Any Home Bakers Here?

The recipe was odd for the shaping. I will find a better shaping method for next time. It did not get all the apples into it but it did taste very good!

The glaze is simple:
1 and a half cups of powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons of milk
1 tsp. of vanilla

Whisk together and adjust for thickness by adding the 4 tablespoon of milk if necessary. The trick is to put the glaze on while the fritters are hot

Ty Ron!

BTW if anyone is looking for pre 1976(ish) Vanilla I am your guy! My proximity to the Mexican border makes getting "real" vanilla real easy one liter costs like 2.50(US) but the post costs 15 dollars via priority mail. I am not selling a service here at all as it is a pita to drive up to Nuevo Progresso, but any bakers missing the old "real" vanillas before the synthetics came in....... I'm offering you some community service, plus I like looking at Talavera pottery.

That is a great offer!

I really want Talavery and tacky Mexicam bathrooms in the house. It just sucks the toilets are made for midgetts and not Teutons. My wife wants them too!

Just curious, what is different about the "old" vanilla? I make my own vanilla with vanilla beans and vodka. Just wondering.

The old vanilla used a carcinogenic nut apparently. It also lost tons of flavor with the new requlatory chances somewhere in the late 70's-early 80's.

The Yeast raised apple fritters are very good!
I need to work on the rolling up part though. I lost it there

Today was wax day for the cheddar cheese!

This is the picture of the wheel when it was drying:



I cut off the ridge at the top, cleaned it with a brine wash and then painted on a couple coats of wax:



I need to check it every couple of days now to make sure mold does not grow on it. It is supposed to be ok though because of the wax coating.

60 days to cheese!
