but then, thankfully there were enough reviews out there that steered me away, everyone complained of the cakes being too dry, no matter the recipe.
in my head, i have been stuck on making whoopie pies for some time now. i don't know why, i think the closest i've ever come to actually eating one was a devil dog.
do they even count?!?
my go-to food website of all-time is epicurious. when i started getting too cheap to buy bon appetit, i went to the website instead...plus, gourmet is on there, too.
i found a recipe with great reviews.
whoopie pies.
the recipe asks for buttermilk. i know most people don't have this in their fridge, so what you can do is add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. i did this and they still turned out great.
they turned out beautifully. and may i add...they are huge!! my dd thinks she's going to get one all to herself.
i'm bracing myself for her disappointment.
besides adding sprinkles or something fru-fru like that...the only way i can think of to make this st. paddy's day-ish is to add green food coloring to the icing.
store them in the fridge, take out 10 minutes before you plan on eating them.
if you give these a try, lemme know what you think.
(do not...i repeat, do not drink these without a glass of milk. check your fridge before you indulge.)
have a happy day!
