I baked my variation on the KAF Wheat-Oat Flax Buns on Sunday afternoon. As usual, I used water not orange juice and buttermilk for the remaining liquid. I cut the yeast to 2 tsp. and use just 1 1/8 tsp. salt. I reduced the honey to 2 ½ Tbs. I added 2 Tbs. special dry milk (to increase calcium). I reduced the AP flour by 2 Tbs., because the last few times I’ve made these, the dough was too dry and harder to shape into smooth balls. That seemed to work well. I did the dough in the bread machine. I decided to make ten rather than twelve buns, because they otherwise seem a bit small. We will use them for Sloppy Josephines for dinner.
Note: I was tempted to make Len's buns, but since I just made them as a bread, I decided some variety is in order.
Sigh, there is a pay wall, so I could not read it, but I did see the picture of the different colored cones before the article was covered.
I've always been a big fan of ice cream cones over dishes and spoons when I used to buy ice cream. Even then, I considered my choice more environmentally sound. I always preferred the sugar cones to the styrafoam looking ones. My first "made-in-the-store" cone was at a little independent ice cream store near UC Riverside, where one of my sisters went to school. I think that they used a krumkake griddle. I've always wanted to try that, and I own an electric krumkake griddle, but now I will need to figure out how to make them without the forbidden butter, and I would use low-fat frozen yogurt inside.
It's a timely subject because I found a brand new--never used Dash pint ice cream maker at the thrift store today for $2, and I have an email for a low-fat frozen yogurt recipe. When I get around to trying it, I'll let everyone know how the recipe and the little machine work.
I've never made bagels, although it is on my "must bake" list. I'm thinking that I can use the bagel topping for breads, although I'll be careful about which ones now that I know that garlic is involved. I do not see it co-existing happily with peanut butter or almond butter.
Italian Cook--Isn't it wonderful when you find an item that makes your life easier? 🙂
My husband has never grasped that one reason I like T.J. Maxx--even when I don't have specific items in mind, is that I will sometimes see an item and realize just how well it will work for solving a problem in the kitchen or home.
