I just had a kitchen disaster. What was your worst one?

I decided to make muffins.

I can't drink milk any longer, so I made the muffins with Rice Dream instead. I used cake flour (don't know how old it was...maybe more than two years?) because that is supposed to make the muffins more light and fluffy.

I was forced to use my really, really old baking powder, because I keep forgetting to buy new.

I used paper muffin cups so I would not have a mess to clean up. I put two cups of chocolate chips into the batter to make chocolate chip muffins. I used a Pillsbury recipe, and I followed directions exactly , and they should have come out fine....but they just suck.

The muffin batter glued itself to the muffin cups. The paper on the bottom has turned to cement, and the only way to get it off is to cut it off with a steak knife. I don't have any idea how that happened.

The muffins themselves are dense like gnocchi with chocolate chips, and the outside of the tops of the muffins is actually hard and crunchy and the outside chocolate chips turned to...chocolate powder.

AND I made two dozen so I could freeze them....LOL!!!馃槣

Last night I made Triple Chocolate Brownie Surprise. Over cooked them to the point where, if I'd wanted to actually try eating them, I'd have needed a hammer and chisel to hack a chunk loose.



I'm going to try to find the story I wrote a few years ago, about a batch of cookies I baked.
I still want oneee :)

@Serenitree They sound far more delightful than my muffins, which another friend of mine suggested might be used to build a wall outside...馃槀

@Serenitree I did want to mention that I once saved three enormous loaves of banana nut bread I had made for a church function. I burned the outsides, as a friend of mine suggested my oven temperature was off, and it wasn't.

HOWEVER (and this turned out quite well) I cut off the hard burnt crusts, chopped the bread, and placed it into two enormous baking dishes, sprinkled it with chocolate chips all over, and then made a recipe for chocolate custard, using almond extract instead of vanilla, poured the cocoa milk and egg and sugar and extract mix over all, and I ended up with the most fabulous chocolate banana nut bread pudding!!!

Always do this with overcooked desserts. The milk and egg softens and saves everything you thought ruined.

@4meAndyou I could try it, I suppose, but it's all frosted.

@Serenitree Oh, well, that's done for it then. 鈽猴笍
