Alton Brown is very pro-kosher or sea salt, but for me, if you're going to use them use half!!ArrrrWenchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17963605277951213571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190734524188687257.post-12108916526563962652009-01-15T00:49:51.081-05:002009-01-15T00:49:51.081-05:00Don't be so hard on yourself. So much of what we do as bakers is trial and error. They still look wonderful and I appreciate you documenting the whole experience. I goofed on my cookie recipe from earlier this week. But will be doing it again very soon. That's the good thing about baking - if you don't like your final product just make small adjustments at a time and try again.Elianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15781974730634151455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190734524188687257.post-14330680131975652672009-01-14T23:47:32.918-05:002009-01-14T23:47:32.918-05:00It's all about experimenting.

I get really worried about overmixing so when I made this recipe, I didn't ribbon the eggs and sugar. I just mixed all the flour, sugar, salt (reduced to 1/2 tsp, which I forgot to mention in my blog), baking powder together. Then I whisked the eggs, oil and water together until combined. Dumped the wet into dry and then whisked together. When whipping egg whites, I didn't add the sugar and just whipped them with the cream of tartar until soft peaks. Then fold egg whites into the mixture. I'm not sure if you want to try it again, but this is the only way of mixing that works for me so that I don't overmix.Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05497908859658953330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190734524188687257.post-17770807016512472182009-01-14T18:35:24.346-05:002009-01-14T18:35:24.346-05:00These look so good.
