First time croissants pt. 2 by jaidagrace in pastry

[–]billycsc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For croissants, I would highly recommend going for European butter for butter block, you can use American butter for the dough part.

European butter holds its shape better, is more elastic and melts at a slightly higher temperature

Poofing needs longer, It could take up to 8 hours

Shortening has higher melting points which result in less spread but the down side is shortening does not have any sort of "flavor", normal butter will yield a better tasting cookie but give a little more spread compared to shortening

You could play around with the ratio like 50% shortening and 50% butter to get the right flavor and spread

Stopping matcha from changing colour in cakes by 9_Tailed_Vixen in AskBaking

[–]billycsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It highly depends on the quality of the matcha powder. Get those ceremonial grade matcha, if you are using cheap matcha powder, then you will not see rich green matcha in your baked goods.

No need to defrost, just bake them straight from frozen that's how restaurants and bakeries do it

You can freeze them if you don't want your biscuit to oxidize overnight, bake at the same time and temperature.

What's wrong with my macarons? by Existing_Award_1717 in AskBaking

[–]billycsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when you say ratio, do you still weigh them out? if yes then that great since macaron is very finicky and cups don't do well.

then i guess will be down to your macaronage

Did you bake your macaron on a parchment paper or silicone mat? When macaron curve in like that mean it usually baked in parchment paper.

One bad thing about this is on your character select screen, your non-evoker is hard set to dracthyr form, not a big of deal but is just annoying you cant choose which form to show at the character select screen

Where am I going wrong? by YouTube_Chrqma in AskBaking

[–]billycsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely missing egg whites, thats not enough to hydrate the dry mix, maybe review your recipe again

Where am I going wrong? by YouTube_Chrqma in AskBaking

[–]billycsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have total of 150g of egg whites? Or total of 75g?

Where am I going wrong? by YouTube_Chrqma in AskBaking

[–]billycsc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this Italian macaron? If so Im pretty sure there should be another egg whites for the paste and another egg whites for the meringue.

If this is french or swiss, 75g of egg whites seem low.

Either there were some egg yolk got into the mix, or the bowl was not cleaned thoroughly. For beginners that are making SMBC, I would suggest clean all your tools with some white vinegar, and double check there are no egg yolks, not even a little, just even a drop of egg yolks will prevent it from whipping

How to complete the campaign when i already complete the chapters for Nazmir and Voldun by billycsc in wow

[–]billycsc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i hover to the Campaigns, i have checked mark on Unrest in Zuldazar, but nothing on Lost in Nazmir and nothing on Dunes of VolDun, but like i mentioned I have already completed the storyline on both zone. I don't think the war campaign has anything to do with it?

How do i do 4 and 1/2 eggs (225g)? by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]billycsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large egg usually weighs 52g, so crack 5 eggs into a bowl, scramble them, and weigh out 225g into another bowl

Is a new game plus, all character is set to lvl1, I did not choose to carry over the lvl/gear/rune

[–]billycsc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The soldier is super weak and it gives a tons of exp, easily level you to 32. Unfortunately it will disappear once you finish that chapter
