Would You Rather?

Baking edition

This title doesn’t give much away but I will be writing about my opinions on baking would you rather, I will be using questions from the internet and you can play along!

1. Beat eggs or separate them

I would rather separate, I hate whisking for longer than a few minutes and prefer using a machine, I know some people feel the same way. My ice cream recipe has 6 eggs you have to separate and I don’t mind it, plus I get to see how my chicken’s yolks look.

2. Cookies or cake

This one is hard, especially because cookies are so small. I think I would rather cake, only because I make it more. Ice cream sandwiches would make this question a lot harder. I mean come on, two desserts in one!

3. Overcooked or undercooked

If you bake a lot there have been times where you have done both of these. I tend to overcook my desserts instead of under but there have been a few times I have opened a cake to find batter. In my opinion, I would rather overcook something because undercooked cake is just bad!

4. Hair or eggshell

I have found both in my desserts. It’s sad to say but it’s true. That’s why I always pull my hair up when I bake, but that doesn’t stop the occasional dog hair to find its way into my food. I would rather have an eggshell because they have calcium and I know what my chickens eat. But Ewww to both of them!

5. Mousse not set or dough doesn’t rise

In this one, only one hasn’t happened. I cook gluten-free most times but my dough always rises! I would rather the mousse not be set because it’s still delicious! I have also had my pudding not set and I whisk in a little whipping cream and it’s saved!

6. Chocolate with fruit or nuts

This depends if it’s chocolate with peanut butter sign me up, but I’m not a big nut person, fruit is good with chocolate, especially strawberries, citrus, and pears! I think I will go with fruit though, who says no to chocolate-covered strawberries?

7. Stand mixer or whisk

Like I said before I can’t whisk anything for too long so I will always bake with a stand mixer unless there is an opportunity of using my hands to knead or mix… whisking is great for small tasks like pastry cream, ice cream, but for anything like cakes, cookies, or meringue I use my handy dandy paddle attachment.

Baking is one of my favorite things to do, if you also bake look in my recipes or all my posts to find a fig cake, tortillas, and more. I will post more recipes this week including a chocolate lover’s dream, the giant chocolate chip cookie 🍪…
