Carolyn, my speculation is that you need to allow the sponge to double in size to keep the cake from being too heavy. The yeast needs to leaven...
Carolyn, I'm happy to post the Gugelhupf recipe, which I bake in a regular Bundt pan. Gugelhupf is a sweet coffee cake, while Sally Lunn is a...
Oh, KK, I have made gugelhupf, but not for years. You just may have inspired me, especially if this cold weather holds on. Mart, the temperature...
Sjoerd, the loaf form won't be replaced by this recipe! The batter is so dense that it needs the center opening to bake properly. I tried it once...
[IMG] And that is what is called locally a real "knee slapper!"
We don't get much cold weather here in Texas, but when we do, it's a doozy! Since I scurry outside only to feed the cats and chickens and collect...
I visited the compost pile to make a deposit this morning, and found two more pumpkins! They are green and won't ripen for a while, but with the...
Netty, I've made pumpkin tea bread (to be served at tea, doesn't contain tea!) and I have several cartons pre-measured and frozen for pies. Of...
Not a good day here. Yesterday a gunman opened fire on a small rural church, killing 26 people and wounding 20. He used an assault rifle. Texas is...
Sjoerd, cattle are not dangerous (except bulls when the heifers are "receptive" to their advances). I can go into the next field with two Angus, a...
Netty, if you are excited to clean, come on over to my house and you'll be ecstatic! Today is cleaning up the zinnia beds and doing a bit of...
Your time to enjoy your new lakeside home will come, and be all the better for the wait. An eagle--how wonderful is that! Thank you for grabbing...
Sherry, the problem times will fade in memory (not go away, just fade) and you'll be enjoying your lovely lakeside home and property. We've never...
I love to cook, I love to share food, and I want Thanksgiving to be a recognized holiday! This cartoon sums up my feelings: [IMG]
Cayuga, my grandfather and father referred to a broad bladed hoe as a "scuffle hoe." They were not from immigrant stock (my granddad was actually...
Kay, it was several years ago that I overwintered my bougainvillea, so I forgot to mention the leaf drop. Don't worry about that--as long as the...
KK, if it was a bird, a clear plastic soda bottle with the top and bottom cut off and placed over the seedling is great protection. It is almost...
Sjoerd, I never knew parsnips would turn orange if they weren't kept under water! Of course, I've avoided parsnips all my life, so my ignorance is...
Good for you, KK! Persistence pays off, especially with plants. I hope you have lovely, juicy, tasty tomatoes (odds are good since Carolyn sent...
Stunning! The two elephant heads is a true work of art--I hope it goes to an indoor facility, a museum or gallery, perhaps.
