recipes, and how they mutate
I just took another look at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky's fine cake-making poem, because I made cakelings for eleanor yesterday and she wanted the recipe.
Oh. The sugar's supposed to go in before the egg. I wonder how much difference it makes that I've been doing it the other way around?
Oh again. Peel the apple. Nah, too much trouble, and I like them with the peel.
Apple, then flour. Am I doing any of this as specified? Well, I'm melting the butter, and the proportions are as given.
Maybe if I do it in the other order, I'll manage to get 12 cakelings out of a batch. (I usually get ten or 11--yesterday only produced nine.)
