Paprika Peach Pie – Take 2 Much improved. It could still be better. The taste went from peach to tasty peach. I cannot taste the paprika (or all-spice or ginger), but it’s clear there are spices in this one. The filling change was just as I described: Mix the peaches in salt and sugar, letContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LIV”

Costing Bread
While at the Farmer’s Market last weekend (to buy peaches for another pie attempt), I noticed that a loaf of bread was $7. Earlier I had noticed that grocery store bread was also expensive. I wondered to myself, I wondered, “what does my bread cost?” I put most of the bread ingredients on the shoppingContinue reading “Costing Bread”

Paprika Peach Pie It’s getting difficult to keep track of the Roman Numerals; they don’t sensibly sort in the File Explorer. I think 53 is right. I also noticed that I did 50 as XLX. Oh well. No recipe this time. It’s from The Four & Twenty Blackbird’s Pie cookbook. I see no reason notContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LIII”

Not Oreos I had two events (dance party and Toastmasters) to bring something to and I’d promised my dance instructor cookies, next time I made them. Hence, cookies. I like not-Oreos. Any resemblance to a trademarked cookie is purely coincidental. Because I make them softer than the cookie that shall not be named, I wasContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LII”

Crust vs Crust This one doesn’t get a number because it’s analysis, not baking. I posted my pie crust recipe in the Chess Pie post. The “new” recipe is from The Four & Twenty Blackbird’s Pie Book, which is a present from the crochet group. Considering that they are a well-known bakery, it seems unlikelyContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch”

Coconut Cream Pie This pie served two purposes: Another test of the new crust recipe and getting rid of leftover coconut. Well, three purposes, I suppose: It also got eaten. The first crust attempt was for the Malted Chocolate Pecan Pie. It was not good. For this attempt, I used shredded rather than cubed butter,Continue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – LI”

Malted Chocolate Pecan Pie It snowed today. I don’t mind snow, but when it wasn’t snowing, it was cloudy and gloomy. On a Sunday, that says “bake something”. I’m not sure what it means that the crochet group gave me a pie cookbook. It could be positive, in that they would like more pies. ItContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – L”
Leftovers
The Chess Pie resulted in much leftover fondant. What does one do with extra fondant? Why make not-Oreos, of course. I swear I have a blog post about that, already, but I don’t see it now and I’m supposed to be working, so this needs to be fast. A friend is having a birthday partyContinue reading “Leftovers”

Chess Pie I asked the crochet group what sort of pie they wanted for Pi Day. They said “chess”. The picture is the ingredients for the chess part. I used the recipe from The Pioneer Woman for the “chess” part. I used my pie crust recipe. Because I want a copy/paste version with multiple sizesContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch XLIX”
