    BBBEEENNN!!!! I must admit I currently have embarked on a "try all of Ben Starr recipes" I really started with your sough dough recipes because I am new to the sourdough world and I enjoy your videos and methodology so much. BUT now I just find myself making everything you have on your channel! Please keep making more videos so I can keep experimenting! I really am enjoying your videos, explanations and baking all these recipes!

    That’s an awesome recipe, Ben! My son loves a key lime pie and I make it for him time to time, using both types of key limes. As to the topping made of sour cream and sugar, I love it since my childhood. I still make it for a cake called Medovick, which is a layered cake made with honey, and topped with whipped sour cream with regular white sugar. Yum! I also add lemon zest to it. Thanks again for the wonderful recipe, I’m looking forward to making it! 😍😋

    • @ultimatefoodgeek
      @ultimatefoodgeek  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Well, this filling calls for sweetened condensed milk...which you can MAKE using milk and honey, but it's a royal pain to do so. You can simply eliminate the sugar in the crust and it will be fine...the cookies are modestly sweet. But if you're using MY recipe, there's no "sugar" in the filling ingredients because it's already incorporated in the sweetened condensed milk.

    Hi I found your video about camp pot luck. Is it still going on. I for sure thought that I was going to start this camp pot luck thing this year. Completely unaware that it had been done before. I will only be cooking tacos and BBQ meats. That's what I do every year at the burn. But this year I was going to start camp pot luck. As of now it was only going to be a member of one person. Did camp pot luck end? I don't know why but I love feeding people. It is what fuels my burn. I also take a paleta cart and give out paletas. About 500 paletas.

      Pot Luck is no longer on the playa. We sold our container and gear to Suspended Animation. I went in 2022 to support Art Builds out of San Diego and cooked for their team during build week. Pot Luck required the efforts of SO many people, and we had many amazing years on the playa, but we had to retire. I would love for the spirit to live on!

      @@MothraVsTheWorld 😂 No! That is accomplished through the complicated, finicky, high hydration techniques that require lots of stretches and folds and slaps and strength building throughout fermenation and require you to maintain an active, regularly-fed starter ... the exact opposite of what I teach.

      Yes...please put comments on the appropriate video, if you can! 7 quart Dutch will work. But if your bread is overhydrated, it will spread out and be flat. If that happens, watch Troubleshooting Simple Sourdough at the 6 minute mark to fix your starter.

    Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream for this recipe? Yogurt offers nutritional benefits and has a similar consistency to sour cream. Also like sour cream it is a flavor enhancing booster. But I’m not sure about the food science so thought I should ask before messing with the recipe. Wondering if there is a reason why one over the other. Thanks!

    • @ultimatefoodgeek
      @ultimatefoodgeek  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yogurt is simply low-fat sour cream, fermented at a higher temperature. You can substitute it in this recipe just fine, the recipe won't be QUITE as rich as with the sour cream, because the overall fat content will be lower. Because this pie is baked, the nutritional benefits of the live active cultures are neutralized...just as they are with sour cream, which also has nutritious probiotics.

    While your history of the graham cracker is accurate, what we call a graham cracker today is FAR different from the version invented by Sylvester Graham which would have been minimally sweet and was actually more of a bread (made with yeast) from what I've read.
    I personally like graham crackers, especially homemade ones and think they make great crusts.

    Oh dear. I've really been enjoying your recipes. The "lazy sourdough" series was a game changer. But now I have to take everything you say with a milligram of salt because of that collosssly stupid thing you just said about graham crackers. Your Biscoff crust may be better, but that doesn't change the fact that the taste and texture of a graham cracker crust is a gajillion times better than a pastry crust. That's why everybody loves a graham cracker crust, it is LITERALLY the BEST crust you can buy.

    • @ultimatefoodgeek
      @ultimatefoodgeek  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      UNTIL you've done a Biscoff crust, in which case you'll find a Graham cracker crust to be bland and boring. The reason everybody "loves" a Graham cracker crust is because it comes off the shelf from the grocery store ready to eat, even without baking. It's cheap and easy. (And boring...once you've tasted something FLAVORFUL for a change!)
