King Cake Trials

So I tried a king cake recipe that sounded tasty as well as easy since I'm new to the whole baking with yeast thing. Looks pretty huh? Tasty? Not so much, well the flavor is really nice like a cinnamon bread, but boy did something go wrong in the second rise. Can we say dense? and dry?

Oh well I figure I've got all year to perfect my yeast dough skills and I'll start at Epiphany next year and just keep trying recipes til I find one that works or we get to Fat Tuesday first. It was worth it for the experience anyway.

It Worked YAY!!

So the beignet recipe I tried worked wonderfully, even if we had to give half of them to the neighbors. Oof just couldn't eat them all. I will definitely take pics of the process next time.

Cooking Update

So I've tried a few new recipes in the past couple weeks.

I don't like taking pics and trying to document a first try cause well, most of my first tries suck.

Anyway the ones that haven't Lemon Bars, Roasted Beef Tenderloin will make it up here soon cause they rocked.

I'm hoping the same goes for the beignets I started tonight and plan to fry up in the morning.
