Holiday baking gave me an idea. This site should have a baking thread. A place to show off what we made, swap recipes, ask for advice, and just generally talk about our baked goods.

To start, why not keep with the holiday theme. What did you guys make for the holidays? What recipes do you favour? Anything passed down in the family?

I made some sugar cookies, but I didn't want to buy half a gallon of buttermilk for only a few teaspoons. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk mixed with lemon juice instead. It turned out really well, actually.

I bake moderately often.  It's hard because I have to cook vegan.  Piecrusts are a bitch.

 

Anyways, no pic because I haven't made it recently:

 

Get or make yourself a savoury piecrust.  not sweet.

 

Then while that's sitting there get out a pot.

 

  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped (about a cup)
  • 3 cloves of minced garlic
  • 2 cups of mushrooms, finely chopped 
    • I use TVP and some liquid smoke
    • You could also add meat here
  • 1 tbs chilli powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 (15 oz) can of tomato paste/sauce/chopped tomatos
  • 1/4 cup of water
    • add a bit more if you're using dry ingredients or not using mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
    • you can sub in rice
  • 1 (15 oz) can of black beans
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
    • agave, brown sugar, and honey are acceptable subsitutes.  Molassses if you're reeeeealy careful

 

Medium heat, sauté the onions until they get translucent.  add the garlic and mushrooms/mushroom alternative.  Add the garlic and mushrooms.  If you are doing mushrooms you want the mushrooms to sweat out their liquid, if you're using anything else add at least a splash of water.

 

Add chilli powder and salt, stir it up.  You want everything in there well coated, but not sticking to the bottom.  Pour in like 3/4th of your tomato product and all of the grains and water.  Wait for it to start bubbling a bit (you can turn it up to high), stirring.  Once it's bubbled a bit, turn heat to low and cover.  Wander back occasionally during a half an hour to stir it, or ignore it.  Preheat your over to 325-350 (our oven is cantankerous)

 

Return, mix your sweet, beans, and remaining tomato into the main mixture, give it a hell of stir.  Pour into piecrust.  Stick into oven.  Bake for like, 15 minutes.

 

Remove and nom

The only thing that gets baked in this household... Is me.

 

Ngl, my baking skills are 0, but my apple strudels aren't too bad.

 

We didn't bake anything special for the holidays, although I did make a ton of biscuits with my lil cousins a few weeks before Christmas.

 

 

 

And let's face it, eating the dough is the best part of baking. No shame.

I'm guessing that's an American thing? Because if we got it here I'd be all over it.

If you have it it would be in the refrigerated section.  Americans have a goddamn dearth of free time so we have lots of prepreped and semi prepreped food

My baking skills are putting a box mix in a bowl, add water, oil, eggs, etc, mix and put in the oven.

*gasp*

Cake box mix? The horror.
I'm so glad that's not really a thing here. I've tried it once and, compared to a fully homemade cake, it's awful. The taste is bad, the consistency is bad, even the smell is bad. Poor America :(

 

@Bee where's the recipe for those delicious buns? :D

I've had some pretty terrible fully homemade cakes; but never a bad cake box mix.

And that's why I don't like cake. Unless it's cheesecake. Or icebox cake.
