BAKING AND PASTRY TECHNIQUES

April 18, 2013

We were back in the kitchen making quick breads with the techniques we learned (biscuit method, muffin method, and creaming method).  Today's formulas were Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Country Biscuits, and Morning Glory Muffins. Our team pulled it together today and we  completed everything in an efficient manner (plus these formulas were way easier than all the other we have completed so far).  Our end products turned out great.  I was not a fan of the morning glory muffins which included carrots, raisins, pecans, coconut and apple.  I thought there was too much going on in the muffin.  The Country Biscuits were a nice texture and the Sour Cream Coffee was awesome (my favorite so far), although I would rather have had oats than pecans in the topping.  Here a picture my team with our finished products.
