Hey there everypony/one! So, earlier today I made some chocolate cupcakes, and my thoughts shifted to whatever a regular person's thoughts would. I wonder what the favorite sweets of the people of The Tamriel Vault are? So today I have a simple question....
What is your favorite sweet?
Myself I looooove cupcakes! They are fun to make and usually turn out looking really nice! I also love cinnamon rolls, despite the fact I couldn't make one to save my life!
Yeah, and it´s awesome that you don´t have to bake it. All you need are bisquits, whipped sweet cream cheese, hot chocolate and banana. Basically you create a triangle from those bisquits and inside that is the cream cheese and banana - that cream cheese is holding those bisquits together. Then you pour chocolate on it and put it into fridge for 2 hours.
So I'm sorta "meh" on baked goods. I get more into things like baked or roasted fruits. So like... baked apples with maple and cinnamon, or poached pears with a little caramel drizzled on top, or roasted peaches with a brown sugar and bourbon glaze. All that stuff takes more work than I'm usually up for.
If I get a sweet tooth (which is pretty rare as I've gotten older) and don't feel like cooking I'll grab something like Red Vines or some other sort of fruity/licorice type thing.
But cinnamon rolls are so easy to make :O
They're also my favorite sweet, so here's a recipe that's easier to make!
It's the one I use, and it only takes about an hour to make them (half an hour is waiting)
500 grams of flour, 100 grams of sugar, some salt, some ginger or vanilla, some yeast (I never really measure, but it can't be more than 40 grams) and 0.3 Litres (0.08 Gallons, 10 fluid ounces, or 1.3 US cups, lel imperial measurements are ridiculous) of warm milk.
Mix it all, mash the clumps till they're all gone, then put it back in the bowl, cover it up with a towel, and wait for half an hour.
While you're waiting, grind some sugar into powder. (where I'm from everyone has a bag of powdered sugar, but meh. Cultures)
Flour the counter to keep it from sticking to the dough.
Take half of the dough, and flatten it till it's about as thick as a finger, then flatten it. (should look like a pizza)
Cover one side with butter, (about 50 grams) add cinnamon and powdered sugar on top, and roll it up.
(same for the rest of the dough)
Cut them into rolls as thick as you want them, wait fifteen minutes (cover them with a towel, make sure it doesn't touch the rolls) smear some egg over the rolls, and bake them for ten minutes at 250 degrees C. (480 F)
To finish them, mix some powdered sugar with water and put it on one side of the rolls.
Two staves (or whatever, calling them rolls is confusing) of dough is good for 20 or thirty rolls, so you can make them in the weekend and have enough for the rest of the week.
