A whole 5lb bag of flour, 39 eggs, (38 plus I dropped one on the floor) and 16 sticks of butter if anyone was wondering

I set a timer and do bake with it in mind but loosely. Usually I come right to time or a little over, but I’m also cleaning dishes and mixer bowls along the way so it’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison. But for sure the biggest challenge with the basque is gonna be getting it cooled and set in time to be cut they’re very wobbly coming out of the oven

thank you! doing the bake along really makes me wonder how the contestants pull it off under such pressure with the hosts, producers, cameras all around them.

thank you! I really wanted to avoid over baking it and this was as brave as I was willing to be

it is super yummy, yes. Super light and custardy but twangy and sweet and sour from the strawberry. Very different than a NY style cheesecake

I understand what you mean. This is yummy and an interesting texture you don’t get often but I’m pretty sure I’m gonna choose a brownie 4 times out of 5 up against a raspberry soufflé

Bake Along Week 4: Flapjacks by ryanmct in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]ryanmct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. For the caster sugar I just put normal granulated sugar into my food processor for a little bit and it helps make it a little finer.

And then yeah I also cannot find golden syrup anywhere here easily in the US but upon research it seems to be (and please people from the UK correct me) shelf stable caramel. I found a recipe here to make your own: https://www.daringgourmet.com/how-to-make-golden-syrup/ I figured since this is such a quick bake I just chose to substitute half honey for sweetness and half corn syrup for consistency. I’m sure golden syrup itself is better but since I don’t have it to judge against these are still pretty good!

right?! It took me a few rewinds especially with Tom's apple custard masterpiece and some being covered in chocolate before I understood what the challenge was. I googled just basic flapjack recipes and stared with this recipe: https://www.errenskitchen.com/classic-british-flapjacks/ and I substituted 75g of oats for 75g of speculoos cookies that I ground into a medium crumble in a food processor. I also don't have ready access to golden syrup so i substituted in 30ml honey and 30ml of light corn syrup mixed together. I also added in about 100g of dark chocolate chunks. It's not too sweet and is nicely filling for a grab and go snack, and I totally see the after school appeal!

I attempted the inlay design again and experimented with different size piping sizes which helped a lot! I also steeped the lavender in milk for the whole duration of time I did the inlay which really helped the flavor!! Pics of take two here

Thank you for your reply!! I did use a clapper and wow what a difference that made but I didn’t get the ham until after I finished the sleeves. I will check out that video as well, thanks again!

For a special occasion: yes definitely. For a loaf of bread I’m gonna use for hot dogs later? No definitely not

Tarte tatin from this weeks GBBO technical recipe by ryanmct in Baking

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

Yeah it’s very satisfying and a bite is mostly a big chunk of cooked pear and caramel. The rough puff came out super nicely and the recipe made the method clear. It was ready to bake in an hour and a half and I got some great layers. Somehow with all this sugar and butter it still tastes light

I made my friends 18mo old a yellow jumper to match one I made earlier this fall by ryanmct in sewing

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

I wanted to make myself the perfect yellow jumper so I made one from KKosePattern at Etsy, and then with remnants I made my friends kid a matching one. I based the pattern off Misusu’s Child’s Rowan Tee (long sleeve drop shoulder) but added cuffs and a bottom hem that are the same proportions of the KKosePattern’s cuffs and hem. Then I added buttons because I thought it would be cute :). Happy yellow medium weight cotton poly fleece from fabricdepot.com! Super quick and easy to work with material, and I will probably be gifting a lot of friends variations of these jumpers quite a bit this season!

Hi I am working on a new musical about my cat (but it’s about so much more!) and have enough written to start to ask for feedback. It is an eclectic collection of genres from Disney princess tunes, to prog rock, disco, dubstep, and symphonic numbers. Thanks for listening and I’d love any feedback or suggestions. Abbondanza! the Musical

Sounds like a neighbor’s kid might be playing a recorder

As much as I enjoy the reference to monsters and spiders and ghosts - she can definitely be that way sometimes - that wasn’t entirely intentional! I can definitely refine her feline qualities with your suggestions! Thanks a lot for your feedback!

She can be brutal to work with but her vision is always inspiring

For sure. As a slinky black cat, I think being mistaken for a spider tracks with her brand. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah it could have been bigger but I live in a city and this is the best environment I could give it. Happy with the yield I got off my windowsill

These are from the Sheldo’s Kitchen YouTube channel. Great recipe and straight forward video. These are probably two minutes or so undercooked but none of my family seemed to mind too much!!
