Oh get your head outta the gutter will you?
Sheesh, you guys are really something else...
No, seriously.. I thought the same thing.. So yea... great minds think alike ;)
It’s Cold in NY.. Like chill you to the bone cold that we haven’t seen here in NY in 6 years. It was 6̊ here this morning.. SIX DEGREES people. (Have I mentioned how sick I am of winter yet? Oh, I have... well.. I’ll tell ya again.. I'm so sick of winter.. Winter can suck it.)
OK.. So back to the Making Whoopie part of this post.
It was cold yesterday, so I do what I like to do when it’s cold ... I cook.. And I bake.
So I had the crockpot going with dinner, I had chicken in the oven for tonight’s dinner and when the chicken was done I decided I’d take a stab at making Whoopie pies. I had wanted to make them last week and didn’t for whatever reason but when I went grocery shopping on Saturday I got the ingredients I needed that I didn’t have (Butter.. How the hell I managed to run out of butter I’ll never know, I always have a pack or 2 in the freezer) and got myself situated.
Now, this recipe says it makes 12, I made 24 small ones.. Because I was taking them to work for the cretins there. (They were gone by lunchtime) They were amazing.. I actually saved 2 at home for the Kid and I tomorrow. The Kid and I each had one last night, but they’re much better if you assemble them and let them sit overnight.
I needed a recipe without shortening because I really don’t like the flavor. Someone gave me a recipe from Gourmet magazine that uses buttermilk.. I’m going to try those next. These aren’t super Chocolatey, but everyone at work really liked them.. I like a more dark chocolatey flavor though, hopefully the next time around I can master that dark chocolatey taste.
