Which one would you rather have? Sketchy second batch (left) or beautiful first batch (right)?
So today I made a little progress on my list of things to cook this weekend. I made two trial batches of the homemade chocolate fudge sauce. The first (and more successful batch) had a little more water in it. The second, scary, gross batch had less. The recipe called for 1/4 cup of water or enough to make it stir well so I did that with the first batch. It seemed a little too runny for me. So, with the second batch, I did a little less than that. The result? Thick, fudgy like sauce. I thought it was the correct batch. Well, after checking on it after having it in the fridge for a while, the butter had separated and formed a gross layer on top of the sauce. So, I think it's safe to say I will stick to using the full 1/4 cup of water.
Next up: Lemon Square Bars
First step: mix flour, sugar, and butter to make bottom layer.
Second step: mix eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice
Lemon squares in the oven, ready to go!
Lemon squares out of the oven...not so pretty
I think next time, I will put more lemon and lemon zest. They don't taste very...lemony.
Well, until tonight (I'm sure I will do a little more cooking tonight before I go out)! Keep on cookin'!
