bake 52: week 29- Lattice Top Peach Pie

This week we made Lattice Top Peach Pie.  I ended up making two, and the first one browned on the top a bit faster that I would have liked.  I thought I would solve that by covering the pie with foil, but then I forgot to take the darn stuff off and the pie was so soggy!  The book warned us that the lattice top wasn't just for looks- it let the juiced evaporate correctly for a firm pie.  Oops.  I kind of bombed this week.  But it was tasty!  :)

bake52: week 27- Cinnamon Rolls!

Valerie was our hostess this week and she chose cinnamon rolls!  I LOVED these and they were a hit with the family, as well.  I have a regular cinnamon roll recipe that I make- it's our tradition that we have homemade cinnamon rolls the morning of Saturday General Conferences- and so I wondered how this would be different.  

It came together quickly:

And baked up beautifully:

DELISH!  These seemed a bit denser than our traditional recipe but I really loved the texture.  I did have to add about 4 tablespoons extra flour to get the dough to come together, which seemed like a lot!  I can't ever tell if that is just normal in baking because of our elevation or if I am doing something that makes dough runny. :)  I also had to bake it a bit longer than the recipe suggested, but I have noticed my oven just runs a little on the slow side in every recipe.  All around- a great pick!

bake52: week 27-- Fresh Fruit Tart

This week for bake52 Amanda was our hostess and we made a Fresh Fruit Tart!  It was yummy, and I loved heading out to my backyard to pick fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries!  I felt like a farm mama.  Loved it.  

 Making the crust-

 Making the pastry cream-

 Baking my tart crust- do I need another package of pie weights or what? Just one isn't cutting it! :)

 Yum!  My girls were so impressed, they thought it was so pretty!!

Great pick, Amanda!  Visit her here for the recipe!
