I think brownies are best unfrosted. I like a cakey type brownie preferably with pecans. I do wish I lived close enough to Aaron to try his English Muffins.
I missed this.
Last week I did a low fat chocolate buttermilk cake from 'Have your cake and Eat it Too' by Susan G. Purdy. I had made this last year as a two layer cake and I liked the flavor and texture but thought that it made a very thin cake. Also I still had the dark karo corn syrup I had bought for this cake and wanted to use it.
This year I again baked it in a half sheet pan, but this time I cut it into 4 quarters and layered strawberry jam between the layers. This was frosted with Chocolate Fudge Frosting from King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary cookbook. This made a reasonably high cake, and nicely chocolately. The frosting covered the top well, but the sides were hard to frost. I took it to a party and it was well received.Aaron;
I bake my English Muffins all the time and they often turn into little rolls. I enjoy them like that especially when they are little mushrooms.
I am sorry about the brownies.Congratulations on a good find. I think you should just continue with the active yeast. You can add it to part of the liquid before adding it to the bread machine.
Baker Aunt;
What does your black bean pumpkin soup taste like? The recipe looks fascinating.I did Maple-Rum pudding but left out the rum. This was from "The Cookbook Decoder", it was a very simple recipe 2 egg yolks, 2 cups milk, 6 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/2 cup maple syrup. I had the egg yolks left over from a low fat cake recipe and needed to find a use for them. This was very good and simple. I was stirring constantly but its still slightly lumpy.
Missed that.
Those pumpkin rolls are so cute. They would be great with unsweetened pumpkin cream cheese, or made with a pumpkin yeast bread dough.
What about covering them with bacon and roasting? Would that work and would it be a wet or dry method?
I knew this!
Missed it! I did choose the answer at random.
Got it!
Probably the bread needed more time and a warmer temperature. Nothing about this bread rose as well as the bread last week -- the sponge didn't rise, the dough didn't rise, the shaped loaf didn't rise. The main difference was the temperature 60 degrees in the kitchen as opposed to 66. Next time I am going to give it more time and find it a warmer place to rise.
However the good news is that I have finished insulating my attic, and making the insulated attic hatch cover for the attic ladder so I can hope for warmer temperatures in my house. I need to find a good excuse to run the oven the same day I want to make bread now that its cold. I think one of those recipes where you do a roast at 250 degrees for hours would be perfect. I've seen recipes for bake beans and pot roast in the oven too.I baked a whole wheat bread with 1 cup of very good Cabot cheddar cut in cubes and kneaded in on Tuesday. This is the same recipe I did last week but I baked it in the oven instead of the crockpot. This didn't rise very quickly and I baked it when it was only partially risen, I didn't get much oven spring, it was tasty but rather dense.
