| Great for holiday baking - I’ve found you can use pumpkin or sweet potato (or butternut squash too) interchangeably in just about any baking recipe that calls for one of them. Sweet potatoes are the common red-brownish skinned root vegetables with sweet orange flesh and semi-smooth skin; there is also a variety with yellow flesh, with a taste resembling a mix of potato and apple. Yams usually have a rough dark brown skin, similar in texture to tree bark, with a white, purple, or red flesh. Yams do not have orange flesh. Therefore, most of what you see in the supermarket labeled as a yam is in fact a sweet potato - info thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
| Who'da thunk it! is what my wonderful mother-in-law Teensie would say to using beer to make a cake. From beercook.com -
Certainly, baking with today's beer is a snap. To bake a fresh crusty loaf, you just have to open a bottle and pour it into a quick-bread mix. But baking with beer in a yeast dough or dessert can be more challenging, due to the presence of hops and aromatics. Hops can alter the flavor of bread because the bitter flavor intensifies while baking. When real ale is available, the yeasty bite of the unfiltered beer pairs well in savory baked goods, as well as some desserts. In quick breads, fritters and scones, the carbonation of beer adds light texture. -
