2017 Edition - What are you baking?

[CWS4322]

I am not a fan of rhubarb except in savoury dishes. Yesterday I made caramel rolls, today rhubarb pies.

Have you tried strawberry-rhubarb pie? My grandmother used to make them every spring or summer.

Hate it. It is very popular where I live in Canada. Took the smaller pie to a neighbour who is in home hospice.

I "baked" a batch of 16 English muffins today.

I get a kick out of some of the comments people post on food blogs. Here's one for the above Coffee Cake:

"This looks lovely and sounds simple , but where does the coffee ingredient come in? or do you mean its a good cake with coffee? I’m confused, I was looking for how much coffee you use?"

I actually once made a coffee cake with coffee in it. Yeah, kinda like Tira misunderstood. (Oh this autocorrect is driving me NUTS! Tira misu ) yeah, instant coffee dI solved in water to give the coffee flavor. It was Good! Made mocha chocolate cookies too once! Sooooo good!

-------------------------
That pie looks good too! Don't know if I've ever had rhubarb. Hmm But chicken pot pie sounds good! (That's how I processed that )

------------------------

Oh and nice Andy! Never thought to make English muffins. How do you do it?

 

[Andy M.]

Second try for hamburger rolls. They look good and we'll test them tonight.

Tinkering around and playing in flour and yeast today . Discovered a recipe for no-knead dinner rolls that sounded intriguing and am still on my quest to make decent biscuits.

The no-knead rolls recipe is definitely a "keeper" and the recipe for biscuits on the back of the White Lily all-purpose flour bag is pretty neat, too.

I've never been the best biscuit maker and have had an on-going quest to find a recipe that produces the type of biscuit that I consider a biscuit. Got a little closer today.

At least Glenn is a willing taste-tester.

Those look perfect, Andy.

Nice buns, Andy.

Katie, I have one of those willing taste-testers, too. Good luck with the biscuit search.

Seeing as how I bake in spurts, today I spurted out a loaf of Sally Lunn bread and two quick breads-Mom's banana nut and a blueberry-lemon one. Cut the quick-breads in half; both halves of the banana nut and one half of the blueberry are in the freezer. I think the next time I make the blueberry bread I'll leave the pecans out. Just doesn't taste right.

CG, do you have recipes for these breads? They look delicious.

Recipe?

I adapted this recipe MsM
https://www.justataste.com/sour-cream-coffee-cake-muffins-with-streusel-topping/

I added a 1/2 cup of chopped Pecans to the streusel, as well a bit more Vanilla Extract to the batter, although I think Almond Extract would be lovely, and I really
should have made the 12 jumbo muffins as the recipe states
Just a bit too full

SO just baked a batch of paklava for a function we're going to Sunday. It's done and cooling waiting for it's simple syrup bath.

Just took a tray of hamburger buns out of the oven. I smoked a 7-pound pork shoulder yesterday in the stovetop smoker and you can't eat shredded pork and barbecue sauce unless it's parked on a big fat bun.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

I have all the dry ingredients together for tomorrow for making Alton Brown's English Muffins. I got sidetracked today when I was starting to make them. So had to put that aside.
