RECIPES!! deadline March 18

Fudio - I also tried the custard pie (have some images pending in the inspection queue) and thought it was just me!!  I had a mess with it being too full to get from the counter into the oven.  It spilled everywhere and I had to dip out probably 3/4 cup just to move it.  It called for a 9" crust / pie dish so that's what I used but I sure wished I had used a 9 1/2" one!!  It did seem to take a long time to set up too.  It was jiggly right up until the last couple of minutes!!

lol - i did the custard pie too and it was a disaster.  really wobbly - i ended up putting it in for an extra 10 min to set and it puffed up really strangly and was brown, not yellow.  it still tasted great which was odd. i took the extra filling (which there was  a ton of) and put it into little creme brulee dishes...those 4 turned out perfect...go figure!

Glad to hear it wasn't just me! As I mentioned, the second one I made I used only 1 1/2 cups of milk, and on the advice of my wife used two whole eggs plus one more yolk. It set perfectly and didn't taste like quiche...very good actually. I also had an issue transfering the first one so I put the empty crust in the oven and ladled the mixture in place. Much easier.

/I didn't have square pans, so I made this recipe in my round cake pans.  I filled three of them.  I will not submit those images for this cake contest, but I do have one image that I altered to look like a two-tiered cake after photographing the cake as a three-tiered cake.  To make a two-tiered cake,  I cut a square piece from the cake, and only took the top two layers.  It's an extremely close-up shot. This is a super delicious cake, and perhaps this image is suitable for this recipe contest.  The recipe was followed as stated except for the baking in the square pans.  I also doubled the icing recipe  since we love icing.  This cake is super moist and very delicious.   I also varied my oven temperature since I have a fast convection oven.  I set the temperature to 350°F for 45 minutes.
Here is my two-tiered stalked cake image.

AH HAAA!!!  I wondered how you were able to get the pie out of the dish like you did!!  It looks perfect in your pictures but I have been scratching my head for days over how you did it!!  LOL.  My crust had to be baked in a dish along with the rest of the pie!!

Thank you all for the feedback on the custard pie. I'm going to ask the editor to read your comments and go back to the contributor to double check the amounts.


If something about any recipe just seems plain wrong, please let me know!

ABOUT THE EGG CUSTARD PIE...


The editor spoke with the chef who tests all the recipes. The chef said she made the pie and it came out fine on the first try. It is apparently supposed to have a looser consistency than a lot of pies, but it will set up a bit when it chills. She did say that the filling maxes out a 9-inch pie crust, so we're amending the instructions to say...


Mixture will fill a 9-inch pie shell to capacity; you may reserve any excess filling and bake it in individual ramekins, if desired. Bake 30 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Once cooled, refrigerate until ready to serve.


 

Dave's Banana Nut Bread
Delicious!






Thanks for the tip on fixing the links!

I've been meaning to make some banana bread for awhile, so when I saw Dave's recipe, I had to try it. It's fantastic! Here are a few of my recently accepted shots.


 


 


 


 


Thanks!

Not that you need more banana bread but you might as well have all that's available. All I've posted so far except for but the last one here have been accepted - that's in the queue and I'll be away for a few days so if it's accepted it'll be live.


 


 


 

Just to warn everyone - there's a site bug which makes your image links go dead if you edit a post; you need to redo your image links if you edit.

is THAT what it is. I've had to do searches for some images that I KNEW had been accepted the past couple of issues.

Thanks for the tip off Jean.  All of mine were accepted, so I'll do fresh links to them here.


 


 


 


 

LOL, JUST IN CASE you don't already have enough of Dave's Banana Nut Bread images to choose from....


 


 


 


 

It certainly has been a popular recipe this month! The more the merrier.

OK, so I think these are all of the rest of my images that are going to make their way through the inspection queue before the deadline on the 18th. First up is the Chocolate Cream Dessert.  OMG was this stuff GOOD!!  My son came home from school every day asking if there was any left!! Then finally there's my attempt at Jessie's Egg Custard Pie...  I had wanted to try the carrot cake too because it sounded good with the pineapple but I just sort of fizzled out on the baking thing after I finished the others.

GADZOOKS!!! Well done. So many banana breads, but, sadly, we only have room for one. My editor and I are delighted with the variety and the various compositions--lots of great contenders. Ultimately the one that came out on top is caelmi  23408871.
