Kitchen Experiment: Edible Mask

Just in time for Halloween I get this brainstorm to make a mask that I can eat at the end of the night.

What I did:
Made pastry dough and put it over a form made from foil mixed peanut butter and cream cheese with honey and cinnamon spread it on and used raisins for the eyes and a prune for the snout. I was aiming for a coyote it kind of worked. For a first attempt it’s good.

Obviously you can do almost any sort of mask this way. The challenging part is finding the support for the dough during baking. Also, if you want to add strings to it you may have to think about reinforcing the outer rim of the mask.

Note: try to roll out the dough in one sheet. I ended up patching this one together and it didn’t separate from the foil how I wanted it to.

Enjoy!

Kitchen Experiment: honey wafers

I was reading Ezekiel, the performance artist prophet who made that weird bread, and there was a line about "fine flour, olive oil, and honey" that got me thinking wafers. So I invented this recipe.

Note: these things bake really fast don't leave them unattended in the oven.

Preheat oven to 350F(ish, the numbers on my dial are rubbed off)

ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/8 cup olive oil
salt
honey
water

In a bowl mix flour, salt, and oil as if making pastry. Add water slowly to form a soft dough. Divide into small balls, roll them out thin. Place on baking sheet. Drizzle with honey. Bake for up to 5min but watch them your goal is to have them crisp not burnt! Enjoy.

These make a good vehicle for fruit or ice cream.
