Another Baking Day in P.A. (Warning: Long POst) - cjs - 07-05-2013 What a fun morning, but this old broad is dragging now, let me tell you! This is what I did: Baking day in P.A. – leftover egg whites from making Gelato yesterday went into Oregon Hazelnut (except I didn’t have Hazelnuts/used walnuts) Meringue Bits. They are Gluten free for those interested. Great flavor! * Exported from MasterCook * Oregon Hazelnut Meringue Bits 3 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup Oregon hazelnuts -- finely chopped 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels 1/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs Beat egg whites and salt until very stiff. Add sugar slowly and keep beating. Fold in Oregon hazelnuts, chocolate and cracker crumbs. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes at 350ºF. Source: "Dundee Hazelnuts & The Oregon Hazelnut Industry" ------------------- Still trying to master making rolls/buns that we are happy with – close today. Sourdough N.E. Hot Dog Rolls – adapting one recipe to the method of another caught me off guard a little; I used a little too much dough in the pan, so will try again (after these are enjoyed) with maybe ~8 oz. less dough. I have the neatest baking pan for these. Leftover dough from making hot dog buns went into a small loaf of bread and can’t wait to slice into this one. Wile I was baking, I had lots of l/o soaked Mesquite/Apple chips, so smoked/roasted a half chicken for quite a few dinners later this week. Whew – my kitchen smell delightful and I feel really fulfilled!! Now to the courtyard, a glass of wine and my book. Re: Another Baking Day in P.A.

I absolutely love meringue cookies, so I never make them....you can count how long they last around here in minutes, and I'm trying to avoid expanding, y'know? Enjoy your wine and book!

(Warning: Long POst) - Mare749 - 07-05-2013 Everything looks so good, Jean. Especially that loaf of bread! Re: Another Baking Day in P.A. (Warning: Long POst) - Gourmet_Mom - 07-05-2013 Amazing! I need to get in gear and get cooking! Re: Another Baking Day in P.A. (Warning: Long POst) - cjs - 07-06-2013 PJ - that's what I'd love to do with some of them!
