Honey, I forgot the vegetable oil! (& other Missed Ingredients for Recipes)

[daveamkrayoguy]

My latest liquor-filled-Bundt® Cake & a small folly:

 

Stirred the vegetable oil into the cake mix, about 4-min. into the baking time w/ 46-minutes left... --After realizing that the measuring cup tasted like watered down Jim Bean Red Stag Black Cherry Bourbon Whiskey, and wasn't all filmy & bland w/ Wesson Oil...!

 

Peeked at it to see it rising normally--also panicky that I'm hurrying things a little, watching the time...! Result?

 

(Am I not infallible? --Keeping my fingers crossed...)

You're not alone.  I've occasionally  forgotten things like adding yeast or salt to bread dough or an ingredient in stew, particularly when I'm doing it in the pressure cooker an it's up to pressure. Thing is I usually have all the ingredients out before I start and lined up in order and then that happens.

1/4 cup of mayo . . .

= 1 egg in batter recipes in a pinch.

Tried it in pancakes when we ran out of eggs. If you didn't tell anyone, they'd never know.

Who hasn't forgotten something in a recipe

So I try to practice what Chef Ann Burrell Preaches:

Mise en place, Mise en place, Mise en place.

 

It's at least helpful to have everything all measured out makes it more difficult for me to forget to put it in if I see it on the counter.

Anxious I was, for the cake to finish...  And here it is:

 

Stirred in the added/missed-ingredient, and after anxiously watching it rise as it baked, it came out of the pan & tasted great!
