Another Baking Day in P.A. (Warning: Long POst)

  Re: (...)
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!

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.

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.

Jean, everything looks amazing! 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!
