What is the most recent thing you have made from scratch? I just made homemade fresh pumpkin pie. If anyone wants the recipe, just let me know.

I made salisbury steak and mashed potatoes for dinner last night. I don't bake.... well once in this unrequited love situation I made these cookie bars but I just felt sad and pathetic.

I make things from scratch all the time. Last thing I baked, though? I made chocolate chip cookies last week. And soon, I have to start creating my brother's wish for Thanksgiving (he's a chef but not a baker). He wants a sweet potato bourbon pie with candied walnuts and ginger. It's become my job to create a recipe. I'm gonna need a lot of sweet potatoes, I think, I've never even had a sweet potato pie

I made Pumpkin bread in the bread machine, it didn't cook enough so I had to put it in the oven to finish. I have had this problem both times I tried the quickbread cycle, anyone have a tried & true pumpkin or bananna quickbread for a machine?

Snickerdoodles, Chocolate Chip cookies, and Bachelor Buttons.

I thought it was my old oven at first, but now I have a different better one and they still never cook enough. Do you have a solution for this? Is it my pans maybe?

It's probably not your pans, but your recipe. I would cook it at a slightly lower temp for a longer period of time. If it browns too much, you can always cover it with foil until it's cooked through. I have an amazing apple cake recipe that is incredibly temperamental. If it's too hot, cold, humid, dry, too many apples, not enough, too juicy apples, too big or too small pieces, well, you get my point. Some recipes are just like that

If I get it out of a box and I have to mix anything with it, then its scratch to me...

If you are baking in your oven I agree lower the temperature & bake it longer. The bread machine has a timed cycle, & shuts off before my bread is done. I am thinking about trying to cut the recipe down by 1/3. Since it calls for 3 eggs, 3 cups of flour & 1 1/2 cups of pumkin I think I could do this easily. I am going to try this is the morning. Anyother suggestions would be appreciated. The bread machine works great for yeast breads.

Some recipes are just like that It's happened with a lot of recipes, so you're basically saying it's ME. Thanks for the tip on lowering the oven temp and then putting the foil on. I'll try it. But if I make perfect banana bread or pumpkin bread loaves, and eat them all, and then can't roll myself out the door the next day, I'm blaming you.
