Watch this pastry chef attempt a gourmet take on the classic Cheez-It

sudshr47 March 26, 2019

Pastry chef Claire Saffitz is back at it again with some intense dedication to extremely detailed junk food recreation.

On this episode of the YouTube series Gourmet Makes from Bon Appétit, Saffitz takes on the classic cheesy snack — Cheez-It. She can tell from the beginning that they will have to be baked, and sets out on a quest to get that iconic texture just right.

To get those very crispy layers, she uses a technique called “lamination” with butter, which produces a flakiness similar to the layers of a croissant.

However, it’s a struggle. Several people assist her in the math portion of calculating what size the dough will bake to and how much it shrinks in the oven. “How many college degrees did that take?” she remarks. Read more…

Seasonal Reese’s are better than Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

sudshr47 March 22, 2019

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are obviously incredible, the envy of their chocolaty peers. But as Easter approaches and we begin to consider our springtime candy lineups (I assume everyone does this), it might be time to admit that specialty Reese’s — we’ll use the seasonal Reese’s Egg as an example — are better.

There are several key differences between Reese’s Cups and Reese’s Eggs, including size, shape, and the amount of peanut butter within the chocolate shell. Most notably, the cup has ridges and the egg does not.

But Reese’s, it turns out, do not need ridges to be the best versions of themselves. In fact, they just need to be shapeless, chunky globs. Read more…

sudshr47 March 12, 2019

Maybe social media isn’t so bad after all.

Business had been slow for Billy’s Donuts in Missouri City, Texas, which opened only last week, according to NBC News.

So the owner’s son, Billy, posted a tweet on Saturday evening with pictures of his dad Satharith at the counter of his empty store.

“My dad is sad cause no one is coming to his new donut shop,” Billy captioned the post.
