Soylent Brown Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Okay, finished work for the Christmas break and first batch of cheese scones made, so today is a good day. I resisted the urge to eat any while they were at the stage where doing so would have hurt me more than it would have hurt them, and can confirm that they're great and that I'm going to be eating far too many scones in the next couple of days.

I belong to a Keto diet group on Facebook, and some people post amazing recipes in their Food group. I have not made any of them yet because I have found the road to hell is paved with sweets, but one young fellow posts such amazing things I've been saving all his recipes. Sam Briden is his name, and he's a 20s-something guy who got into baking in his teens and finally quit his job to concentrate on baking as a career. He also published a nice little cookbook which I ordered the other day. I'll try making some of them and will report back with comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wondering about posting a very simple recipe for a Dutch version of shortbread. All it requires is 250 grams of butter, sugar and flour and 1 egg. Mix the first 3 with the egg white, pat down and brush the yolk on top, in a 9" square pan and bake at 450 F for about 15 minutes. Cut it into squares while warm and then chill.

I prefer a savoury, cheesy scone, but you cant have clotted cream on them, so I'm often conflicted about what to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkess Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Damn, now I want scones. I've only ever made sweet scones (and I'm American, so I usually make the triangle ones), but those cheese ones look pretty tasty. Almost as good as a biscuit =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 These are delicious savory scones care of Thomas Keller/Bouchon Bakery Cookbook. I've made them for potluck brunches and they are very good. https://authenticsuburbangourmet.blogspot.com/2013/07/bouchon-bakery-bacon-cheddar-scones.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anti-Targ Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Gluten free, keto-ish, chocolate-raspberry, no-bake cheesecake. It actually tastes great...it's chocolate after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't want to do all the conversions over the weekend so I made pumpkin bars instead. They have a cream cheese icing on them and they're addictive. I made a huge pot of chicken soup to carry to sick relatives and added the pumpkin bars and some sandwiches to the tray we took to them. They were thrilled and I had enough to keep a 1/2 dozen for us. But my thoughts keep drifting back to cheese scones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have DIY kits for sugar cookies and gingerbread men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlle. Zabzie Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 We are making gingerbread during the blizzard. I acquired the necessary molasses. This was harder than you would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mance Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Just made a batch of standard Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough, with added 1 teaspoon cinnamon and mashed frozen banana. Also implementing high altitude adjustments (Taos, NM -7000ft elevation). It's delicious. May make cookies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady narcissa Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I am not baking. I do not enjoy baking. But I am eating lots of gingerbread this week! I normally buy all my gingerbread at the Christmas market here but that was of course cancelled this year. But I tracked down the brand in Germany and ordered far enough in advance that I got it on time. The challenge will be trying to ration it out over the next week and not eat it all in the next few days! I also plan to not bake but eat a delicious Yule Log on Christmas which will be baked by a local Belgian bakery. I am very excited for that.

Starkess Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Mmm I made my gingerbread cookies this weekend and have been enjoying them a bit too much. I use https://www.browneyedbaker.com/gingerbread-men-cookies/ because I looove my gingerbread chewy. I usually add in some fresh or dried ginger as well because I like lots of gingery-ness. Yum. Tomorrow I am making cranberry orange muffins, a tradition my mom used to do every Christmas. Was going to make them tonight but time ran away with me. Oops.

When you say gingerbread do you mean the biscuits/cookies (of the run run run as fast as you can variety) or the cake? I like both but the cake is my favourite, especially drizzled with a lemon icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
