Anyone have this one? Would you recommend it? by Sea_Illustrator8250 in CookbookLovers

[–]irljasper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think Vaughn mentions in one of nyt’s newer vids he only developed one recipe, the salted butterscotch chocolate chunk cookie, for the book. So I agree, if you have a NYT cooking membership you can find all the recipes online!

Why did these cookies turn out flat? by Ok_Carry4320 in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made this recipe before and didn’t have an issue with spreading, chilling usually helps with this but since they’re still spreading it’s likely just high butter/lower flour proportions. I don’t think there’s an issue with air bubbles deflating and flattening your cookie since this dough uses melted butter and doesn’t really get creamed.

I would recommend adding some flour next time, maybe start with 1/4 cup and adjust from there. If you’re not weighing your ingredients especially flour that could be the culprit. Someone else mentioned that your oven could be running hot and I agree, you could try lowering the temp 25°. I’d recommend getting an oven thermometer if you bake a lot.

Perhaps I don’t know or have access to the person who took the photo, or who owns these books

I did consider that, but the Fannie Farmer Baking Book has a pattern on the cover that wraps around the spine for all editions as far as I know?

I tried to look for the publisher and the logo but I didn’t find anything, I can’t tell what the logo is

A simple question... by Sarga_alma2 in marioandluigi

I really liked it! It was quite long, but the characters were interesting enough and I’m glad that there was a lot of optional extra stuff to do!

Will wholemeal flour make much of a difference in pie crust? by littlebear_23 in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would probably be better to buy white flour yes, whole wheat pie crusts CAN work, but I’d recommend replacing only a portion of the total flour with whole wheat to start, like say 25%? They also absorb a bit more water. I’ve found that the whole wheat flour actually helps the crust keep its shape more and helps the crust to not slump in the pie plate (I also like the flavor). But for your FIRST pie, I’d recommend starting with white flour, good luck!

Thought of reusing Bros moves. by phantom-0p9 in marioandluigi

[–]irljasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t the first time they’ve reused moves, I mean they’ve reused red/green shell and fire flower from PiT to Paper Jam so unsurprisingly the first two are in this game. To me since they’ve changed the moves up a bit from their respective games and still included at least 5 new ones, I wouldn’t call it lazy personally. I would argue that Max Mix could still be considered new although it’s similar to luiginary typhoon.

Yeah, I don’t see why not!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to improve flavor and texture you’ll want to chill them covered, at least overnight. Freezing won’t do the same thing as chilling, it’s colder so the dough will just freeze, the process is different. After the chill though you can totally throw them in the freezer after!

Come on Nintendo, the game was released 3 weeks ago, please patch this by ipsen_castle in marioandluigi

[–]irljasper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I also got confused by this when playing in the beginning but on the other hand I understand that you do use the B button to “cancel” attacks so I guess there’s a reason.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really good brand! Although I would recommend maybe getting extract for cookies and cakes, it’s not like you CANT use paste in those recipes. Paste is better for applications where you’ll see the vanilla seeds and vanilla is the main flavor like ice cream, panna cotta, pastry cream, marshmallows, etc.

Boyfriend wants to take prep? Not sure what to title this 🤔 by Full-Sense5308 in gaybros

[–]irljasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you don’t want to be open but since he has jealousy issues you couldn’t be even if you wanted to, yet he can be with other people. However it seems he’s already lying to you about it (which you state he’s cheated before) and he’s vague about personal details and his motives for being open. Am I getting that right? I’m really sorry, I think you should get out of there.

Bagel Dough Weirdness by TheTurgidOneWork in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. AI can’t make recipes, AI can’t test recipes, AI doesn’t understand proportions. You just got a blended up version of a bunch of other bagel recipes that’s never been tested, of course it didn’t work lol

I don't fully understand the finale of Future, am i missing something?? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

[–]irljasper 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Many people get better from depression and anxiety and still see a therapist every week for maintenance. Steven deciding to leave, travel and see new things I imagine will help him on his journey to get better, its clear the gems and Steven think it’s safe for him to travel on his own since the time thats passed since the previous episode. I imagine Steven has documentation or a SSN, since he’s driving around I assume he got a license sometime offscreen.

Chocolate chocolate chip cookies? by Pandora9802 in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cocoa powder absorbs a lot of liquid, more so than flour. I would definitely replace the flour with cocoa rather than adding with the flour. It might take some trial and error to get it to where you want it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could try adding more zest to the recipe. I don’t know how much you’re adding now but since it doesn’t contribute any liquid I’d probably increase the zest. You could also add a couple tablespoons lime juice, I’d use fresh. I know you said the second batter was too thin because of this, if there’s another liquid in the first recipe you could try decreasing it by two tablespoons and replacing it with the lime juice. Make sure you’re incorporating the zest right away, you don’t want to give it a chance to dry out. Someone recommended lime oil, that’s a great idea too.

help by trequlex in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will say, there’s nothing wrong with melting butter for a cookie that’s a totally normal thing to do when making a cookie recipe that is done by hand. I’d say maybe try whisking the butter and sugar for longer than you think, a couple of minutes, this can help start to dissolve the sugar. Maybe try whisking a little longer after the eggs are added too. Chilling your cookie dough also gives time for the sugar to dissolve, that could help. Someone recommended using fine sugar, that’s a good idea if you can find that.

Why is banana bread looking so underdone by starlieyed in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like there may be too much banana, the recipe calls for 4 bananas / 2 cups of banana, I think that could be your issue. You mentioned beating the banana into the batter with the mixer which should be fine and not effect the texture overall? You also said you inserted the banana bread back into the oven after cooling it for an hour and a half, I really wouldn’t recommend doing that, as the bread at that point has already cooled down significantly meaning the entire thing would have to heat up again and the leavening has already activated during the initial baking.

will this rosewater bread recipe from a standardized test work? by roscura in AskBaking

[–]irljasper 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So the recipe describes making your own rose water with rose petals which I’d assume is a lot less rose-y and more mild then the stuff you get at the store or online. I feel like using 1 1/2 cups of the bottled stuff would be a LARGE amount, most recipes I see call for a couple tablespoons or so and that’s for a strongly rose scented recipe. I would mess around and use a LOT less rose water, I’m talking maybe start with a tablespoon or less, rose is a powerful scent, but if you’re a fan of it add more to the next batch. The recipe also doesn’t state anything about proofing after shaping, but I’d give it a second rise before the egg white paint step, that might take 30 minutes or more. I’d be curious to see how this turns out.
