baking

Hi all,

Been wanting to change my shopping habits to include more products that are grown and made within my country. I recently found out that, while the sugar I buy at the store is made within the province, the same does not appear to be the case with the brown sugar available.

Now I understand that I could in theory make my own at home by combining sugar and molasses, but the molasses at the store is all imported from Guatemala. I was wondering mixing the sugar with another syrup of sorts would work in a similar fashion, namely Maple or Blueberry syrup. I'm aware it would alter the flavour, but curious if it would be something that would even be feasible at all.

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I feel like this world isn't made for me.

Temperature of the oven (green) and the oil / Yorkshire puddings (yellow). I think I did not heat the oil quite hot enough this time (looks like about 410F), since the batter didn't sizzle as much as usual when I poured it in and I didn't get good cup shapes.

Batter is equal mass of eggs, soy milk, and all purpose flour (200g each / 4 eggs), whisked and rested overnight in the fridge.

One of King Arthur's dinner roll recipes! Very squishy.

This was supposed to be a jellied cherry topping, but it didn't solidify properly, so i dapted and called it a glaze instead. It was absolutely delicious and i took it to my coworkers working the bar tonight.

I baked "Chocolate Lava Cakes For Two", the NYT Cooking recipe. It's one I make semi-regularly, pretty quick on a weeknight and delicious. I have small ramekins so the recipe makes three and they cook a little faster than the recipe's would.

I have two temperature probes (thermocouples on a Tasmota ESP8266 => HomeAssistant => Grafana). Mostly for my entertainment, but here you can see the internal temperature got to 151F, and I was surprised to see how much the oven's temperature rebounded after I took the cakes out, despite being off.

mother's day tomorrow ;wondering if it's possible to make the dessert in advance because it's easier when they're out of the house so it's a secret. thanks!

Every year we bake cookies and deliver them to our friends and family who live close.

Currently I'm in Norway and at the supermarket I found dry yeast, but in three different packages, one for pizza, one for sweet doughs, and one for savory doughs (which I guess does not include pizza?). The ingredients were just "dry yeast" and an emulsifier, but the proportions were not listed.

The first cake I've made since before COVID. Turned out pretty good. The skulls are plastic since I don't have the talent to make those!

Originally based on this recipe from Preppy Kitchen, but I tweaked a lot over time. I’ll share my recipe if anyone is interested :)
