Literally online wh*tes are allergic to flavor or joy. Pusilanimous cowards. I put about 1/3 cup of rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest finely chopped and the resulting cookie has just barely observable flecks of herbs. Also the goofies who wrote this thing wanted it cooked at below the carmelization point the whole time tf.

Hey now, that rosemary is spicy cracker

That’s goddamn right. The Bible only talks about Jesus rising from the dead, but no one talks about Mary. Bitch got outta the ground so quick they named an herbs after her.

Rosemary will put some hair on your ass if you do it right.

Still remember my brother once made a lemon and rosemary infused vodka and did a weird Moscow Mule thing with it

Was pretty intense

I named it the Rosemary's Baby

That sounds amazing. Sous vide infusion?

I had a buddy who “learned” how to make potato vodka in Brussels. He tried to make it in a bathtub at party once. Abject Failure is too kind of a phrase to describe the results.

Someone tried dumping Kool Aid & sugar in it, thinking maybe it could be salvaged into PJ. Shit tasted like a NyQuil Colada…

Sous vide infusion?

Yeah, my brother is super into mixology so he's always making interesting stuff

He's part owner of a bar back in Milwaukee, so he's always trying new ideas out

Sent me a bottle of pineapple amaro a couple months back, was pretty good

Do you think you could achieve a similar effect with an instant pot? Always looking for quick ways to impart the flavor.

Just make a simple syrup with rosemary. Simples are easy as fuck, I made one with raspberry jam and just loaded it with spices and adding it to anything made it delicious

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yum! That sounds really good. I made dried orange peel and black pepper infused gin for holiday drinks a few weeks ago that turned out really nice. Although seeing how quickly the color bleached out of the orange made me sorta worried about what the liquor would do to me....

If you liked it you might like underberg

As a white guy when I see shit like this I turn TSP into TBSP and TBPS into 2x TBSP. If I'm going through the effort to cook I wanna taste that shit otherwise what's the point.

Come on, sugar is basically an aroma

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like a cake of some sort, so, I'd hope to goodness that the sauce/glaze/icing is flavourful enough. Otherwise this would be like eating fistfuls of drywall.

cracker "Just the way I like it."

Was it a reputable site? Lots of ai recipes floating around now, many of which are laughably bad and or dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I didn't even think to check! Except for occasional browsing-posting binges here, I don't use the internet much. So I'm not super tuned into the AI stuff. I based it off this recipe but I was mostly just double-checking some ideas I had since I make a lot of savory shortbread tart crusts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Short breads are not meant to have a lot of stuff in them. This recipe has way too many additives as is, and powdered sugar is a bad idea. Different flours may be used to alter the texture but the primary flavor is the richness of the butter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just harvest the butter that falls to the floor of the dairy shelf and then sneak it through self checkout so I wanted to mask it. Good point on the powdered sugar though, the texture was off as noted elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Well if you really wanna flavor short bread I'd recommend using oleos or other oil carried flavor. Water and alcohol also fuck up the cookie. Corn starch adds a neat mothfeel too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

it looks like a real website for sure. The ai ones look cheap and sketchy.

The picture at the top looks amazing. I might have to try it with the increased herbs as well.

Vannilla is crazy powerful. lemon juice seems like kind of placebo tho, unless its some sort of yeasty thingy *or baking soda

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Don't got vanilla. The lemon flavor came through well at the volume I put it up at. Plus I added an herbal liquer. I think I beated the butter too long because it's a little more crumbly and airy than I expected but its pretty good. Also tried to cut it while it wasn't done cooling lol. Shoulda formed cookies before I baked but I wuz lazy and needa meet my friend later.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hope you browned that butter

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

It's getting baked at above carmelization temps didn't want to lose the water.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The major recipe sites, that ai sites scrape, actually change the amount of spices in submitted recipes before their posted. The couple I've submitted have had their spices cut to a fifth of what I recommend.
