Any Home Bakers Here?

The recipe said that it makes about 16 muffins. So when I first tried this recipe, I weighed the whole thing and divided by 16. Since then, I've been making mine approx. 70-90 grams each. I cut off a piece, weigh it (add or subtract dough 'til it's within that range). Then I shape it into a ball by turning it in my palm and bringing up the edges and pinching it in the middle. Quarter turn and do again. Repeat a couple times until it's a decent ball. I put the ball down on my board and pat it out. Then I use a 3 1/2-inch ring and cut out my muffin. I put it on a baking sheet with semolina sprinkled on parchment paper. It sits about 15 minutes, puffs up a little, and then I cook it on an electric griddle that's sprinkled with more semolina and set to about 400-degrees. I like getting a nice golden brown on both sides, and that way I know it's cooked on the inside too. If you want to take an internal temp, it should be about 200 degrees.

I figured today that it takes me about an hour to weigh, shape, and cook. I can fit 8-10 muffins at one time on my griddle.
I’ve been doing mine in a cast iron skillet. I roll out the dough and cut with a big coffee mug. I was using mason jar lid but they were a little too small. I’ve just got to back off a little in the rolling pin action. Aren’t they yummy though?
 
There is arsenic in many natural products such as apple seeds. There is also cyanide in stone fruit seeds. Don't eat them :)
Just makes home grown, home prepared even better for us.
Definitely do not eat them!

I do not eat green on potatoes and make sure to cook kidney beans well too

You're braver than me! I tried to make mine on a cast iron skillet, but I think I'm too anxious. I tend to put the heat up too high. I'm safer with the electric gadget as long as I keep my fingers off the heat control. A big coffee mug sounds like the perfect size. I have a bunch of the round cookie cutters of different sizes. I used them when I would make bowling cookes for the ladies league. LOL!
 
Duckling and I did a fruit (and vegetable) check today. The Red Delicious tree has 18+ apples this year (8 last year), her Roma plant has 8 tomatoes, and we found the rhubarb patch. I’m hoping no one messes with my property again, but I want to get a fence around the rhubarb anyway. I wish I knew if the patch could grow back again by fall.

If it doesn't come back in full by fall, it should still come back next spring.
