
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Note: chopped peanuts are a great addition to this - I am allergic, so I leave them out, but you should consider adding them

Mix together gochugaru, ginger, brown sugar, and spices in a heat proof container. Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, cook and stir often until you start to see some color, then strain them out and put them on a paper towel to drain. Add onions to oil and repeat process. Heat oil to 375F or until smoking, then pour into the rest of the ingredients and stir. Add the onion and garlic to it when the mixture has cooled off a bit.

For the main dish:

  • 2tbsp oil drained off of the chili crisp
  • 1tbsp soy sauce
  • 1tbsp black vinegar
  • 1/2tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 to 1/2lb protein of choice
  • Boiled potato starch noodles
  • veggies and chili crisp to garnish

Heat oil over medium high heat. Add your protein and cooked to desired doneness. Add the soy sauce and vinegar and cook til it reduces. Add the noodles and just toss to coat.

We had this with some veggies we had on hand (cucumber and radish) and garnished with cilantro and chili crisp.

Since I discovered Oklahoma onion burgers I’ve cooked nothing else (I mean I’ve cooked other things but no other kind of burger). So much flavor.

So, is there a better burger anywhere? Anyone?

If combining two things from a fridge could be called a new recipe. It tastes good, I promise.

This recipe is based on one I got from Epicurious many years ago and have been using as my sole muffin recipe ever since. It can be flavored any number of ways. This is my favorite flavor combo.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 1 tsp baking soda 1 egg 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp lemon extract Dried cranberries or blueberries

Glaze One lemon, zested and juiced 1/3 cup white sugar

Directions

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Stir in lemon zest and dried fruit.

In another bowl, combine yogurt, oil, vanilla and the egg. Beat together until smooth.

Add wet ingredients to dry.

Fill greased muffin tins all the way (will rise nicely) or use cupcake liners and bake at 375 F for about 25 minutes.

Stir together lemon juice and white sugar to make a thick glaze. When slightly cooled, remove from muffin tin onto cooling rack. Use a toothpick to poke holes in the tops of the baked muffins while they are still hot from the oven and slather the glaze on. It will be a messy business but well worth it. When they cool, the tops will be sticky and encrusted with sugary goodness.

You can use whatever extract and fruit you like, add nuts, and/or make a crumble topping. These muffins are moist and light and sweet

I left a package of lightlife smart ground unrefrigerated overnight. The main ingredient is soy protein concentrate, and the packaging looks vacuum sealed. Do you think this is safe to eat?

So I have been working to make delicious focaccia, several attempts and so far I had a great time using a high protein white flour, wholegrain has been okay but less airy, and over night refrigerated rest is a must.

I have attempted to trim the time down to a 4 hour venture and results come out as a finer crum bread which is still very tasty.

Preferably for plain old green cabbage, since I bought half a head on a whim without a plan.
