I made another batch of pastry cream using dextrose.
Well the angel food cake seemed a bit underdone on the bottom, I was playing with the baking temperature/time because of the dextrose and I think I went a bit too low.
But it'll still work in a trifle. We cut the bottom off as it wasn't very spongy, but still edible.
I baked another Angel food cake with dextrose tonight, we'll see how it came out in the morning.
I made two batches of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies today, one with mini chocolate chips and the other with mini-M&Ms.
We had leftovers, because after a big Christmas party, we didn't need a big meal.
I've had problems making angel food cakes from scratch in the past, but I researched this one heavily and it went quite smoothly. Only thing I did was mis-measure the water, since I was using egg white protein powder, using 200 grams instead of 300 grams.
I'll make it again just before Christmas, and probably post my adapted recipe after that.
We had hot ham and cheese sandwiches for supper tonight.
Well, it looks and tastes like an angel food cake, a bit on the dense side and not as sweet, both of which I expected and neither will be a problem in a trifle.
Now I need to test the pastry cream recipe with dextrose. If all works out well, we will make a trifle tonight/tomorrow and take it to a Christmas party tomorrow afternoon.
I baked a test angel food cake today, using egg white protein powder and dextrose. It might be a bit on the dense side, but it's intended for a trifle so that won't matter much. I'll also be testing pastry cream made with dextrose instead of sucrose. (Food sensitivity issues.)
I also made a batch of Christmas chocolates using Lily semi-sweet chocolate chips. (Same reason.)
I made a pot roast today. The meat was some that's been in the freezer for quite a while and it has a bit of a freezer taste to it, but it was edible.
We had leftover pizza.
Interesting story, thanks for sharing.
The honeycrisps here don't seem to have developed this bitter pit issue yet, but I generally stop buying them in May or June anyway, waiting for the next year's crop.
I was planning to do a pot roast but the Nebraska volleyball game went on longer than I expected (they lost in 5 sets to Texas A&M) so we went with takeout pizza/lasagna instead for tonight, I'll probably do the pot roast on Tuesday.
We're having onion soup again.
