The Baking Bug Strikes
Jun. 25th, 2008 08:04 pmI've had the baking bug lately. No clue why. Just picked up a recipe book and started baking (and good 'ol cooking) one day.
I've tried tortillas, cakes, cinnamon rolls, donuts, biscuits, cookies, refried beans, and soups. All with varied levels of success.
However, I have found my nemesis: hamburger buns. They just don't turn out right.
Day One: Tried the recipe word for word. Thought something might be off. Discovered what was wrong after the buns came out like hockey pucks.
Day Two: Stubbornly tried recipe for a second time, this time with appropriate changes. Dough looked pretty good. Still didn't rise. Baked 'em anyway and didn't get hockey pucks. They're just really small and very dense hamburger buns.
My mother thinks I could use them to make miniature hamburgers.
I strongly suspect she's mocking me.
*goes back to the drawing board with a different recipe for hamburger buns*
