I am halving the recipe, and I noticed when I halve the original recipe which calls for 30 grams of yolks, I am left with 15 grams which is 1 egg yolk. Will the recipe work with just 1 egg yolk.?

Thanks for the tips. Since I am not a bread maker, how do I know what size break pans to use. I've halved the recipe to see if I like enough to make it again.

Need help I am going to try to make Thomas Haas recipe for Stollen but I am not sure how to make pastry flour from his weights, because I cannot find pastry flour in the store. His recipe calls for 350gr of pastry flour, 350gr cake flour and 350gr of bread flour Also his recipe calls for 300gr almond paste 66% fruit. I have the Odense version of almond paste but I didn't know that almond has a percentage of fruit. It also calls for 70 gr of fresh yeast. What can I use instead of fresh yeast? My market doesn't carry fresh yeast, just packaged.

Is that the recipe from epicurious? Wondering why no ones making the cranberry upside downcake?

My wife has some chipped beef and she looked to me to find her a good recipe. Anybody know what we can do with this? Thanks

I would like to try RLB's recipe, but could not find it, even under Twin Cities.com. Does anybody have a working link? Thanks

You can get it at the market across from Satuie(bad spelling) winery, called Dean and Deluca.

Excuse me, but I tried to find David's lemon square recipe, but no luck. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks

Thanks, since I've done the Sue B cake before and know what it tastes like, I will purchase a collar for my pan and that should take care of any possiblities of overflow. Texas Sheet cake for another time.

Will I have a problem if the sheet pan I am using, I think is called a jelly roll pan, doesn't have much of a lip such as overflowing? Would I have a thicker cake with the Sue B. over the Texas sheet cake?

I would like to make a chocolate sheet cake for a department party and I have a 11 x 16 sheet pan. Will Sue B cake or the Texas sheet cake work or do I need to modify the recipe? Thanks

I saw that, since when does he make anything bad, at least he hasn't disclosed that to us lately. I sure woundn't want to post my picture here of this what might be a disaster. I was thinking, perhaps I overblended my ingredients in the cuisinart. So is striking like something chocolate. It sure will be a surpise to everyone if it tastes anywhere like it is supposed to. ← Well the tart was fine, but I prefer Herme's a bit more. I think that this tart, which includes the complete lemon, didn't have, as one guest said "it didn't have the clean lemon tart flavour as Herme's". It could also be that I had to bake this tart quite a bit longer than the recipe called for and this may allow for the distinctive flavour difference. Other than the tart looking more like a chocolate tart than a lemon I feel anybody making this lemon tart for the first time would be very pleased.

This is my experience with the Tartest Lemon Tart. I have mine in the oven, and so far its taking a lot longer than the recommended time. I think I am at 65 minutes so far. It has overflowed the edge and is dark brown on the top. Looks more like a chocolate souffle. It still jiggles when I am checking for doneness, I mean the whole tart still jiggles. I've double checked the recipe and everything is correct as far as I can see. I am making a note in the book for myself not to use all the batter. I faired much better with Herme's lemon tart.

Can't, at least I am not able, to glaze without heating it first. Maybe I should add a little gelatine next time when I know it will be some hours before feasting. Or, I will just glaze a little before I cut into it.

I decorated the tart with the strawberries the night before, and I waited until morning to glaze with the apple jelly just so that the glaze would remain shiny. The apple jelly is not Farmer's, it might be Smuckers, I am not sure since I am not at home right now. Perhaps you might be right with the moisture.

I made a lemon tart last night and decorated it with sliced strawberries. This morning, 4:30, I glazed the strawberries with apple jelly, and I've noticed now that all the glaze has melted or oozed away, leaving the strawberries dull looking. Is there any off the shelf product that will hold up for about 8 hrs. before slicing?

Do you know if anyone has a smaller flexipat? It sure would come in handy at home.

I have the same problem with mine as well and I did exactly the same thing you did, as far as the process and products go. Even though I haven't tasted the cake yet, I know the taste will be fine.

I have a gut feeling that I am trying to melt too much sugar. I haven't been shaking out the excess. You're suggestion of doing layers will be my next approach. Thanks

I find the sugar usually beads as it melts. Try a thicker layer of sugar (I like the turbinado), hold blow torch a little further away, and rotate as Vanessa says. ← I saw the Alton episode and remember it well, just because I am so focused on this problem. I did rotate it and waved the torch so that I wouldn't sit in any one spot too long and start burning. Could it be I have too much sugar and that I have beads of sugar forming and rolling down and around because there is still untorched sugar below?

I just tried to make the caramel topping on the creme brulee, but as I use the blow torch the sugar forms beads of melting sugar, which then burns. This is my second attempt and I don't understand why I am getting beads of melting sugar instead of the whole topping just melting. I've used plain sugar and I've used Cook's Illustrated version of using brown and white sugar which have been ground fine. I haven't used the Turbinado sugar yet. Okay I just tried some Turbinado sugar in a small bowl and the same thing happens - I just get beads of sugar.

You know, what else I noticed, was that my layers look much thiner than Dorie's. My layer looks as thick as hers before being split.
