Nice. I may make those one day, next time I have the need to, am near an oven, and feel like doing the math to convert to 'merican measurements.Private Custard said:SnipDr Snakeman said:I don't really know what a mince pie is, but anything with that much saturated fat in it must be good.Private Custard said:I made epic mince pies this evening. The pastry was made with 50% butter and 50% lard. Soft, crumbly, but still moist.
I even made some experimental 'flying saucer' mince pies, with extra styling using a fork. Also a win!
It's a sign that TV Tropes Has Ruined My Life that I have never watched that show, and I still know what you're talking about.Paksenarrion said:I have a Bake Note. But you would never suspect it. I just write down the name of a person, and 30 minutes later, they turn into delicious pie.
I just grab a slice...and I EAT IT.

I like your attitude, I do bake, usually when im hungry or crave baked goods. knowing how is the first step to baking happiness!Dr Snakeman said:So, I'm currently in the middle of crafting the most thoroughly bitchin' cinnamon rolls in existence (I know, because I made them last year, and they kicked ass). I'm in the "wait for the dough to rise" phase. They are shaping up to be my new favorite part of Christmas morning, if they wind up as good as last time.
But that's enough about me. The point of this thread is to ask the question in the title: Do you bake? How often? What is your favorite baked good, either to make or to eat?
At its core, this thread is about things that are baked, and the people who bake them. Discuss.
No it isn't, but what it is is completely hardcore. You, sir, have figured out the art of Manly Baking.Meathands said:Fresh bread just isn't right unless you've actually sweated into it whilst kneading. Nor are are any Christmas confections worth eating unless you were liberally swigging from a bottle of cooking brandy whilst making them. Man baking is the only thing that works as a visual metaphor for the joy of battle metal.
That's why I've got a cooking playlist with Manowar and Omen on it.
I've just read that back and it really doesn't seem mentally healthy.
