One thing that I am confused about in the recipe used here is that it didn't call for the butter to be creamed/whipped (well, Mama's recipe did). It really helps make a difference in baked stuff :shobon: Makes the texture more appealing, from what I've seen. Slice butter in to tiny pieces (increase surface area, meaning it'll get to room temperature faster), then mix for a bit to get it all gooey and creamy. Lots of pastries and breads call for this mixed with sugar in the earlier stages of the recipes.

For breads and the like it can be useful, but you don't want to do that when making a pie crust. You want to keep your butter cold and the dough not TOO smooth by the end, so that the pie crust comes out flaky instead of hard. It's similar to the reason you don't want biscuit dough to be smooth.

Anyway, this is a great series so far, and I'm gonna toss in another vote for borscht. I loving love borscht.

Seems like the votes are already rolling in, but hell yes, coconut shrimp.

As for this episode, I do love me some gnocchi and that looks like a really good recipe. I'll have to try it out, thanks!

Gotta be burgers. Also that fried chicken looks delicious, and you are my hero forever for not doing the trendy thing and using goddamn panko.

It all started to go wrong when the skewer came into play. Mico, why.
