Soap Makers Help!

wonderful eggnog recipe!

The one my Grammy taught me was basically the same, only a bit less fussy. She was a "tad of this", a "pinch of that" sort of cook and the recipe reflects it.

Separate yolks from whites. (how many depends on how small or large a batch you want to make)

Beat egg yolks well.
Add powdered sugar to the egg yolks until you can hold the bowl upside down and nothing moves.

Beat egg whites to a stiff peak forms.

Slowly, gently fold whites into yolk mixture.

Store in fridge until ready to use

When ready to serve, scoop a generous scoup of egg mixture into mug. Add hot water or warm milk and stir. Adults get bourban, rye or rum in their mugs. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

OK I went to the bank and put my money in there and ordered the mold woohoo!!!! I can't wait till I get my tracking number lol. I'll be stalking it one its way here

I was looking on their site and saw that you can design your mold. I thought that was really cool. I might think about that someday but not any time soon lol. I'll be registering my business with the state on DH's next pay day.

This is great! For the first time in a month or so I have over a hundred bars curing right now. I know for some of you that isn't a lot lol but to me it is great. I'm finally getting a rhythm to all of my soaping insanity lol. How do any of you have room for all your soaps? I'm going to have do some rearranging after my next batch goes onto the shelving that I am using. Time fix up my other shelves that I have finished soap being stored on.

I stack the soaps on top of each other for about a month, then package them and take them to the indoor Farmer's Market.

Rebecca,
Do you have a recipe all lined up? If so, let us take a look at it real quick to run through a lye calculator before you begin.

I know you told me you were getting your SB & bowls.

Do you have a Digital Scale?? Very important to use a digital scale, especially if making a small batch of soap.

 

[AK_Button_Mama]

I do have a digi scale and I used a basic recipe calle dbasic white soap. and it worked!!! I really thought the lye would react diferently.... I added it really slow and it heated up but no real violent reaction occured.. I saw bubbling but really tiny...... trace took about 10 minutes with the stick blender... I poured the finished soap into a baking pan lined with parchment paper..... and set it some place draft free... I will post the recipe I have on here!!!
