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”

Swedish Meatballs
This is a “before I make it” post because I want to extract the recipe from the video and make sure I have everything. As long as I need to write it down, I may as well write it down here. Thankfully, it’s there in the description for my copy/pasting convenience. Swedish MeatballsFrom: Sip AndContinue reading “Swedish Meatballs”
Irish Potato Candy
It’s neither Irish nor Potato. I stumbled across this recipe years ago. For whatever reason, there has been a photocopy of some newspaper/magazine recipe for it in my recipe folder (a physical folder, not a computer folder). I finally threw it out a few months back. Then I’m asked to bring something potato-y to aContinue reading “Irish Potato Candy”
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”
Danish Update
Speaking of late posts, the danish saga is four batches behind! I’ve been experimenting with the original recipe from #42. I was in a hurry, so I did it without all the resting steps. They turned out fine – although I did let them sit ready-to-bake overnight in the refrigerator. I had left-over lemon curdContinue reading “Danish Update”

Petit Fours I thought that “four” was the number of faces (people always forget cubes have six faces) and that I was making petit ones because mine were round. It turns out, “four” is the French word for “oven”. These are just very small layer cakes. I used Sugar Spun Run’s recipe. They turned outContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – XLVIII”
Raspberry Torte
It doesn’t fit the “Learning 2 Bake” category because it’s not baked. I made it for a “Family Traditions” potluck, tonight. It’s my grandmother’s recipe that mom frequently made.

Chicken Pot Pie The Laird bought some frozen pot pies and I thought to myself, I thought, “I can do that.” First step: Pot Pie pans. I bought the 4-inch aluminum ones because they only had three in stainless steel and I wanted four. I ran them through the dishwasher, first thing, to see ifContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – XLVII”

Trifle I have a trifle dish that I’ve never used for trifle. I’ve made seven-layer salad in it twice in ten years. I decided it was time. It’s significantly more work than I expected. It took about three hours. I used the Oreo Cake white layer for the cake. The rest of the recipe wasContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake from Scratch – XLVI”
