        BakerAunt;
        When I do blueberry scones ( its a muffin recipe but baked in a cast iron frying pan ). I don't add the blueberries immediately to the dough. I put a layer of dough without blueberries in the bottom of the pan, about 1/3 to 1/2 of the dough, then I mixed the blueberries with the rest of the dough and and add it to the pan. This should give me a layer of dough at the bottom of the frying pan without any blueberries and it does reduce sticking.
        Now if I can remember to baked it throughly. The last pan was slightly undercooked. I think it needed to be cooked 5 minutes longer because of having the blueberries. I think I baked it last Wednesday, the days are running together in my head.

        Your recipe seems to have more liquid than mine. Perhaps if you added a little more flour or reduced the buttermilk slightly?

        Oh I baked a small whole wheat focaccio yesterday.

                Aaron, how thick were your pancakes and how many did you make? What did your children think of them?

                  I guessed and guessed incorrectly.

                      The bread shapes are wonderful. I'd love to have that crab loaf with some (lots!) of clam chowder. Can you imagine how great it would be with friends and a huge dutch oven of clam chowder?
                      I wish they had a picture of the 2020 in bread.

                        I liked BRM baking powder when I could find it in the grocery store. It fills two of the little baking powder cannisters.
                        I used to go to Sur La Table to sneer at the trendy and unneccessary gadgets, but when I needed a tart pan it was the place that had it in stock.

                          When I make pie crusts, I roll them out between sheets of wax paper and when I am cutting up frozen butter, I often have the cutting board covered with wax paper.'

                            I had to use a calculator twice. The first answer I got was so off I knew my thinking was wrong.

                                I found one of the advantages of pancakes over muffins for breakfast, is that cold pancakes are moister and softer than cold muffins. I heat muffins slightly before eating them, but can eat pancakes out of the refrigerator.

                                Aaron,
                                How do you deal with your frozen pancakes? Do you put them in the toaster? oven? microwave? before eating them?

                                  I did whole wheat raisin bread with currants instead of raisins. I'm surprised at how different it is from the white flour raisin breads I did when whole wheat flour was unavailable. I had forgotten how harsh the whole wheat bread could taste, and the difference between cooking with raisins and currants. I should have added additional sugar to the bread, I had assumed that the currants would add more sweetness but they didn't. Possibly the raisins being bigger allowed more sugar to spread into the dough.
                                  I cooked it in a slow cooker on high for about 3 1/2 hours to 190 degrees. One of the nice thing about a whole wheat bread is that its always a good color. the white flour bread was unpleasantly pale when I cooked it in a slow cooker.
