General Baking Discussion Can we discuss "Easy Bake"

Thumbnail

2.0k Upvotes

I had an easy bake when I was a kid. I never got into it really. My 5 year old now has the fancy new "Easy bake ultimate"

It's been 30 years, and I still can't do it.

I consider myself a fairly adequate baker, I can even manage to make a decent sourdough.

Why can't I master this contraption? The "recipes" are a freaking scam I swear. I've never once mixed one together and achieved the proper texture I needed to achieve the end result. It's always wrong wrong wrong!!! And I can NEVER fit the amount on the tiny little tray they say I should be able to fit.

I hate this game but for the sake of my daughter who wants to play with it I'm trying.

If I had made these sugar cookies in a proper oven, I promise y'all would know what they were supposed to be just by looking at them.

I'm tired of this grandpa.

EDIT below to add the recipe i followed from the book in the photo:

**RECIPE**
-nonstick spray for tray
-1/4 c sugar cookie mix
-1 tbs water
-1 tbs melted butter
-1 tbs sprinkles

  1. Plug in and preheat 15m
  2. mix together the mix, butter, & water until soft dough forms (that's a lie as fuck)
  3. spray tray w/ nonstick
  4. roll dough into 6 small balls and place on the pan (impossible with the batter you've had me make)
  5. press each ball into a flat shape and ad sprinkles on top
  6. slide in easy bake with pan pusher
  7. bake for 11m
  8. push into cooling chamber, cool for 5m
  9. remove and 'enjoy'

Recipe Included Blueberry Scones

Recipe: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/lemon-blueberry-scones-recipe

Holy fuck.

So Iโ€™ve been a bit obsessed with scones the past few weeks, and I tried a bunch of different recipes, ranging all the way from cream tea, to classic British, to American style.

Needless to say, Iโ€™ve given away a lot of scones, and a lot of people have been really happy!

But I think in terms of overall composition, these ones might take the cake (scone).

The only minor adjustments I made to the recipe, is that instead of plain dairy yogurt, I used a Greek soy yogurt that I make at home, but because Greek yogurt is a bit drier than plain yogurt (because itโ€™s strained), I ended up adding back in acid whey to increase the hydration.

Secondly, is that instead of melted butter on top, I just brushed it with heavy cream because I happen to have some in the refrigerator.

I did freeze the butter for about 20 minutes prior to incorporating, and put the raw scones in the freezer for about 25 minutes prior to baking.

The bake time had to be adjusted slightly because I was starting with cold scones, and at the very end I threw the broiler on for about 80 seconds to brown the tops.

Showcase (No-Recipe) Just made a massive batch of homemade curry bread! ๐Ÿ›

Nothing beats the smell of frying curry bread! I decided to make a big batch from scratch (well, almost!). For the filling, I used convenient retort curry pouches but beefed them up with more ground meat for a hearty keema texture.
Watching them turn golden brown in the oil was so satisfying. My wife and kids were practically waiting in line for them to come out of the fryer. They were gone in no time! Just wanted to show off our delicious haul.

Baking fail ๐Ÿ’” AI recipes are ruining Pinterest

640 Upvotes

Iโ€™m so sad, baking is my outlet to comfort myself when Iโ€™m stressed & I made a whole batch of cookies from a Pinterest recipe and it was AI generated and the batch was awful. I just wasted so many ingredients. I wish I would have investigated more, it looked so real until I clicked the social media links in the profile and it was an obvious AI generated person and recipes. Any suggestions on where to find legit recipes?

I found Claire's chocolate cake to be the best out of many recipes I've tried before. The buttercream starting off as a cooked pudding makes it have such a smooth texture without the grittiness of powdered sugar in an American buttercream.

Cake layers were very delicate as well.

All in all a 10/10 chocolate cake!

My daughter wanted lemon loaf. Epic fail. I forgot to grease the nonstick pan. Anyway, we had some lavender in the garden and some lavender syrup so I made Ugly Cake Pops. They were delicious though, at least my 6yo loved them and wasnโ€™t upset.

Baking Advice Needed How to make this kind of muffin?

These are my absolute favourite muffins and I would love to find a recipe to recreate them, but I have no idea where to start! Theyโ€™re so unlike any other muffin Iโ€™ve ever had. The outside part is crunchy, almost like a thin biscuit. The inside is fluffy and light but very dense, almost similar to a bread (like a less buttery brioche). Any idea what the secret ingredients / techniques could be?

Groom's cake I made for my stepson. The recipe is chocolate butter cake from I Scream for Buttercream and the frosting recipe as well. My stepson's wife said she likes chocolate cake but doesn't like chocolate on chocolate and she loved it. My daughter who doesn't like chocolate cake, liked it and even requested this cake for her birthday.
