A big thank you to this group for helping me up my baking game. 💜 We hosted 10 people for a brunch this weekend (something we used to do nearly every weekend for smaller groups) and I made these from Nora Cooks after seeing someone here post them.
I quickly snapped this pic and forgot to get a glammer shot. They looked better after the icing melted a bit.
Anyway, there are definitely more brunches and more cinnamon rolls in my future!
People in the US hear flapjacks and they think pancakes (at least I do!). But these are the UK version that are oat bars. I was introduced to these when my Airbnb host in Scotland left some out for me.
They are dense and high in calories but I pop them in the freezer to slow down my eating pace!
This is from Girl vs. Dough. I bake in a 6qt Dutch oven, as instructed. But it tends to flatten out too much. Considering getting a 4qt. Anyone have suggestions for helping keep its shape?
I’m super happy with how these turned out! The recipe is from Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen. I followed her instructions for making self rising flour and that made all the difference. (My previous attempts at these fell flat, pun intended. 🤣) I also added a handful of finely shredded coconut (which then required a little extra liquid). I will never buy another scone again!
I did a test run of a carrot cake this weekend in preparation for my hubby’s birthday in two weeks. The cake was delicious, the frosting was a fail! I used @@theyummyvegan recipe with violife vegan cream cheese and earth balance butter but it was so watery! I tried to bulk it up with more powdered sugar and corn starch, to no avail. Also…lumps! What did I do wrong?
