Baking Followup
I did finish up the planned baking from last weekend. The chocolate-chip cookies turned out beautifully. The apple-buttermilk scones are awesome. I ran into a problem with the peach and oat muffins, though. Either my oven is considerably off, or the recipe understates the amount of time needed to bake the muffins. I took them out after the maximum suggested time, and they were still squishy in the center when I checked a few minutes later. I ended up putting them back in the oven to see if they’d finish up, and while the centers got nice and firm, the bottoms got overdone at best and burnt at worst. I had a similar problem with the pear gingerbread being underdone, but that doesn’t tell me whether my oven is off, or the book. I suppose a decent oven thermometer will have to settle the issue. However, should you decide to acquire a copy of Morning Bakes, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
