What was the last thing you baked? - I’m making Christmas cookies in April

[Garlic Salt]

My grandma’s banana pound cake recipe. There was enough sugar in it to give you diabetes with just a glance at it, but it was very tasty.
I was going to freeze portions for the sugar-loving mister to take with his lunches, but the dogs snatched it off the counter the moment I left the kitchen for a few minutes. I replaced the walnuts it called for with pecans, which apparently are very bad for dogs. The rest of my day was spent forcing peroxide down their throats and watching them vomit up cake and foam in the yard.

Tried to make a milk tart but I suck at the filling...

Made cinnimon roll blondies for Easter as a twist on my family's Easter cinnimon roll tradition. There's approximately 9000 fucktons of butter and sugar which is why they were so damn good.
Both delicious when hot from the oven and when cooled down the next day.

Chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting.

A couple of loaves of banana bread chock full of pecans, crumbled banana chips and Ghirardelli 60% chocolate chips.

I shared a strawberry pie that I made recently with some people I knew and one of them kept asking if I used alcohol in it and that he really liked it. I hadn't noticed it before but it did have a strong tinge of alcohol. I like to store all my fruit in mason jars because it keeps them sorted and looks a lot better. I just realized that I've probably accidentally been fermenting all my fruit in the mason jars and it makes it taste really good.

Browned butter oatmeal chocolate chip and pecan cookies.

2 sticks butter; browned and chilled til semisolid
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 cups AP flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped pecans
10 oz semisweet chocolate chips (I recommend Ghirardelli 60%)

Take the two sticks of butter and brown in a wide saucepan before moving to a container to resolidify (the fridge is helpful here).

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg with a whisk in a large bowl.
In a second bowl, beat the eggs, add the vanilla and combine.
In a third bowl, cream the butter and sugar, mix the flour mixture in slowly, then add the egg mixture.
Once that's homogenous, add the oats, pecans and chocolate chips and mix until combined - you're going to want a very strong spoon here.

Spoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet in ping pong/golf ball sized portions and bake at 350F for 12 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 8 minutes before moving to storage.



The oatmeal keeps them chewy for ages and who doesn't love pecans and chocolate?

Blueberry lemon poppy sneed muffins. Waiting for payday currently to get a few more ingredients to make a coca cola cake.

A raspberry pie.
I love myself some raspberry and I want to become better at baking.

 

[Narrowback]

Peanutbutter and chocolate chip cookies. It just doesn't get better

Was able to make this, however the cake ended up too dense.

Mother's Day treat for my mom, these are banana bread scones and were DELICIOUS. Very fluffy and moist. I made a maple-whisky (Glenfiddich 12) glaze instead of the original rum glaze in the recipe.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

Did biscuits and gravy from scratch a couple months ago, could've made the buscuits a bit bigger.

 

[Foltest]

Did another Raspberry pie ( I am getting better) and in the future, I will try to make some muffins.

Those do look pretty fantastic. I will say that I really like the King Arthur cream scone recipe (mostly because there's no cutting in the fat since it's effectively included in the heavy cream) and have played around with it a bit in terms of additions - some mashed bananas and maybe some nuts would indeed kick ass.

Ginger-peach upside down cake. Used the Land-O-Lakes recipe, which is for one big cake but I did six mini Bundts instead - lowered the bake time to 30 minutes and went pretty nuts with the amount of fresh ginger in the topping. They're not much to look at, but they stayed in one piece and turned out fucking delicious. Would definitely make again.

Just pulled a loaf of banana bread (with pecans and chocolate chips) out of the pan. Waiting for freshly-baked stuff to cool is fucking torture:

 

[AnOminous]

Not technically baking, since I already have the pie (apple empanadas), but I'm attempting a sous vide dulce de leche with sweetened condensed milk in a vacuum bag at 185 for 12 hours. Then I'm going to serve that with vanilla ice cream.

(I want to see if the bag method works well. If it isn't noticeably better I'm going to stick with the can method.)

I made a Nutella banana bread for Mother's Day.
