Savory Cheddar Herb Buttermilk Scones recipe by @goodport.bsky.social Very cheezy and full of yummy goodness. 😋 🧁 I subbed barley flour for whole wheat and thinned out some Greek yogurt for buttermilk. These scones are HUGE! 😍 Definitely making these again. #BakingSky #Cheese #Scones #Winner

8 huge Cheddar Herb Scones baked to a golden brown sitting on a cooling rack. Banana for scale. 😆

It was a successful outcome for my substitute pie weights using a Pyrex bowl with some water. 🥳 The pie crust did stick to the foil a little bit when I pulled it off, so next time, I'll spritz it with some cooking oil spray. Pumpkin pie for the win! 🥰 #PumpkinPie 🧁 #Nof1 #Baking #Research

Perfectly baked pumpkin pie cooling on a rack. Looks good enough to eat. 😆

Hey BakingSky bakers! 🧁 Has anyone used other substitutes for pie weights or beans when par-baking a pie crust? I'm experimenting with a Pyrex bowl and a bit of water inside, so wish me luck. 🤞🏼 #ScientificBakingMethod #InquiringMindsWant2Know #Baking #questions

The weather finally cooled enough (and I had the time) to try my hand at My Brother's Baked Beans recipe, so graciously shared by @goodport.bsky.social I made a half batch because there are only two of us. 😆 They are as awesome as expected. I'm definitely going to be making these again. 😋 🍽

Trying some low-fat baking experimentation with a box of brownie mix (Betty Crocker Cookie Brownie Bars). How did they turn out? 🤔 Read the explanation in the photo alt text. 😉 #baking #brownies #research

Substituted applesauce for the oil & most of the butter (kept 1 tbsp) and added a bit of baking powder for lift, espresso powder to heighten the chocolate flavors, and a dash of cinnamon, ('cause I love cinnamon).
They turned out rather cake-like instead of gooey, but they aren't too bad.
Next time, I may try yogurt to replace the oil and see if they stay moist.

🧁 After 14 months of waiting patiently, I finally bottled my own homemade vanilla extract! 😋 I used Madagascar beans and either Skyy vodka or Bellwood Acres Apple vodka (small batch). #bakingsky #BellwoodAcres #vanilla #homemade #VanillaPura

Several small bottles of homemade vanilla extract with yellow labels are lined up on a white kitchen towel. Light is reflecting on the amber liquid.
