I'm laughing at how little the women of the salon are contributing.

But I guess these career women these days only cook on special occasions



I'm making a paella tomorrow. Just gotta buy some shrimp.
A few slices of avocado and a cold beer and I'm gonna be

My point is, it's not easy to translate eyeballing ingredients into correct measurements which most people here have already stated. That most likely explains the lack of recipes in this thread. Link/post your recipes breh. We reading.

Rae, you should try to make this

http://spicysouthernkitchen.com/perfect-vanilla-cupcakes-with-strawberry-frosting/

Ingredients
Cupcakes

• 2½ cups all-purpose
• 1 cup cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons half-and-half
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2¾ cups sugar
• 3 large eggs

Strawberry Frosting

• 1½ cups fresh strawberries (or frozen strawberries that have been defrosted)
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2½ to 3 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two 12-cup muffing pans with liners.
2. In a large bowl sift together both flours, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large glass liquid measuring cup combine milk, half-and-half, and vanilla. Set aside.
4. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar. Beat for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on how soft butter is. You want to beat until the mixture looks very creamy.
5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
6. With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with liquid ingredients added in 2 additions. Mix each addition just until ingredients are combined before adding next addition. Scrape sides of bowl to make sure everything is mixed well.
7. Let batter rest for 15 minutes.
8. Stir batter gently and divide between cupcake liners, filling ¾ full. Bake until tops are firm and a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Place strawberries in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer strawberry puree to a small saucepan and simmer (stirring frequently) until reduced by at least half. You should have about ⅓ a cup of puree. Place puree in a small bowl and refrigerate until cooled.
10. Beat butter until fluffy. Beat in 1 cup of confectioner's sugar.
11. Beat in half of strawberry puree.
12. Beat in another cup of confectioners' sugar and then the remaining puree.
13. Beat in vanilla extract.
14. Do a taste test and based on desired sweetness, add either ½ or 1 full cup of confectioners' sugar. If you need to thin the frosting, add a little milk or half-and-half.

The dough was pretty sticky. The recipe calls for a flour board but since i dont have a rolling pin like that i just used A extra seperate bowl of flower to mold the dough To balls and flatten them in my hands. I dug my finger in the middle flatten dough theN tossed them bytches in the hot oil rite away.

pancakes recipe with flavored syrup
1 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
generous pinch of cardamom powder
half a lemon
quarter of an orange/tangerine/clementine
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp of melted salted butter or ghee
3/4 cup milk
1 egg

squeeze the lemon and orange juice into the milk and let it sit for at least 5 minutes so it can curdle
I like to add all my wet ingredients to the curdled milk before I get my dry together, make sure the butter is room temp or its gonna turn into lumps, beat your egg in this as well
assemble the dry ingredients, stir them together with a fork
add the wet ingredients and mix until smooth
let it sit while you grease and heat up a skillet to medium
pour the batter on and wait til bubbles appear on the uncooked side then flip it
repeat

for the syrup:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
extract of your choice

add the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil
let it boil for about 3 mins
ta-da, your own syrup
you can use this recipe for simple syrup in cocktails btw

if you have some frozen fruit you want to make syrup out of, add it to the saucepan frozen and add the sugar, stir and heat, the water from the fruit is all you need

seasoning steak

before you cook your steak however you like it, you can season it by rubbing a bit of salt on the top and letting it sit covered by a foil tent for at least 40 mins
the salt draws up the blood from the meat and letting it sit allows the salted blood to work its way back down into the meat

you can also mix some powdered seasoning into the salt if you wanna be adventurous, if I'm using the meat for something specific, I'll press some aromatics onto the meat after I rub in the salt, like unshelled pimento for pumpkin soup or curry

take into consideration how thick the steak is before deciding how much salt to use btw

baking tips

for sweet non chocolate things, like vanilla cake or caramel, rose water is your secret backup
that stuff is crazy

you can always sub in dark rum for vanilla in a pinch
I've found that, like, half a capful of rum in my yellow cake gives me a really smooth crumb

you can fortify whipped cream with a bit of vanilla pudding mix if you need it to stand up for a long time

coffee really enhances the flavor of chocolate, I don't make a chocolate buttercream or cake without some coffee
