Baking and Boozing, Ep. 6

Episode 6: Rolling With The Homies


What a rollercoaster this episode turned out to be! We laughed, we cried (not really, but we did learn a valuable lesson about baking at altitude, and about my math skills šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø) but most importantly, we had a blast together!



A note about the flour incident that we had due to my terrible conversion: the correct amount of flour to use for this recipe is 90g, but I left the recipe as the one we used in the video because it turned out well for me, even though some of my streusel sank. Itā€™s up to you if you want to chance it with the way I made the recipe, or if you want to use the intended 90g.


If you are baking at altitude, start by adding an additional 15g of flour for 3500 ft., then another 15g more for every 1,000 ft above 3500.


For Hadley at 7,000 ft, she would have added an additional 67g for this recipe.


Show your work:

15 g for the first additional 3500 ft above sea level,

plus 15 g x 3 [for the 3,000 ft]

plus 7 g for the 500 ft

=67 g
