Just finished Sunday morning brunch. Helped my husband make his world-famous buttermilk pancakes from scratch. Decadent! I added appl … Scarlet is ahead 17-7 near the end of the 4th quarter. Looks like we’re going to Graeter’s! YAY! My dad & my son had an ice cream bet: If Scarlet wins, we go to Graeter’s. If Gray wins, we go to Johnson’s. I’m rooting for Scarlet! Getting ready to go to the OSU Spring football game. Go Bucks! Love that win-win game 😉 Next time, I will put a chocolate crust on the bottom to make it easier to serve. It was MESSY! (am I allowed to lick my fingers?!) The chocolate torte had 2 layers: dense, rich chocolate on bottom, light chocolate mousse on top. Sticky, gooey & oh-so-sweet. Intense! Tried a new recipe for chocolate hazelnut torte using Nutella–at a friend’s request for her birthday. Can’t wait to see how it turned out! Trying a new recipe for dinner: Smokey black bean & corn pizza cooked on the grill. Made Omega Bakery’s focaccia for the crust. Yum! Spreading goodwill to the neighbors: a plate of Scottish Shortbread & Death By Chocolate cookies to a new mom. Question: My mom says you can substitute applesauce for oil in some recipes? What do you think? Baking S.O.S. says: It is possible to substitute applesauce for some of the fat (oil, butter, or shortening) in recipes. However, fats serve an important role in baked goods, so you cannot omit them all together. Fats give baked goods moisture, tenderness, and flavor. If you completely omit the fats and substitute applesauce, your baked goods will be rubbery and unappetizing. If you reduce the amount of oil (or other fat) in a recipe, you need to replace it with other tenderizing ingredients such as sugar, buttermilk, or whole eggs. I found the following recipes using applesauce in baked goods on www.allrecipes.com:
