Oh . . . I have a great, easy and delicious dinner idea for you. This recipe has been making the rounds on Pinterest, but I believe it originated from Big Oven. This is one of those dinners that you can throw together in 30 minutes! My sweet half even gave it a thumbs up.  The […]

    Carrot cake is my favourite but I have never tried it as a cookie. My husband also doesn’t like sweet food so I almost never bake – there would be no point. On the other hand, he has an enormous appetite for savoury food so that’s what I cook.ReplyCancel

    I decided to make these tonight, I omitted the oats since neither me or the other half are that fond of them, and they turned out amazing.

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 01/20/2013 - 1:59 pm

      Hi Nicole,

      This particular recipe doesn’t require raising the dough before shaping them, however, after I shaped them,
      I let them rest for at least fifteen to 20 min. while I prepared the water/soda bath. They will puff up in the boiling water
      bath, and more as they bake.

      Hope this helps,

Last week, I decided to make Pita Bread. It’s a first for me, but seemed pretty darn simple. In case you don’t know what Pita or Pitta is . . . it’s a round pocket bread. The “pocket” in pita bread is created by steam, which puffs up the dough. As the bread cools and […]

    We’ve made our own pitas, but they didnt always get pockets in the middle, only about half the time. Do you have a trick for that? Maybe I’ll have to try your recipe. 🙂ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 02/23/2012 - 3:14 pm

      Hi Aimee,

      I’m certainly just trying Pita myself, but from what I’ve read, part of the trick to getting them to puff correctly,
      is making sure that when you roll the dough out, it is about 1/4″ thick, and that it’s even from the middle to the edges.
      Good luck….I only had one that didn’t puff right. I will try more recipes, and let you all know.

      I only used one oven as well. I had 3 baking sheets, and just placed them in once at a time. It didn’t seem to make
      a lot of difference. I only had 1 pita that didn’t puff quite right.

    This was so delicious but mine didn’t puff up. Instead they were heavier and more hardy. But don’t get me wrong, it was scrumptious! May I ask why there is no oil required in the recipie? Thinking of adding some in and trying this again. Also should I use bread flour or regular flour?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 08/12/2016 - 5:30 pm

      Hi Brock,

      Most pita breads have little oil. I often add 1 tablespoon oil to this recipe. It doesn’t hurt a thing.
      I used regular all purpose flour when making mine.

      I guess I should have been more clear on the pudding layer. It is optional, but you can also add a layer of pudding, under the junket dessert layer, or do as I did. I swirled the two layers together with a knife.ReplyCancel

My waffle iron died the other day.  It didn’t die after my waffles had baked, it decided to retire in mid-stream! I had only one option . . . buy a new waffle iron. The shiny new model is a Cuisinart, and it’s been working hard lately. Waffles?  Not Waffles. Beautiful Crispy Waffle fries . […]

    Oh my gosh….these look sooooo good. I’m drooling right now. I have always been afraid to try and cook anything but waffles in my waffle iron but I think I’m about to be brave and try these 🙂

    These look so yummy! Thanks for the idea. Growing up my mom made our grilled cheese sandwiches in the waffle iron. She would butter each side of the bread that touches the waffle iron and put cheese in the middle. It makes them crunchy! 🙂ReplyCancel

    What a fabulous idea! I was surfing yesterday looking for some last-minute dinner inspiration (and I always try your blog for some more fabulousness!) when I discovered these and KNEW we were having breakfast for dinner. 🙂 I made them on my wimpy el-cheapo waffle iron and they were great! Mine didn’t get as crisp as yours…but that could have been due to lack of patience. Either way they were yummy, fast, and so super easy. Thanks again!ReplyCancel

  • Sue Ann - 02/08/2012 - 8:52 pm

    Love the idea of doing Waffle fries….I love crispy hash browns!

    My friend (Mouli) has been working for me since the mid 1970’s. I’ve even found some of the original metal ones at Thrift stores. My Food processor lives in the closet!

    May I suggest the following pancake & waffle mix: “Golden Malted”. I first got it at Cost Plus, we live in Bay Area (CA). I have ordered it online at Amazon…it is really good!ReplyCancel

    This is such a brilliant idea!! I think this would be really yummy for breakfast. Just put it with a fried egg and a couple slices of bacon. I’m definitely trying this THIS WEEK! I wonder how it would turn out with the frozen hashbrowns? You’d probably have to thaw them first, right?ReplyCancel

    The browns are always extra crunchy when using the waffle Iron. My 1923 waffle iron has a red light in the bottom enclosed section that turns off when the waffles/potatoes are done !ReplyCancel

