Mine too, though it only reads out grams in even numbers.
I've converted our pizza dough recipe from cups to grams


Is he from Yorkshire?

Maybe in a past life!

When I bake bread, I measure the flour in grams. Nothing else, just the flour. That made an improvement in the "standardization" of my bread, and it turns out the same every time now.

I like using the tangzhong technique to prolong the shelf life. @bruceha2000 , I don't think I ever answered your question about it. You basically take some of the flour for the bread, add some of the water (or water and milk in my case) and make a white roux. For those who don't know what that is, you basically cook it until it forms a slurry or paste. You add that into the rest of the dough ingredients and bake it like normal. It has an amazing texture and stays very moist and fresh!

I slice the bread and freeze it in zip lock bags. I use a knife to pop the slices apart and use them as needed. They can be thawed for 15 seconds or so in the microwave or put directly into the toaster.

It lasts for about two months like that and is always like fresh baked.

Tossing this out there as a shot in the dark --- several years back I had picked up a recipe for sugar cookies from another member of an online group. Eventually the group sort of drifted apart and I lost contact with this particular person and then I lost the recipe. What was so special about this particular recipe is it called for a good deal of sour cream in the recipe and the cookies were so light and soft, like little clouds in your mouth. I remember the "dough" was very sticky and a bit harder to work with than a typical cookie dough. She had said that the recipe was her grandmother's and she was, I believe, Scandinavian (?) - so perhaps that has something to do with the differences to traditional sugar cookies? Anyway - I have searched online and have not ever found anything close, but maybe someone here has a mysterious Scandinavian grandmother who has passed down a similar recipe?

I know your post is several years old but I have my grandson Crane’s sugar cookie recipe and it has sour cream in it and everyone who has ever tasted these cookies say they’re the best ever. Tomorrow I’ll dig it out and pay it here

I’ve been to London, but nowhere else in the UK. Would love to make it back there soon though!
The pud-spo comes from watching the Great British Baking Show.
As he was pulling them out of the oven, I was narrating,

“For his Yorkshire puddings, Cody is using eggs from his backyard flock & basil from his herb garden as a garnish.”

I used my best Mel G voice impression.

If you put parchment paper between the slices it will come apart very easy.
