Years ago I had a recipe for baked donuts. Does anyone have a recipe for those?

Purple sweet potato bars
So, last week my mom acquired some purple sweet potatoes and asked me to make a dessert with them. I tried this recipe https://mindovermunch.com/recipes/sweet-potato-breakfast-bars/ We thought it was delicious, especially warm, but we agreed it would be better with another layer. I settled on this pie crust recipe…

What’s your go recipe for morning tea/entertaining?
Just lately, I’ve hosted a couple of meetings at my home or been asked to bring a plate to a morning tea. I usually come up with Lumberjack Cake for a sweet option or Vegetable slice for savoury. They always turn out & are very edible. I try to make them gluten free & or vegetarian. (To suit everyone) The recipe below for…

Blueberry muffin recipes please
I really need a good Blueberry muffin recipe. None of the recipes for this particular thing taste very good. Maybe it is because they aren't sweet enough or maybe it is another reason but they all seem blah!

San Francisco Sourdough
I got an email today advertising a San Francisco sourdough starter. I remember being in San Francisco years ago and absolutely loving the sourdough. I do know there is something special about. I've made my own starter from scratch and have kept it going probably around 10 years now. I certainly don't need any more things…

Vanilla Heaven
I put up my first batch of home-made vanilla extract on Oct.2--just now got around to trying it. Pure Heaven! If there are any bakers here who are not yet making your own, you have to try this! There's no comparison with the commercial product. It couldn't be simpler: you put your vanilla beans in a bottle or jar with…

A pretty little loaf
I just baked this little loaf (perfect for a single guy). The recipe is in my cook book - super easy, but amazing flavor! My dough starter is about 4 years old now and better with each batch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKX37Q2

Homemade Graham Crackers
We tried these out. They tasted good and worked well for s'mores. I'm sure they would work just as well for any other recipe that calls for them.

Help-someone used a Linen Couche Pastry cloth to actually bake bread on
My former manager gave me two linen couche pastry cloths she didn't like. She did not tell me it was because she didn't read the directions and actually baked the bread on them instead of just using them to proof the dough. Is there any way to remove the baked on dough? I know they do not recommend washing them only…

Too much outdated yeast
I have too much outdated yeast, what can I do with it? Can I use twice as much yeast in recipes? I unknowingly used it in some bread and it didn't raise properly.
-
Parsnip loaf cake
Yes, I will definitely be making this. Our garden blessed us with so many parsnips! I am usually happy putting butter on my parsnips or adding them to soup, stew or stock, but I ran across this idea and so just had to find a recipe. So, I found this recipe for a parsnip sheet cake, but didn't want to sign in for yet…

Has anyone ever ground up Quinoa?
I have ground a lot of different kinds of flours but I was wondering if anyone has ground Quinoa and do you have any recipes? I have ground Spelt, Hard winter wheat, and white wheat before. What grains have you ground and can you share some recipes?

Flour Sources for Baking & Alternative Thickeners
With rising prices and shipping issues that seem to be occurring more often I saw this Zucchini flour recipe and want to give it a try. Zucchini tends to take over gardens so what a great use. It made me think, what other veggies could be turned into flour or added to a mix to extend flour? What other plant could we grow…

Jumballs (1600-1800s cookie)
I was looking at cheese recipes yet again. I found one for "Italian Cheese" that can also be found on the following site. It mentioned that it was good with jumballs. Having no idea what these were, I looked further. One of their suggested recipes looks like a good and fragrant digestive type cookie (coriander & caraway…

Directions for "potato flake sourdough starter"
First a heads up: This recipe and directions is very close to what I used to make about 20 years ago. I got my starter from my best friend, already percolating in the container. Because of that I have not known until this afternoon 2 possibilities: That the first phase of putting the starter together includes 'yeast'.. I…

3D Birthday Cake
This year we have a logging truck burnin' down the highway with that rocket fuel. It's smoking! Haha This is @hedgehog girl's creativity at work. I was pretty much hands off with this one. She said it was lots of fun. Next year, a tractor? But we forgot the roobar/moose bumper on the front. 🤔 Whoops.

This cake’s a keeper
Yesterday I had another crack at a recipe from my favourite Cake Recipe Book “Bake your Cake & Eat it Too” by Tamara Milstein. I made the Greek Walnut Syrup Cake. Gotta say, very happy with result. I used GF flour instead & its mostly ground walnuts. I backed off on the sugar for the syrup & upped the honey. Topped with…
