Are You Up For A Baking Challenge? 🧁 | Pan Pals 🍳 

I love how food memories can help us be creative in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing yours!

Thanks so much! I do have a RU-vid channel _Craveg_ for anyone interested. I just posted a live video with my vision for upcoming videos.

I was just going to write that comment. She has the best laugh. And she seems like a really sweet and friendly person.

Thanks so much Steph! Good idea!

I felt the same.

Do you have any advice about our challenges melting the brown sugar with the butter?

She just passed in January. I still go over and watch the shows and talk to her. Thank you for acknowledging ❤️

Me too ^^

I have such fun finding ways to transform mistakes into something more tasty.

@@amyschneidhorst1384 The idea of adding eggs and flour to leftovers and baking them is one I use a lot. Baked Soup anyone?

I am going to borrow "measure with my heart,". Me too!

@@amyclaire100 I can’t claim that I coined the term, but it’s a good one! 🥰

Make sure to chill the filling before adding it to the crust. (Not included in my edits to my original family recipe).

I love that in addition to not knowing much about the pan pals recipes I have never heard of ash cakes or macaroni Amiens. It's like my first season of GBBO!

@@amandalloyd8812 Hihihi, I do have a thing for a bit obscure traditional recipes over the very commen modern ones, since I can not have gluten that's often easyer and more interesting. Just sweet never cuts it for me. ashcakes come from the British islands, there are very old and there are tons of variations of them, but they are always made from oats. Traditional they would have been baked in the ashes of your fire, the newer skillful preparation would be in a skills, where you also get some charring, but they are very prone to breaking so I most often bake them in the oven. My recipe consists out of oats, honey and ghee since I can not have butter and barberris. Barberries are very much not traditional, buts a dried fruit I always have at hands and with the honey the ashcakes are sweet enough that I do not feel the need to add to that, but you could so apples raisins or which ever strikes your fancy. Tasting history has a great video on the topic but looking it up you should be able to find tons or recipes and articles. Macarons d'amiens are like other macarons made from eggs and ground almonds but originate from a different region of France and are way simpler in preparation. Ground almonds, sugar, honey, some smooth apricot or other light colored jam or fruitbutter, egg whites. In contrast to other similar recipes, the egg whites do not get beaten fluffy, the dough feels like wet paste of almonds and usually gets rested for about 8 hours, but one also can bake them imidietly and does not lose that much. Before they are baked you use one of the left over egg yolks to give them a wash with it and then bake them golden. They are very delightful, somewhat crispy on the outside, light and airy in the inside despite not having have beaten the egg and the core is very soft and moist if you have not over baked them. There are also several variations out on the Internet for them, some add bitter almond extract. Falling into the same category would be beju, traditional Nigerian cookies made from freshly grated coconut and cassava as well as some sugar and I like to add a bit of ginger.

Ikea! A big improvement over hanging baskets for onions and potatoes.

So jealous, I never had anyone to bake with as a kid. I had to get into it all on my own as soon as I got trusted with it. your niece is very very lucky to have you!!!

I've had that happen too!
