How To Make Transparent Potato Chips. There are two kinds of people in this world: the kind that open a bag of potato chips and indiscriminately start snacking on its contents without even looking down at them, and then there are those that look at a potato chip and ponder, what IS this? Who does it resemble? Could it ever be more than this?

Encore un cadeau gourmand… Lors de la récente recette de nougat que je trouvais originale car chocolatée, beaucoup de lecteurs ont demandé si cette version pouvait se réaliser de manière plus classique, à savoir sans chocolat.

Confiante, j’ai commencé par le pas à pas particulièrement détaillé du livre malheureusement épuisé Confiserie de Sébastien Serveau aux éditons Ducasse, version qui me plaisait car là encore pas de chalumeau impressionnant mais un banal sèche cheveux plus rassurant. Sauf que même si le goût y était, le nougat avait bizarrement tendance à couler. Pas grave, le fait de se lever tôt autorise plusieurs essais sans trop entamer une journée chargée.

How to Make Marshmallow Fondant. This time I decided to make it with those mini fruit flavored marshmallows.

I had to sort them by colour first. I figured they would add a little bit of flavor to the fondant so I wouldn't have to add much flavoring oil. I use gel colours to dye my fondant but regular food colouring will work too. You won't be able to get really dark colours without making your fondant sticky, but for lighter colours you can just even it out with more icing sugar. I also had lemon oil and coconut flavoring on hand.. oh la la the value brand (which still works fine). Step One: Take a couple of handfuls of marshmallows and put them in a microwave safe bowl. I like to make smaller batches because its easier to add the colour to the melted marshmallow than it is to work the colour into the fondant later. Step Two: Stick the marshmallows in the microwave for ten seconds at a time until the are puffed up and easily stir into a goo with a wooden spoon.

Step Three: Step Four: Fondant with the icing sugar kneaded in. Fiona Krüger|Product Design and Creative Consultancy. Deep Dish Fruit Pizza. My sister-in-law Missy first introduced me to the concept of fruit pizza years and years ago, and here’s how: she brought one to my house and I proceeded to eat the whole thing. But it was small. And I was nursing. My mammary glands made me do it. I whipped up a whopper of a fruit pizza a couple of weeks ago using my good ol’ standby sugar cookie recipe…and it was so darn good in such a naughty, naughty way.

How to Make Bagels: A User's Manual at Epicurious.

While making bagels may seem challenging to home cooks, it's actually not as complicated as you might think. But before we get into the specific recipe and bagel-making process, let's explore a few urban myths: Do You Need a Special Type of Flour to Make Bagels? No. Bagel shops often use a type of high-gluten flour to achieve that distinctively chewy texture and to stand up to the rigors of mass production, but you can opt for more readily available unbleached bread flour and still achieve fantastic results. Plus, even though bread flour contains slightly less protein—12.5 percent compared with 14 percent for high-gluten flour—it actually tastes better. Is Barley Malt Syrup Essential to That Distinctive Bagel Taste? Yes and no. Barley malt syrup is available at most supermarkets, but if you can't find it, use brown rice syrup, honey, or agave. Can You Make Good Bagels in One Day?

While not a difficult or labor-intensive process, bagel making is a two-day affair. Cookie Decorating Tutorial – General Tips & Butterfly Cookies.
