Any spooky treats in the oven?

I wonder if I can find a keto-friendly pan de muerto cookies recipe?

I baked my "Maple Cookies without Butter" on Sunday. I used my three Nordic Ware Halloween cookie stamps--a spider, a cat, and a pumpkin--and made six of each.

I baked a Cherry Pie today for my niece.

That's a fine-looking pie, Joan! Happy Birthday to your niece!

Looks great, Joan. I like the look of a lattice crust on a cherry pie but my wife prefers a regular top crust.

These days I'm tending to minimize the crust around the outside, sometimes there's a half-inch thick section that's just pie dough without any filling to make it worth eating. I was always terrible at fluting, anyway.

The next time I make the keto apple pie I'm going to make about 25% less pie dough, I figure that will save 2-3 carbs/serving.

That pie looks great, Joan. I haven't made one in some time.

On Monday morning, I baked Pumpkin Oat Muffins in Halloween muffin papers. I like celebrating the season.

I'm looking to make some pan de muerto today or tomorrow, making some keto-friendly changes to the recipe.

I purchased the KA mini scone pan and am wondering if anyone has the pan and what they make in it. I volunteered to make scones for our fashion show.

Yes and No, Navlys. I have the mini scone pan, but I have never used it. Hangs head in shame.

To be fair to myself, I had to take most butter out of my baking. I also think that they are great for a tea party, if I ever were to have one.

Your question made me recall that while going through some recipes the other day, I saw a recipe for "Scone Nibbles" that came from King Arthur. It did not use the pan but baked on a sheet to get 32. If you want the recipe, and KABC no longer has it, let me know, and I'll post it here.

I've used the mini-scone pan, generally about once a month, or 10 years, I think. It takes a little more time to fill the "wells" than it takes to pat out the dough and cut into whatever shape(s). However, the size is great for portion-limiting. I use the cookie size scoop, then the back of a spoon to fill the corners. I feel it is well-worth the expense. Are you looking for other ways to use the pan? I suppose you could use it to bake triangular cupcakes? I'm sure others here can come up with more ideas!!

The cookies are delicious, Kimbob. While I am good at eating just one a day, my husband is devouring them quickly. I hope there will still be one or two by Halloween.
