I have to wear an apron whenever I am baking/cooking.. too messy otherwise!
I always change into my “kitchen cooking clothes.”
There are just 2 of us - trifle seems like a “crowd” dessert, although I guess it’s possible to make “mini” individual versions in tall wine glasses.
Well, laundry’s done and I’ve got a new addition to my kitchen cooking clothes collection.
Some individual trifles and other layered pudding desserts are sold in small jars, custard cups or verrines in Toronto, around 4 to 8 ounce servings.
I prefer cake and custard myself (with optional berries on top), but everyone I know who likes trifle usually makes enough for leftovers! There’s also a jello version of trifle, where the layers are cake, custard, and jello.
Apple Cake
Just an old (Pillsbury) recipe, always reliable, I never even bother to peel the apples. With hard sauce.
These were so popular I just made another batch to give to my friend’s visiting relatives.
I can stand to waste food; I had enough for 2 more cookies. I was going to freeze it but I knew I’d forget about it.
I wonder how much the gas is costing me for 11 minutes …
Ye olde reliable Kentucky butter cake for social hour at Mom’s church tomorrow. Looks plain, tastes amazing.
AI assistance is amazing… here’s the answer I got
The cost to operate a gas oven at 350 degrees for 11 minutes is approximately 3 to 5 cents, depending on the specific BTU rating of the oven and local gas prices. For a more accurate estimate, you can use a gas cost calculator with your local rates.
So, not bad and I avoided peak rate of 4-9 pm DAILY!!!
Epicurious’s Cheddar & Old Bay biscuits.
The recipe states “8 biscuits”. It should read “8 giant biscuits”. I made half recipe for 4 biscuits: 2 for tonight and 2 for the freezer (unbaked). I let the “tonight” biscuits chill in the fridge a couple of hours before baking. If anything, I found these a bit stodgy - too much butter is my guess. BUT the flavor profile - Old Bay, garlic, and cheddar - is amazing!
I’ll def be tweaking those seasonings in my biscuit-baking future…
That cake is such a crowd-pleaser ( for good reason!)
It really is. If there are no leftovers, I’ll be pretty bummed.
flavor profile sounds right up my alley.
The kiddo and I baked Mexican Wedding Cookies (which, incidentally, are the same dough as Austrian Vanillekipferl). We skipped the powdered sugar because mess.
Very good! I like how straightforward and reliable the ATK for kids recipes are.
They look great! FWIW: AKA Russian Tea Cakes.
