There are so many things I've made over the past few months that have been reasonably successful that I've simply failed to post. So here is my desperately late post about the hodge podge of meals, desserts, and odds-and-ends I have been concocting.
I figured I'd start from five minutes ago and work my way back in time. I made a light, fluffy pastry this morning for breakfast. Well, maybe pastry isn't the right word. Or light. Or fluffy. I made what I thought would be a light, fluffy pastry. Instead it turned out to be an undercooked, sweet egg.
But that was my fault; it still tasted good. You see, since it was a balmy 80 degrees outside (yes, even at 9 in the morning) I decided to bake this German pancake in the toaster oven rather than the large oven, therefore avoiding heating the apartment up more than necessary. I was, however, unaware that the pancakes puff up above the pan (and, in my case, into the toaster elements). I had to let the pancake deflate before allowing it to continue cooking in the toaster, so the inside was not as fluffy as it should have been.
