Any Home Bakers Here?

I just bought a „sun glas“. It is a solar powered light, which can also be powered by usb, it will come in very handy if there is a power outage, we didn’t have power outage many years ago, but now we have had 2 major ones within a few years, since I lived in Canada, I am used to them ( during the winter) but it was almost (!) funny how panicked the Germans reacted, when they didn’t have any power, interestingly, they all started TALKING to each other again

I live in an area that is often hit by hurricanes. We keep battery, solar, and crank flashlights available. I also have several external batteries for charging a phone, one with solar recharging ability. Those I keep charged up. It just makes sense to be prepared.

Short answer:
Bisquick biscuits + one orange’s worth of orange zest (about a teaspoon) in the dough, bake like the box tells you to. Once they’re cool frost with buttercream which has an orange’s worth of orange zest added to it. Serve.

Long answer (for easier reference or in case Bisquick ever omits or changes their biscuit recipe):

Scones -
2 cups Original Bisquick Baking Mix
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon orange zest

Stir together until soft dough forms.
Drop dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

If you make them Panera-bakery-sized, one batch will make about four scones. They freeze well, although full disclosure I’ve only frozen them unfrosted.

Frosting -
NOTE: This makes enough frosting for several batches of scones.

4 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter (melted)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of orange zest

Mix until well blended.

Thanks for the recipe!

Made some lemon jello cake loaves today. I think I needed to let them cool a little longer or else cook them a bit more as they dipped in the middle when I poured the frosting on.

I guess that means I have to make them more often to get more practice.

I think it just needed more time to cool than I gave it, because the goopy section is on top rather than in the center.

The exchange students finished school, and they’re gonna be going home soon. Fortunately, I got a recipe off of one of them to share.

This is a Kazakhstan recipe. The way it’s pronounced may sound suggestive, but I can assure it is not meant to be that way, and it is delicious.

It’s called Baursak.

I’m going to attempt to make this recipe today, if it is successful, I will post the recipe.

I say “if it is successful,“ because she didn’t have exact measurements. She always did it by feel.

I will update later.

In all honesty, we don’t know yet.
