To make the process faster (even though this is a super-quick recipe to begin with) make your own biscuit mix byweighing out and mixing several batches worth of the dry ingredients. Then just weigh out 315g of mix for every 1 large or 2 small biscuits you want to make and add 36g of cold cream. I think you meant 31.5 gm of the dry mix?

I just bought the B.T.C Old Fashioned Grocery Cookbook. For some of the recipes it tells me to use Hoop cheese. I have never heard of or seen Hoop cheese. Further googling as to what I can substitute for this ranges from cottage cheese to sharp cheddar. Is there anyone following this cheese thread who knows what the best substitute might be? This book uses it in quite a few of their recipes. Perhaps @kayb?

I plan on making both of the recipes you posted. Thanks for posting both recipes in grams. Can they be frozen unbaked? If baked, first, how well do they freeze? There are just the two of us and we would not be eating them all at once. I live in a condo so my kitchen is not very cold. Would it help to have my mixing bowl in a larger bowl that contains ice?

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I have a couple of questions that I probably know the answers to but want to ask just to be sure: Once cut but unbaked, can these be frozen and baked as wanted? Can they be frozen as soon as they have been baked cooked? Can the butter be cut in using a FP?

Who has a good recipe that they swear by?

I love a nice piece of Beemster or Double Gloucester. As mentioned by @Darienne, we are also big fans of the Balderson Double Smokdd Cheddar and Collier's. Brie is good too.

What's the brown stuff on top?

You beat me to it.

@iPat Try sending an email to David.Pietranczyk@polyscienceculinary.com

I have seen these too but haven't tried them. They are available here in the mainstream grocery stores. I do like the Patak products.

My second shot at caramelized onions. Thus time ar 275F which worked like a charm.

That is such a good explanation that even I can understand it. Thank you.

I really like the glasses and the bowls. I don't care for stems on wine glasses either and I too am an old(er) fart. I use stemless riedel glasses but I also keep wine glasses with stems for those who prefer them. In restaurants I use what they give me, but my preference there would be stemless.

I just tried caramalizing some onions @325. They burnt. Pot is soaking in the sink and will try again in an hour or so.

Thank you. I guess I don't understand @iPat 's question. Why would you need to download firmware to make this thing work? I mean, mine worked right out of the box. Am I missing something here? (That would not be improbable.)

Today I received my BBB flyer. It has the Instant Pot 9-in1 Dup Plus 6 at. On sale for $119.99 (Cdn) + $30.00 gift card. The small print says "Manufacturer does not allow coupons on Instant Pot." I wonder of the $30.00 gift card is to make up for this?

OMG no! What are they charging? Either way, I don't care, I'll be getting some.

Can't wish for better service.

I was one who participated in this as well. After the first go-round, when I did manage to make some good bread and pancakes, I did not have any luck making a new batch. I'll have to try it again.

How do you make your starter? I have had mixed success.

Can you share your DDL made in the Thermomix with me? I am looking to make some DDL ganache. Thank you.

No USA pan set on sale at Amazon.ca. Too bad because I really like their pans.

How wonderful that you could meet up! It is nice to put a face to the name

Are they steam ovens?
