Orange-Cranberry Cake.
Rather than make the recipe as called for, I made two half-sized Bundt Cakes.
One for us now and one for the freezer.

Let me know when a house in your neighborhood goes up for sale, please!
Sorry Ginny, too late, I'm at the top of that list!

K'Girl, are you in Flagstaff? I lived in Tucson for 5 years, and went up there often. It's a great little college town!

i was going to sell them on facebook but thought better of spending another christmas in the kitchen. the oblong box was for xmas logs but they're too small.Sounds delicious and the boxes look very professional. Wish I was your neighbor
Well you certainly found a good use for those small boxes. Perfect.
Today, I got it into my head to make burger buns - the soft ones you put burgers in. Not sure why as baking with yeast is not a forte of mine. However, I had the ingredients to hand, plus a US recipe https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/233652/homemade-hamburger-buns/
I must be honest, I struggled with the mix of measures in this recipe! However, this is what I managed to produce. Not beautiful, but they did come out quite "pillowy" and without a crust on the top. My brother Ollie pronounced his burger "perfect"! (He is a good brother.)

They look GREAT Katy! I've never made buns. Every time someone posts about making them I say I will... and of course, never do.
Well done! Miss Katy!
Well done! Miss Katy!
Aw! Thanks Dragn!! I honestly never thought I would make them either. Every time I try to make anything with yeast, I end up with very tough exteriors that just wouldn't work with a burger, so I was a bit dubious. They were on their first prove when I had a ring on my front doorbell and it was my older brother - estranged for over 7 years - on my doorstep! The proving went on for much longer as a result and so I was even more dubious as I knocked it back and cut it onto 8 balls. It's a double Christmas miracle as far as I am concerned!
I think they are beautiful. But, I can see why you didn't consider their appearance to be perfect. Who cares? They puffed up beautifully. They didn't have a crust on top. Your brother is right. They are perfect, for the purpose.
Does anyone know how I should adapt that recipe to using a food processor instead of a stand mixer? Or even how to adapt it to kneading by hand?

I'm not sure that "adapt" is exactly what I would say...it is all about the feel of the dough, I think. See this LINK - the instructions say, "To make the dough: Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough."
Sorry I can't be of more help...

@Silversage no, this is Cowboyville Arizona, not them big cities!
We did move here from the greater Tucson area, after leaving Hawaii that is.
Which would I choose? Cowboyville!
Very quiet, nobody bothers nobody, not a whole lot here in the way of shopping, but that's why there's the internet!
And I say Cowboyville in a loving way, literally, it's all Ranching, Farming and then self-employed folks working from home.
Everyone is wearing sturdy boots, blue jeans, a good heavy shirt and then that cowboy hat/baseball cap of some sort.
LOVE IT!
Thanks. Wouldn't I have to pull the dough out of the food processor to feel it properly? I bought the food processor I have specifically because it is supposed to be good for kneading dough. It supposedly takes less time than by machine or by hand. That's part of why I was asking.
If anyone uses a food processor to knead dough, can you give me any tips?

This page has instructions for doing that. https://www.kitchenaid.com/pinch-of...s/how-to-knead-dough-in-a-food-processor.html
Thank you. That's the kind of info I was looking for. I have saved it as a "recipe" to Copy Me That, so it will be easy to find.
