Spoon bakes somes spoons.

I haven't baked in a while at home as things have been a little hairy the past week and a bit. My Grandma died so I have been busy helping my family as well as juggling work. That being said we also got cookies and sqaures from sympathetic friends as well as I baked a big batch of muffins that I kept in the freezer so I had no reason to bake. Today after three hours of ridiculous shenans I made some mock sticky buns and cracker spoons.

The sticky bun recipe called Cream Cheese-Topped Mock Sticky Buns came from The New Best of BetterBaking.com again and really resembles the Sticky Chewy Cinnamon Sticks I made before non? These ones as the book describe though are more of a scone in texture and they're shaped like a muffin. After lifting one of them up to see if they filled the cups or not, I found that the bottoms were all sticky like a sticky bun (and thanks to crap muffin liners from the dollar store) and they had leaked/overflowed.

I put in some candied cherries for colour as well as the raisins and as we do not have cream cheese I will make a quick brown sugar glaze and call it a day. If they taste anything like they smell, I'll be in business. These have serious potential.

As my title states "Spoon bakes some spoons" you're probably wondering how can a spoon bake a spoon? I have some pretty quirky nicknames one from my father being Spoon which he commented on while I was rolling and cutting them out. Why am I making cracker spoons? Because for work my boss was wondering if we could make them for catering so I went lurking about and used the recipe Crisp Semolina Flatbread from Wild Yeast.

I made four different kinds: sesame, plain with seasalt and cracked pepper, roasted tomato and olive, and fig and almond. I rolled the dough then using a couple of different shape and size spoons (one being an Asian soup spoon) cut them out with a knife, put them on their respective spoons, brushed them with a little oil, a little salt, into the oven and out comes the spoons.

I have to admit, my first couple were so ugly that you can't help but love them and want to eat with them because you pity their apearance. The verdict-while they look cool and would be neat to use if you were having a party or something they're labour intensive. I need a pasta machine to roll them out even thinner and more quickly. Do they make spoon shaped cookie cutters because that would help me not wanting to cry.
