bdspider Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Ok, I *think* my buns turned out ok... But now my nose is stuffed and it hurts to swallow. Damn cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 while we are on the topic of chocolate stuff, my chocolate cinnamon muffins with caramel easter eggs inside are ready! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Ta dah... Had a slight problem with the tea towel on the top getting too attached to the buns whilst proving, hence the weird tops - any excuse for the kids to try and disguise them with things other than crosses to hide the mess!

Southerrrngirrl Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Looking good but chocolate + bread = wrong. I'm a raisin & currant hot cross bun girl myself. But NOT with peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 They aren't too bad, but would prefer a good spicy bun with currants or sultanas, and NOT peel either - yeetchhhh.... And don't even mention marmalade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 why didn't you just make a chocolate cake with white crosses on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsurfs Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 you people are killing me with all this baking & foodfest! *drools* Ironically I am making cornbread tomorrow too! ....Had some great swordfish tacos with homemade corn tortillas, jalapeno salsa and chipotle sour cream tonight. Mmmmmm Anyway, I have a cornbread recipe that is absolute heaven, crispy buttery edges. Just add lashings of butter and a dollop of honey if you are so inclined. it goes amazingly well with the white bean and bacon Cowboy Stew I am making tomorrow...... what are you using to make corn tortillas?! no better good nuttycorny taste than a fresh corn tortilla. mmmm. Not good, not good at all. Yesterday I went to the store and asked where the corn starch was because I needed it to thicken an asian sauce...nobody could find it, then I found an Edmonds box that said 'corn flour' and I can assure you, it was corn starch, not corn meal. Now there are two totally different products out there with the name of corn flour... LOL, have you tried finding corn syrup?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 There's a thread or 2 on another forum I visit that drive me crazy, one lady made a different style/flavour cupcake everyday for 2 weeks. Another is just a generic "post yummy things you've made". Pity I'm lazy and unmotivated when it comes to cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I just like to post pics of food to upset Wok, especially when I know he is too busy at work to be going home and making yummy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southerrrngirrl Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Did someone say cupcakes?!? I have a total obsession with cupcakes at the moment. Remind me when I get home to post a pic of the 32 cupcakes I made for hubby's 32nd birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 what are you using to make corn tortillas?! no better good nuttycorny taste than a fresh corn tortilla. mmmm. Real masa harina that I get from Aji, a gourmet store in Chch (although I see that they sell in in my local New World now.) LOL, have you tried finding corn syrup?! Yes. :evil: Grumble, grumble....makes it really hard when I want to make homemade toffee or marshmallows. Glucose syrup just doesn't cut it al all. I think I will make carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Don't make me pout Ira. Last time I went to the states I brought back a dozen bars of Ivory soap and a big can of Crisco (MAF thought I was nuts). :roll: Next time I go I am bringing back some Karo syrup...oh, and more pumpkin pie spice!

Caryl Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 You have spice just for pumpkin pie??? I tried to make a pumpkin pie once but it tasted terrible. Perhaps I used the wrong sort of pumpkin or it was the lack of special spice :roll: When my daughter was in the US we had to send her Weetbix and custard powder :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 LOL, isn't that always the way. I have missed things that I never liked when I lived there. Go figure. :roll: I have the most brilliant recipe for pumpkin pie. It is an old family recipe - best pumpkin pie in the world, hands down. It doesn't actually require special spice but good quality spices in the right proportion. Most of the spices you get in the store are just old dried out and really are not that great. Hey....it is about that time of year for pumpkin pie now! mmmmmmm :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Must try pumpkin pie one day. I love pumpkin. Mmmm. Cupcakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Nice looking cup cakes! So, can we expect a pumpkin pie at conference this year???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 That would be a few pies! Yes, I must make one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 That would be a few pies! Yes, I must make one though. Can you send me one? I miss them And I'm Canadian which is pretty much American when it comes to pies.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
