    Texture of Scones

    I'm in Atlanta, GA which is pretty humid but I don't think my humidity varies all that much -- and in this case I've had the A/C running for some time so the air should be pretty dry. But I'll keep that in mind. Good thing I didn't start baking when I lived in Colorado Springs. That would have...

    Texture of Scones

    I tried 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of 2/3 cup and it did indeed come out more like a thick cookie in texture vs. the quite nice cake the standard recipe gives. I kind of like it better though. I got the recipe here Sour Cream Scones Recipe | MyRecipes.com Though I do make changes. I use...

    Texture of Scones

    I make a Sour Cream Scones recipe I got from Cooking Light. I substitute Whey low sugar for diabetics as well as low sodium baking powder. It's a moderately dry dough that has to be worked for a while to get it to form into a dough. I usually start with a spatula, folding until I can pick it up...

    Using my Mom's Cookie Jar

    I made some cookies (found a recipe that I had all the ingredients for -- basically a coconut, raisin cookie). I made them too big and the coconut was a little old but it actually came out decent. I put them in the jar to see how they perform. This is a kind of soft cookie so it's likely to go...

    Are we talking like Ace Hardware or somewhere like Lowes? Or some specialty seal company?

    Using my Mom's Cookie Jar

    Thanks, the ziplock bag is an interesting idea. I'm thinking maybe a Gingerbread cookie. I love gingerbread and my understanding is that they keep for quite a while relative to some other cookies. I sometimes get myself into trouble in recipes trying to healthy them up some. I use Whey Low sugar...

    Using my Mom's Cookie Jar

    Ha, yes and no. My mom wasn't an avid cook, she typically put store bought cookies in there and I did tend to eat them too fast. Now I'm older and I try to eat more sensibly so I may need them to last longer than they perhaps used to. Plus my understanding is that if I bake some cookies, even if...

    Using my Mom's Cookie Jar

    I ran across my Mom's cookie jar the other day. She's not with us anymore and I'm wondering if I can or should use it and if so for what. Presumably it would be to keep cookies, but it's an old ceramic jar, not a glass jar with a hard seal and certainly not a vacuum sealing jar. So I'm betting...

    Magnetic Knife Bar

    Beware that Ceramic knives won't stick on magnetic bars Should go without saying, but it was a surprise to me when I tried to stick my Kyocera knife to the rack. :dry:
