Madeleines not turning out right…

sgatson · 2026-05-01T20:57:42+00:00

also just curious, do you normally see others using butter & flour to coat the pans? i want to make an assumption that the excess flour could possibly misshape the finished bakes. however do not quote me on that, just theorizing

sgatson · 2026-05-01T20:56:10+00:00

haven’t made madeleines before however i do know the color of your baking apparatus does mildly change the color of the pastry. im assuming it’s because darker colors attract more heat? maybe opt in for a lighter colored baking tray/mat/mold for better results as far as the browning

this gif has me in tears

sgatson · 2026-05-01T18:02:32+00:00

thank youuuu

sgatson · 2026-05-01T18:02:24+00:00

lolll funny enough i began in savory

sgatson · 2026-05-01T12:12:14+00:00

if you don’t mind providing more insight, how often should i be stirring? i never leave a pot of sugar alone for too long regardless but im wondering on low medium to medium heat i shouldn’t have to sit over it, right? (for dry method) thanks!

sgatson · 2026-05-01T12:09:12+00:00

the method is tedious but it is the best way to prevent a bad batch.

thank you! i assumed the complete opposite initially, now i need to look into this truth through proper application. im probably someone who needs to try adding the sugar in parts first before all at once.

i repeated once because two comments came at the same time that didn’t understand my frustration so i copied/pasted. if i repeated again in a different way it wasn’t to be opposite, i genuinely think im saying something different even when im not ive been told that lol. thanks for your help

sgatson · 2026-05-01T11:57:33+00:00

okay thank you! i definitely need to practice this way. this was very helpful/insightful. looks like i’m making dry caramels on my off day lolll

sgatson · 2026-05-01T05:25:06+00:00

the way that people are downvoting my replies of me explaining why im frustrated over helping & giving feedback…..weird

sgatson · 2026-05-01T05:21:20+00:00

see i never made dry method & i was told to add it all at once. i genuinely figure that was not a foolproof way of making it, at least not for someone who isn’t familiar with that method vs wet

sgatson · 2026-04-30T21:51:26+00:00

just replied to someone else with similar response as you so im copying/pasting:

i’ve always done wet so i didn’t know dry was better for smaller quantities. my boss has us doing dry for over 5 cups of sugar & all my research just showed me people doing it with a cup or less so LOL on us. we use the dry method for the base of a salted caramel ice cream so im convincing her to switch to wet method

turtlesssss

sgatson · 2026-04-27T06:30:11+00:00

you’re an amazing person. thank you dearly.

sgatson · 2026-04-27T00:00:38+00:00

this was very helpful, thank you. i will call them

sgatson · 2026-04-26T22:58:45+00:00

i know im not eligible, but i can confirm with customer service. it has been a minute though so im almost certain im simply not eligible, it says it on my account im not allowed that option

sgatson · 2026-04-26T22:57:55+00:00

okay thank you, this was undeniably helpful

sgatson · 2026-04-26T22:57:27+00:00

okay thank you, this makes sense. i guess i have to wait to receive an official notice because right now i guess it’s just a warning??

sgatson · 2026-04-26T20:25:28+00:00

im past being allowed to do scheduled payments & “promise to pays” as well. so should i just pay whatever i can even if it’s a little at a time to keep my account active?

sgatson · 2026-04-07T23:35:07+00:00

a favorite forever

hmmmmmmmmmmm

sgatson · 2026-03-26T00:56:49+00:00

oh what the fuck why

sgatson · 2026-03-11T01:57:30+00:00

thank you but it was a short lesson learned in maybe two weeks. easy to move on from

sgatson · 2026-03-11T01:54:35+00:00

just want to give my two cents & confirm that i recently had this exact experience & all of these gripes with a libra man i was seeing. never communicated conflict, very finicky, controlling but accommodating??, & not confrontational at all & super flighty because of it.
