Butter Count #6

Surprisingly, I didn’t really bake much around the holidays. Usually I make a few batches of Christmas Cookies but alas, 2011 didn’t call for it. Sad though - I didn’t quite make 100 tablespoons of butter these past two months - almost though.

 Caramelized Pineapple Scones & Cranberry Oatmeal Scones

First time making these the pineapple ones, and they have the right consistency due to the extra liquid from the pineapples. I thought caramelizing them would have evaporated enough liquid, but they turned out fine anyway - more muffin-like than scone-like but I think they were well received.

Tablespoons used: 5 tablespoons and 10 tablespoons, respectively

Running total: 314 tablespoons of butter

Winter Wonderland Cake

I make this cake every December at least once. It’s usually a chocolate cake and peppermint cream cheese frosting, but this year instead of doing regular chocolate I made it with red velvet. And yes, I have pastry boxes.

Tablespoons used: 12 for the cake, 4 for the frosting

Running total: 330 tablespoons of butter

Pot Roast, Cauliflower Soup, Risotto Primavera & Molten Lava Cakes

Since I had the day off, I decided to make a fancy dinner one night. Cut a crazy amount of veggies as shown below.

Tablespoons used: 

3 for the pot roast
8 for the soup
5 for the risotto
8 for the cakes 

Running total: 354 tablespoons of butter

Raisin Bran Muffins + Blueberry Muffins

I forgot how much I love raisin bran muffins - they are so delicious with butter (what isn’t really). 

Tablespoons used: 6 and 4, respectively

Running total: 364 tablespoons of butter

Raspberry Oat Bars

Tablespoons used: 16 tablespoons

Running total: 380 tablespoons of butter

Mocha Cinnamon Scones + Bacon Cheddar Scones

Tablespoons used: 5 per recipe

Running total: 390 tablespoons of butter

So good
