Any Home Bakers Here?

My grandmother was famous for giving things the wrong name. She was a decent cook, but not much at remembering what things are called. She told us Punchkas were simply fried bread dough. It is actually a polish doughnut - usually topped with fruit. So, both deep fried dough I guess. I really like her version better - split open and filled with jam.

I love this!

I baked buttermilk yeast bread and apple crisp yesterday for us. I also froze 4 apple pies, 4 angel foods and 21 mini apple crisp for our fall bizarre at church. It’s the same day as my sisters wedding so not sure how that will all work since I’m doing her cake and cupcakes.

Hey Ron. I'm looking for a good brownie recipe & just printed out your 'Toms Brownies' from way back in the thread. Is this your preferred recipe or how you still make them?

You have been very busy!

And my back feels it today. Sunday we hauled 2 big containers of wood into the basement so that didn’t help matters.

The Toms recipe is amazing!

Can you tell I Love brownies! I do not use a mix ever. They are too simple to make to justify a mix

I had a baking day a couple of Sunday's ago. It was hard on the back...along with the rest of the weekend jobs!

It is worth it to pop a baked good out of the freezer though

Debby, Post six of that same thread is another recipe and method I've used for Spaetzle Still haven't decided which I like better. Both are a pain, but the results are worth it.

This winter I'm going to attempt to do some other nationalities recipes. So far I have the German ones we've talked about today, a couple of Scottish ones and Irish. And of course, some new desserts!

If this winter is going to be as bad as the old-timers are saying, I'll have plenty of home time and DH won't have to work so much.

Thanks for your input on the German recipes Bob, I'm looking forward to giving them a try.

Take care of yourself DMC. You have to save your back for baking
