Thanks Mike. Appreciate it. Gives me a good place to start. And some places to stay away from!
From Woodie Allen's movie "Sleeper" way back in 1973...
Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called "wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk."
Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible.
You are correct. The powder does lack the tang. I think that is what my family does not like (I do but I have been out-voted). They do like my sour cream coffeecake however so maybe there is hope.
Thanks
How strong is the buttermilk flavor here? I use powdered buttermilk all the time. I've tried substituting the real, liquid stuff in waffles and scones a couple times and my family did not like it.
I may try the boiled flour icing recipe. Looks interesting.
Thanks
I had a white, plastic lidded waffle maker for years. The place I bought it, Lechmere, went bust long ago. Now I have a metal lidded one that is about 10 years old and slowly dying...
For some reason I had different recipes for waffle and pancake batter for years. I now use the same for both which seems to amaze my family. Last weekend I made plain pancakes and waffles AND blueberry pancakes and waffles (my youngest has decided she does not like blueberries).
I have not tried the muffin trick yet but it makes sense. Everyone is putting everything in a muffin tin these days. The hot new thing in NYC is mufagles - a bagel baked in a muffin tin. I've also seen people breathless at "duffins" or doughnuts in muffin tins even though KAF did that years ago and bakeries here in Hartfordland (which usually lags the rest of the world) was selling those as dirt bombs for years before I moved here.
BTW, another new thing is bagel holes. Has anyone here cut bagels? I've always made ropes and then joined the ends together in circles.
BEW
