Dush's Doozies
A cook along series using Spaces (here on Farcater)
Space 1: October 31, 2026 at 10 am ADST (1:00 pm UTC)
The series will be me cooking recipes I found in my mother's old recipe can. Some of which I remember, a handful of which I've made but most from before my time, when she had more time. 😊
There will be a maximum of 92 Spaces over the next few months as I complete this little "ode to my mum" project because there were 92 recipes in the box. There's a good chance I won't be making all of them, but there won't be more Spaces than 92.
After the first Space, the schedule will be every Monday, Thursday and Saturday until I'm done. Same time as the first one. I'll share the recipe and ingredients/equipment needed a day beforehand for those who want to bake along with me.
Everyone in attendance will be invited on stage if there are questions or comments or chatter but there's no requirement to talk if you don't want to! Hubby offered to monitor any comments for me, if there are any. Good man. 😏
First up? Yum Yums 😋
When I first read the recipe card, I thought it said Gum Gums, ngl. Spript is hard. My oldest sister corrected me with much laughter. 🙄
Yum Yums are a sweet squares treat. Very easy to make and absolutely delicious.
If you want to bake along with me tomorrow, here's what you'll need:
1. an oven (or toaster oven big enough to hold an 8x8 square pan)
2. an 8x8 square baking pan or equivalent (I'm using an 8" pie plate)
3. 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar (1/2 for the base, 1 for the topping)
4. 2 eggs, separated (yolks for the base, whites for the topping)
5. 1 1/2 cups flour
6. 1/2 cup butter
7. 2 tsp baking powder
8. 1/2 tsp salt
9. 1 tsp vanilla
10. 1/2 cup of nuts (I'm using chopped pecans)
11. A stand mixer or a hand mixer, both will be fine.
12. A medium sized mixing bowl.
13. Parchment paper (optional)
"Dush" and "Doozies" explained in a reply.
First Spaces link will be cast soon to set a reminder.
I hope to see at least one participant but, if not, the Space will be recorded and you can bake at your own leisure.
