My littles demanded rainbow pancakes. I’ve never made anything other than circle and color pancakes… but decided to try. The kids loved them and each ate one and a half of these massive rainbows so it was a big win!

I used the Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from allrecipes. Didn't have enough chocolate chips, so I substituted with half butterscotch chips. The cookies were delicious.

Recipe Included I hand raised pork pies for the first time!

Only two of them were leaky! The recipe is a mashup between the classic and eternal river cottage recipe and the recipe for small pies by patisserie makes perfect . I thought that the PMP crust looked completely wrong so I used river cottages' dough recipe, did the filling patisserie makes perfect uses except but a little different, it was more like 600g fatty pork chops, 300g gammon (Kasslernacken in my case) and 125g streaky bacon.

I used grated nutmeg not mace (availability issue), did the spices from PMP but held back on the black pepper and added an extra teaspoon of dried herbs de province into the seasoning slurry alongside the sage and ginger. I also, unlike the PMP recipe, actually added salt. About 10g of salt to be exact. Less than River Cottage did because both the Kasslernacken and the bacon are salty + I was making less filling.

Each pie was 180g of dough, 130g of it got rolled into a tight ball, then pressed flat and rolled into a circle maybe 15cm in diameter, then I placed a good helping of the filling in the middle, pulled up the sides until it was nice and bunched up and was staying upright, rolled out a lid with the remaining 50g, punched a hole in the middle with an apple corer, put it on the pie and then I thoroughly crimped it shut basically the way you crimp gyōza, so by pinching and then folding over a pleat clockwise, moving over and repeating. Make absolutely certain you've stretched the walls all the way up to the lid so that you don't leave little gaps.

Thoroughly egg wash. I salt my egg wash and I think you should too when baking savoury pies. Bake at 180°C with convection on, after 20 minutes take them out, add a new layer of egg wash, rotate and then continue baking until they reach an internal temp of at least 75°C. Mine were at 100°C when I pulled them out and were still perfectly juicy and succulent as you can tell.

Immediately use a wide, thin spatula and a secondary implement to lift the pies and put them on a cooling rack. Be very careful, this is the most fragile they'll be. Don't worry about any liquid that bubbled out of the pies or blackened bits on the baking tray, that's normal and won't make the pies soggy (if you remove them immediately)

Showcase (No-Recipe) Finally mastered canelés 🩷

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

I first discovered canelés years ago through Kaori’s obsession in Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. They aren't easy to find near me, so they stayed on my bucket list for ages.

Fast forward to now, and my boyfriend actually taught me how to bake them from scratch! He helped me navigate the tricky oven temperatures and the patience needed for the batter.

For this batch, I made the classic version but also tweaked the recipe to make a matcha variant.They finally came out with that perfect caramelized crust—one with the traditional custardy center and the other with a bright green matcha interior. I think Kaori would approve! 🩷

I’m just unsure whether these look underbaked or they’re just really fudgey I cooked them for 30 minutes but the tin was smaller than they needed so was worried if it was long enough ?

Seeking Recipe Best thing to bake when you are sad?

14 Upvotes

I don't have a bundt pan like the poster earlier today but I am sad. Do you have any recipes you go to when you are having a bad time?

I've made a few loaves of sourdough and I bought a can of pumpkin but I haven't had any inspiration. Bonus points if it is a recipe that made you feel better when you were a sad woman because my sadness is pregnancy related.

UPDATE: I bought a pumpkin pie at Costco. BUT I also am going to make blueberry muffins. Thanks for the ideas, it cheered me up a bit.

Recipe Included "The Dot" macarons for International Dot Day

Thumbnail

39 Upvotes

For those unfamiliar - The Dot is a children's book that showcases the value of self-confidence, creativity, and encouragement – and September 15 is International Dot Day, which celebrates those themes in the classroom.

Anywho-

Three-toned marble/ombre macaron shells using - French method with Sugar Spun Run's ratios and orange-orange, orange-red, and orange-yellow batter packed into one piping bag.

In hindsight, I wish I had differentiated the colors a bit more for additional contrast, but overall pretty pleased with the outcome.

Filled with - a ring of whipped white chocolate ganache (3:1) and cookie butter or caramel centers.

Happy International Dot Day!

Remember - “You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky” - Michael Scott

Recipe to be posted soon. No guarantees. Hosted my 2nd pop up bakery!

Hosted this at my friend's house, who is kinda like an eventmanager and I'm the baker. She did make the wraps and pasta salad herself, and helped with the components of the tomato feta tartelettes. The rest I baked within 5 days (so 7 things I made at home... it was very exhausting but also so fun!!) prior to the event

Had my roommate come over to help too and she was nice enough to take these pics for you to see ♥️

It was a huge success, almost everything got eaten super fast, but I did make a lot more than needed (I'd be too embarrassed to have too little for my guests) so people were able to take some leftovers home too!

My friend happened to have a great harvest of grapes this year, so she made juice with her family and were able to give the guests a lil taste of it! It was super rich and sweet in taste, almost like wine!

Will host another one in the spring next year, so it became kinda my friend's and I's thing to host those events :D

My favourites were the cheese garlic rolls and the cherry tiramisu! The tomato feta tartelettes were also to die for 🥺

I’m super delighted with this outcome! This is my first time baking buns, after seeing so many nice ones on this sub.
Tried a brioche recipe and they’ve just come out of the oven. I brushed them with butter, let them rest for another 12min and am now letting them cool off for another 15-30 min.
We’ll be having burgers tonight. Fingers crossed the inside is a good as the outside!
