wan (again)

so I made the dough for the mallo cookies - I cut the recipe in half.  should I still make a full thing of marshmallows or cut that one in half, too?  I think you mentioned you had too many cookies leftover.

Re: wan (again)

  • definitely make the entire marshmallow recipe.  i'm sure you read about my mixing disaster, right?  haha!

    in any case, if you end up with leftovers, just spread it out in a greased pan, let 'em set, and then cut them up and use them in s'mores or something.  the marshmallow flavor is so yummy!

  • I just tried rolling out the dough and it was still sticky (it's been refrigerated for at least 1.5 hrs).

    grrrrrr!  Angry

    I'll try again in a few hours and will probably assemble tomorrow.  I thought I had corn syrup but don't - fortunately, I found a recipe online to make it.  I was going to start crying!

  • wow! i made mine on a super humid day and was able to roll it out after an hour in the fridge.  Confused

    i am ALWAYS looking for ingredient substitutes online.  i think i make pretty good grocery lists but sometimes i tend to skim a recipe and end up missing a key ingredient.  d-oh!

    i'm pretty sure it wasn't anywhere near as humid as lithuania.

    yeast and i are not friends.  good luck with the brioche.  yum.

    did I mention it's supposed to be 103 today? and tomorrow, and the next day, and it might drop down to 101 on sat if we're lucky.

  • Angry  the dough is STILL sticky!  I give up, I'll try again tomorrow morning.

    I'm hoping I didn't royallyfuckitup.

  • damn! ?even when you roll it with flour and stuff, it's still not workable? ?boo.

    okay, steps 1 & 2 of brioche buns, check. ?we're into step 3 now - the first rising.?

  • GL, hopefully one of us is successful. :/

  • okay, the brioche buns = SPECTACULAR.  they're actually really easy to make - just time consuming, and that's mostly sitting around waiting for the dough to rise.  and they're so good - chewy, soft, buttery, with a hint of sweetness.

    you've GOT to try them.  and if you halve the recipe, well, just remember to actually only use HALF the ingredients ;)