  • Ken G. - 03/05/2012 - 11:50 am

    Okay, here’s the deal. I was making my birthday dinner. Yes, like many I see my birthday as a chance to jump in the kitchen and have some fun. I thought these waffle iron fries would be perfect for the occasion along with a fried brussels sprouts salad and some honey-chipotle chicken that I love. Iron light goes off giving me the signal that it has reached temp, layer those suckers in and wait… and wait… and wait. Checked the very simple well explained recipe again, checked the time, figured a little longer since my waffle iron doesn’t have a heat setting, and still nothing. If I was one who used profanity, it would have been flying in the direction of “Get Off Your Butt and Bake” as at this point as everything else for my birthday dinner was ready and on the table waiting for these soggy, pale potatoes to crisp up and turn brown. Then it hit me… I checked the outlet – nothing. I’d tripped the breaker, and the light didn’t go off because it was up to temp, but because the power had gone out. Not only did I trip the breaker, but I broke the breaker. Not having time to run to Home Depot to get another, I quickly cooked the hash browns the old fashioned way and will have to give the waffle fries another go at a later date. We had a big laugh about it and enjoyed our meal. I’m sorry for sending bad thoughts your way for a few seconds when it should have been directed at my electrical system!ReplyCancel

  • Justin - 03/27/2012 - 10:28 am

    I LOVE hash browns and have been trying to adapt eating habits so I was excited to find this via pinterest. I tried last week using frozen hash brown shreds. My waffle maker is a little cheap-o model so it took longer to cook, but I was really happy, and will definitely make these again!ReplyCancel

  • Becky - 04/09/2012 - 10:36 am

    I also have a mouli that I have owned for many years. I have almost sold it in a garage sale twice but in the end couldn’t part with it. I just made these hash browns for lunch. They are awesome. I have a walmart cheap-o waffle iron so it took 8 minutes on high to cook.ReplyCancel

    So did you use a raw shredding potato? I tried this today with boiled potatoes grated and butter and they didnt brown up like yours or stay together.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 10/12/2012 - 6:18 pm

      Hi Katie,

      Yes….I just use a raw shredded potato. I don’t rinse the potatoes once they are grated, because I don’t want to lose the starch in them. They bind together much better, if you don’t rinse them. As for browning, certain varieties of potatoes brown better than others. I’m using good ol Idaho potatoes.

  • Chuck White - 11/07/2012 - 10:21 am

    I have a Cuisinart Griddle. I has top and bottom plates. One set is a griddle on one side and a grill grooves on the other side. You can also buy a set of waffle plates separately — and mine is being shipped now!

    The griddler has two settings, one for the griddle with continuous, real temperature settings, and the other set if for the grill plates graduated from low to sear.

    I’ve almost not used my stove top since buying the Griddler. Now with this recipe, I may never use it again! (just kidding, I think)ReplyCancel

  • GreySwan - 11/16/2012 - 9:03 pm

    great idea for using your waffle iron for hash brown potatoes. I’m going to try this and try using shredded sweet potatoes, too. Have you tried sweet potatoes yet?ReplyCancel

  • Tiffany - 01/03/2013 - 12:42 pm

    I have the same waffle iron, and I have made more omelettes and breakfast burritos than waffles so far. It’s amazing, and I can’t wait to try your potato recipe.
    I put one whipped egg in each waffle square, top with one slice of cheese, and finish each waffle square with another egg. I cook it on the lowest #1 setting, and they come out amazingly fluffy and ready to eat. They can easily be wrapped up in a warm tortilla with a little bit of Salsa, sour cream, and even chorizo. When I’ve made them with sausage I just dice a little bit of sausage up and put it on top the cheese before adding the second egg. Try it!ReplyCancel

  • Crystal - 06/14/2014 - 4:48 pm

    This was amazing! I made it this evening for my boyfriend and he was in love, too! I switched it up a little, though. I used fresh California cherries that I chopped and cooked down with lemon juice, sugar, and corn starch. While that cooled, I whipped half a package of cream cheese with confectioners sugar and lemon juice. I spread that over the pastry before I added the cherries. When it was done, I topped it with a lemon and confectioners sugar glaze. Best dessert I’ve ever had. Hands.Down.ReplyCancel

    I wanted to ask you about the petal pull aparts. When I made them, granted it was my first time in about 10 years using Rhodes, I made the indentation but when I bakes it,the indentation rose back up anf the jam was all over the cookie sheet and off the dough. Do you have any suggestions. My sweet husband would rather me not make that again until I get feed back…he is my personal pan scraper.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/21/2012 - 10:57 am

      Hi Tracy,

      Oh gee, I didn’t have this problem. Make sure that after the flower has risen, that you firmly depress the center of the petals again, before adding the jam or jelly. Make sure that the preserves you use isn’t runny. My jam was quite thick. Don’t over fill the centers, you can always add more after baking, and before you glaze it.
      I hope this helps…it’s so pretty and perfect to take to someone.
