      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!!

                            Beautiful pie, Joan!

                            Bet the cookies were delicious, BakerAunt.

                              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.

                                I made a small batch of ossi de morti (bones of the dead) almond cookies tonight, just to see how well the recipe works. I baked them at a lower temperature than normal (around 280) so that they'd dry out more, and am pleased they didn't lose their shape.

                                For a low-carb cookie (made with almond meal, Carbalose and Splenda) the taste is pretty good. I think I might increase the amount of almond extract but that's a tricky ingredient, too much overwhelms the rest of the cookie.

                                  Very cool Mike! School is closed on Friday so this might be fun for Violet.

                                  There are a million recipes on the web. Where did you find yours?
