Introduction/Definition/etc
So trying a few things,
going off script/ recipe and/or mix
and see how it goes,
generally not great,
but some pride
(one of the deadly sins, btw)
anyways...
Body
Original Text
CornBread Mixes
having done some other
and then Aldi mixes a few times,
tried a Jiffy Mix box,
but only had one, so had to improvise
multiple and guess to make it a full
recipe, which would be about 2 boxes
having seen the paddle poking through
one short amount
added a can of corn
with liquid
another egg
masa?
or corn meal (very old, by multiple years,
hand me down stuff, see index cards
for sure)
turned out OK
people listening in/spying thought they were stealing
the recipe, a serious problem around here,
stealing from others...
and i have a feeling it affects school and grades,
likely a failing class offence/event...
Corn Pancakes
While Technically,
pancakes may not be baking
it's relevant your honor,
as a corn related thing)
more like fritters,
trying the Ovens2019
skillet /flat top thingie
and where it centers,
doesn't fit well on the one burner,
but too small for two burners,
so have to move it around,
and with wooden spatula handles,
burned myself somewhat
trying not to drop it...
fairly dry, but having the can of corn
adds texture and moisture,
it seems, not fritters, nor fried,
but more variety,
needs some other stuff,
Maple Syrup,
but i'm off that,
imnsho...
Lemon Pound Cake mix
new at Aldi,
the cheaper one is the lemon
not the regular,
and get to try the cake setting,
not noticing much of a difference,
actually...
lots of sugar in it,
probably the first ingredient,
and more to add to it,
then some icing? on top?
and too much, inmsho,
but better than not having enough
(i can always find a use
for some extra sugars like that,
even on am oatmeal...)
I used the icing as a dipping sauce,
had too much liquid added,
in a teacup,
got bored with that
poured it on,
and mopped it up
using a fork,
probably licked the plate clean,
(relearned from childhood
at CommieCamp2012 )
so there...
Masa
A Latino/Latina corn flour/meal
with a special lime (as in limestone
Not lime in the coconut and drink it all up...)
or lye processing to make the B vitamins
more accessible to humans,
as a steady diet of corn yielded pallegra (sp?)
and someone(s) discovered a way around that...
Most would use corn meal,
and searched about it,
grits, corn meal and Masa
are different hings,
with many pages
on the interwebs
about that...
The nixilation (not exact name)
process WikiPedia page has some
chemistry and other stuff,
details, but closer to science than most cooking...
most try using corn meal as masa
and fail,
i'm going the other way
and trying to use masa
as corn meal...
While i think i've had donated bags
previous years
at a different pickup location
and ended up throwing them away?
not knowing what to do with them
and they got old, likely around insects too...
but I started mucking around with a discounted
because opened,
and packing taped back up package
i got, not for the usual tortilla use,
add water, mix (by hand), size into balls,
shape in a tortilla press (i have one of those,
and will eventually try it,
but probably need clingfilm
(Britishism for plastic wrap) first
I tried pancakes using Masa
as the corn meal,
and added some other stuff,
and it turned out rather thick,
somewhere between bread and a pancake,
some might call my first FlatBread
but I'm not so sure...
Bland and needed something on it,
not have maple syrup
Crumb was more like a crumpet,
bubble structure was weird,
bubbling both ways,
and likely using the aluminum based
Baker's Corner,
as running very low on RumFord's
aluminum free...
I added a can or corn part way thru,
as getting dry, and some veggies
are supposed to be good for you,
mucking with the recipe and playing it by feel,
the liquid having a certain consistency
and cooking off the liquid, variable times,
so can adjust that way,
too much liquid is like crepes,
and too thin, but too thick also a problem,
though using for bread is a possibility,
just thick Texas toast like...
Just (Bastardized) CornBread
trying again
Starting from
FixItAndForgetItBakingWithYourSlowCookerByPhyllisGood2019
recipe
Just Bread
and modified heavily from there
i didn't have much oil,
using the last of my vegetable oil
(risks rancid) and
cannot get more for a while,
so using the last part of a little container
of coconut oil, which had solidified in the fridge
decided to try the HamiltonBeachBreadMaker2019
as the instructions were getting annoying,
divided (means what?)
mix dry, in a mixing bowl,
and I'm lazy/tired/old/clinically depressed,
wanted it to do the mixing for me,
so going BreadMaker
which didn't have nearly enough liquid
(corn drinks, i think someone listening in/
aka spying? shouted out)
and might have broken the mixing part,
so added more liquid, milk in this case,
and then some water, nuked that,
as the lump of coconut oil solidified
was clearer when i could see beyond the dryness
and stopped the cycle, not far into it,
used a wooden small spatula and mixed by hand,
trying to get it a consistency that might work,
quick bread setting
which runs about 1h40m
there is a bake function
and a dough function,
neither (sp?) of which i have played with
so just go back to the start
overmixed is probably not good,
but yeast based is probably the only other option,
fruit setting of beep part way thru to add stuff,
might have helped, probably what i did wrong
on a cinnamon swirl mix recently,
without that packet and added
on top when plated,
reducing to a more reasonable
amount of sugar, for me, at the end,
just eating the icing for fun later...
(that was my coconut oil use?
pre fridge, afaict)

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Tried some things and for clarity?
pride/ or some other reason
self justifying calling myself a baker,
a bad one, but a BBaker?
And just a hobby,
don't think i can play with yeast,
or much of anything else
a competent cook/baker
professional,
even a kid who graduates/
passes a home econ class
would already know...
but i hacked it,
missed
