Food Baking Stuff & Things

[Imnothere]

<p>


Hey does anyone like to bake? I'm obsessed with it and my co-workers and boyfriend absolutely enjoy it. I like to do everything from scratch. I have so many things I haven't tried to make but I have a handful that I've worked with and find they turn out well.

Current Recipes

Brownies Pumpkin Pie w/ Homemade Crust Apple Coffee Cake Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies Choc Chip Cookies Choc Mud Cake Peanut Butter Cookies Ganache (more a ratio thing than recipe)

I've been playing around with making the mud cake recently and working with white chocolate ganache. And after two meh attempts I think I figured out how to make a really good cake so it doesn't crack in the middle or sink in too much. If anyone wants recipes I don't mind sharing. And depending on how this birthday cake turns out I'll even share pictures of it.

I just got an oven recently and would like to start baking myself.


Do you know any good websites with recipes? Especially ones that use metric measurements...

Oooh! That pumpkin pie sounds appetizing! We've all been craving some for a while now. Maybe we can try it out?

I love to bake. Generally google is my recipe book, although I save the ones that are successful. I always look at the reviews of recipes to see if there are helpful suggestions, if something is likely to not work out so well, etc. Sometimes people suggest additions or substitutions that really help a lot.


One of my favorites is a recipe for brown sugar cookies, that uses cinnamon and ginger, so they're a lot like spice cookies, but without having to deal with the extra molasses (aside from what's already in the brown sugar).

xD I wish I could actually bring myself to cook. We have some good recipes, I just like eating more than cooking

THAT IS SO RELATEABLE. It takes so much strength to not eat everything after I've baked... ;w;

Yeah. Cooking most definitely isn't my favorite thing to do, but I so love to eat. I could eat so many homemade potato doughnuts right now... Mmmmm....

Stooop omg. You're making me so hungry! xD But those sound delicious!


One of the main reasons I got into baking was because I like to bake for my friends.

I can make you more hungry. How about homemade apple crisp? With ice cream?


Ah! That's pretty neat! ( )

I absolutely love baking, I do it whenever I can. I especially love making cupcakes and muffins. Lately I've been a little obsessed with pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and caramel apple pie muffins. Mmmm

To be honest I just go online and search. I need to get a kitchen scale and it would really help with recipes but I usually just ask Google what the conversion is for something I don't know.

Hahaha yeah I use Google a lot too. Usually blogs I find. And those sound amazing.

I absolutely love scones I used to work at a bakery and they made scones and I ate way too many. I think they were blueberry white chocolate ones and OMNOMNOM If you wanted to try something new for your snickerdoodles you could try the brown butter ones. Makes them very rich in flavor.

I haven't made many muffins but I usually do apple cinnamon ones. Do you use milk or do you use yogurt? I prefer yogurt but that's just me.

That should be everything The pumpkin pie recipe makes one full pie with leftover filling. It could possible make two but my pie dish is too big.

• Ingredients
• Baking
• Crust

• 
  
  
  2 cups pumpkin (I use butternut squash)
  
  
  354 ml evaporated milk
  
  
  1/2 cup brown sugar
  
  
  1/3 cup white sugar
  
  
  1/2 teaspoon salt
  
  
  2 eggs & 1 yolk
  
  
  2 teaspoon cinnamon
  
  
  1 teaspoon ginger
  
  
  1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  
  
  1/4 teaspoon cloves
  
  
  1/4 teaspoon cardamon
  
  
  1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (I usually pass because I never have them)
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 1 hour at 180°C (or until its soft) let it cool.
  
  
  When pumpkin is cool scoop out into a bowel and mash till smooth. (If you have a food processor or something you can use that to mash it up.)
  
  
  Preheat oven to 220°C
  
  
  Beat eggs into bowel
  
  
  Add sugars, salt, spices and lemon mix well.
  
  
  Add pumpkin and mix.
  
  
  Stir in cream.
  
  
  Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes
  
  
  Lower temp to 180°C and bake for 45-55 minutes minutes. When your toothpick or knife comes out clean from the middle.
  
  
  Cool for 2 hours.
  
  
  (I usually put foil on the edges of my pie crust and pull them off halfway through baking so not the burn the pie crust.)
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  With pie crust most people would use a food processor or something similar. I don't have that so I use my hands. If you use a food processor etc look up a pie crust recipe that uses a processor because it's different.
  
  
  2 1/2 cups flour
  
  
  1 tablespoon white sugar
  
  
  1 teaspoon salt
  
  
  500 grams butter cold
  
  
  Fill small bowl with water and ice make sure its quite cold.
  
  
  In a big bowl whisk flour, sugar and salt together.
  
  
  Dice butter into 1/2 pieces (I roughly estimate)
  
  
  Mix the butter and flour till the butter is pea sized.
  
  
  Drizzle water slowly as you gather dough together. It says use 1/2 cup but I just use what I think is good. You don't want it too wet or too dry.
  
  
  Knead dough into big ball then split in half. The recipe can make two single pie crust (no top)
