I broke out the dutch oven today to try out a new recipe. It's a pecan ring that you use frozen bread dough to make. It turned out very well, but I did discover that I'm not particularly adept at making 18" long dough ropes. But it turned out alright, and I figure I will get better with more...

Thanks!

The raspberry clafouti turned out great! The extra time was the key, but PrincessFiona's suggestion of covering it with foil for 20 minutes was spot on. Here's a picture of the finished product.

Yeah, the picture isn't that good. There was what I felt to be quite a bit of liquid. That's what made me think of runny. I like your idea of covering with foil. I'll try that and see what happens. Thank you! :-)

It may look like clafouti, but it really shouldn't be that runny, should it? I thought it's be quite a bit firmer. We'll see what happens with the raspberry version.

I tried baking my first cherry clafouti today, and it didn't turn out quite the way I would have liked. I guess I thought that a clafouti was more of a cake, but I should have realized that with 6 eggs in it, it would be a bit more custard like. It tasted just fine. I just think it didn't bake...

Hmmmm.....might work. Why don't you give it a try? I don't need to since I figured out how to get the pizza out of the D.O. :-))

You'd be losing the "oven" concept which is needed for having heat all around the pizza. It would just be like tying to cook a pizza on a flat top grill. It really wasn't that difficult to get it out. Remember that the D.O.'s were only 12", so the pizzas weren't that big. The pizzas were...

I was a little worried about that too. I ended up using an extra wide silicon spatula and the pizzas lifted right out. :-)

Decided to cook up a couple of dutch oven pizzas for dinner tonight. I was pleased with the results, although I over estimated the number of coals to be used under the dutch oven. I was thinking that I needed an even layer of coals to get the pizza dough reasonably crispy. What I ended up...

Actually, the evaporated milk provides the majority of the required moisture, but the quantity of the butter helps too.

I did bake it outside with coals Aunt Bea. It is my favorite way to cook. I do have a "few" recipes for rolls, biscuits, cornbread, and other that I'll be happy to post.

I also did another new recipe today because we're going to a neighbors for dinner and we wanted to bring something a little extra. This recipe is for a Pumpkin Dump Cake. It turned out very well also. My wife thinks I should plan on doing it for Thanksgiving. If I end up doing all of the...

Thanks! :-)

I hear what you're saying. I posted a new thread with a picture attached, no tags, and it worked perfectly the first time. I then tried posting a new second thread exactly the same way as the first, and it wouldn't work because I had "1 more tag than the maximum". I didn't use any tags, and...

As promised, here is the recipe for the blueberry crisp that I made over the weekend. It's a basic recipe that provides a good result. I do think that the quantity of blueberries could be reduced from 6 cups to 5 or even 4. It seemed that there were just too many blueberries for the topping...

Yeah, I forgot to resize the pics. Sorry. I also forgot to get pics of the desserts being served. What can I say? It has been 4 years. I will post the recipes if you like.

I've not seen any official updates yet, but I have learned that if you keep trying, your post should go through. IT took one of mine 4 tries before it finally was posted. The same thing happens with attaching pictures. Just keep trying until your post works. I'm sure the techies are working on...

I'll try again to post the pics of my 2 desserts that I made for our neighbors Labor Day party. Yippee! It worked (after 5 attempts). :-/

Yes, that's exactly what the message was. I tried 4 times. After that many attempts, I just threw up my hands and figured I'd try later. Thanks!

After waiting for almost 4 years, I finally am able to start doing DO cooking again. I decided to do a couple of easy recipes to help get back into the swing of things, so I did a pineapple upside down cake and a blueberry crisp. These were made for a neighbors Labor Day party. Everyone enjoyed...

Thank you. Is there anything I can do in the mean time? Or do we need to just wait it out?

Posting Problems What's up with this error message I keep getting about 1 too many tags on a new post I'm trying to make? It won't let me post, and I'm not attaching any tags. :mad:

You've got some nice looking cast iron there. I've never used any aluminum as I only have cast iron.
