HeidiI took eggs & butter out to come to room temp to bake today but instead of doing that, I worked. It was a long week and I usually work light on Fridays, but my boss is back from vacation. We had a lot to communicate. I'm also out of Cup4Cup, my favorite <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GF</a> flour. Husband found out that was one of the reasons I didn't bake so he bought me 16 (!!) lbs of it on Amazon. I guess it's time to experiment with gf <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bread</a>! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sale</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a>

HeidiI took my time decorating decorating this one and I think it looks ok. One of the boys asked what we were celebrating and I said, "Nothing. I just wanted cake." I'll post another photo once we cut it. I thought the cake was going to be dry because the dome cracked but I had a few bites (from leveling it before frosting) and it should be fine. I kept good notes. I'll try to find the motivation to put it in my baking notebook. I don't know that I'll make this recipe again. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gf</a>

HeidiHere's the finished cake. It was so freaking delicious. I added heath bar toffee crunchies on top and in the middle layer of frosting. That bit of crunch is so satisfying. This is an an uncut 8" round black chocolate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cake</a> with lighter chocolate frosting using Hershey's cocoa.

Liz the Urban BirderThis week I had some successes with gluten-free (GF) baking! One was with the help of a pancake mix from Trader Joe’s; the other was using a homemade GF mix from America’s Test Kitchen to make a pie crust and use it to shape fruit-filled hand pies. (For convenience, we used Lucky Leaf premium fruit filling—not too sweet and adequate flavor.)Still on that learning curve, with a battery of boxed mixes at the ready!<a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/GF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GF</a> <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/GlutenFreeBaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlutenFreeBaking</a> <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/homebakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebakes</a>

Liz the Urban BirderTo all the gluten-free (GF) bakers out there, if you use a mass produced GF flour, what do you use? (ex.

HeidiChocolate chocolate chip cherry chunk drop cookies. I'm so addicted to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/KingArthurBaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KingArthurBaking</a>'s double cocoa blend, I had to bake with it again. These are delicious. Adding to the recipe folder.

HeidiOh man. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baking</a> chocolate cookies with both chocolate and peanut butter chips. *Drool*Made these with King Arthur's double dark cocoa powder.

If you <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bake</a> brownies, it's a necessity. It will make them DELICIOUS.

susannah has movedOk <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/celiacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celiacs</a> let's talk about pie crust.I do not have the time or energy to fuss with roll out crusts even when there's gluten to hold the damn thing together, and the gf pie crusts at my grocery store are actively gross.Also, I've found that gf crusts are super prone to burning.So here's what I do.1) make this dough and press it into my dish <a href="https://glutenfreeeasily.com/new-gluten-free-never-fail-pie-crust-the-best-gluten-free-pie-crust/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://glutenfreeeasily.com/new-gluten-free-never-fail-pie-crust-the-best-gluten-free-pie-crust/</a>It is extremely forgiving re: the all purpose gf flour you use. I usually use Bob's Red Mill All Purpose (chickpea based) or a generic rice based one and it turns out fine.I also add a little xanthum gum since my flour blends don't have it.2) prick it all over with a fork and then add a pie shield to protect the edges from burning. I use <a href="https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/kitchen/bakeware/pastry-tools/69691-adjustable-pie-shield?item=EV199" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/kitchen/bakeware/pastry-tools/69691-adjustable-pie-shield?item=EV199</a>3) now bake it at 350 for 10-15 minutes. It's done when it gets a little golden brown.4) let it cool a bit and then FREEZE THE CRUST. This is the most important step for burning prevention. I cover it with saran wrap before I do this. I usually do this a day or more in advance of making the actual pie or quiche, but I think an hour or two in advance is probably fine?5) Now preheat your oven and make your filling. Once both those things are done, take your pie crust out and fill it up. Add the pie shield back and put the immediately put the pie in the oven so it's as frozen as possible when it goes in.This crust is tasty and very fast - just 20-30 minutes from deciding to do it to pulling it out of the oven. Obviously it doesn't work for top crusts or lattices, but I've just switched to putting crumbles on top of pies that call for that. This blueberry pie recipe has a crumble that's pretty adaptable, but you'll need less butter with gf flours <a href="https://smittenkitchen.com/2017/08/blackberry-blueberry-crumb-pie/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://smittenkitchen.com/2017/08/blackberry-blueberry-crumb-pie/</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/crust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crust</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/celiac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celiac</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/gf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gf</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/pie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pie</a>

Phangurl Di 🖖I spent last night SCREAMING in pain. I had ordered some <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/gf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gf</a> bagels from a local bagel shop and I've ordered from them 30-40 times before and they've always been conscientious but yesterday someone must've thought "what's the harm" or made an honest mistake (who knows). With my <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/celiac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celiac</a>, there's not much I can do but scream and wait for the attack to be over. I live in an apt so I'm afraid my neighbors will hear so I am screaming into pillow and praying/begging that it'll be over soon. 😭 It took so many hours...6 or 7 hours.

M. E. GarberOh sad! As a celiac, Bob’s Red Mill was the first GF flour mill I knew was safe for me. And I still love their products.
