⁠⁠⁠@@sparkyheberling6115 yeah and? The NYT are a business and you have to subscribe to their magazine to access a lot of their articles. I imagine Claire is paid for her work in The Times and on their channel, so it only makes sense they charge to make money back. She has an entire youtube channel that provides you with free recipes and instructional videos from her own book. If you want a NYT recipe so badly maybe… i dunno… pay for it? Her work and recipes are not a right, it is a privilege.

I live in America and Kerrygold has been the only butter I've been purchasing for the last 8 years. The price is well worth it.

@liger04 8 ай бұрын

They earned it! Most American butter brands tend to be very bland. Land O'Lakes, which is the most common brand in the US, is about as flavorless as canola oil to me so having an actual buttery butter for a small price bump is well worth it.

I will show them pictures of baked goods I have made from your book and they will craft a cocktail version of it. I showed them a picture of a chocolate raspberry tart and they made the most delicious dessert cocktail. The loved it so much they put it in their drink bible and let me name it, which I named “what’s for dessert” for obvious reasons! Hope that’s ok and hope you get to try it one day!

I've been making pies for nearly 30 yrs and always struggled w/ the crust. How shocked I was to find my Great G-ma's crust recipe is virtually the same as Claire's, but with a few technique "tricks". Following Claire's tips, I made an apple pie for T-giving that was SO much easier to handle and came out perfectly. I will now be trying Kerry Gold butter (which Trader Joe's carries in the States, BTW!!) for my next pie crust. Thanks Claire!

@@rainey1987I use it as my universal butter. I find its flavor good enough for mass market butter when softened and eaten in bread and when chilled and cut into pastries and biscuits it performs well enough. I especially love it as a cooking butter with a little neutral oil for eggs in a stainless steel pan.

@kunimitsune177 8 ай бұрын

FYI you can use basically any british or irish butter and it will have the same effect (so long as it's not 'spreadable' or mixed with oil) - if it comes in foil like that, is yellow and says butter on the front then it's just as good (that's most butter here)

Kerrygold needed to sponsor you. Everyone on the internet knew what butter you were using, blurred or not! Get paid, girl! Lol Also, the stacking of the pie dough technique revolutionized my pie crusts. I made the pecan frangipane slab pie for Thanksgiving, and the sides looked so flaky it was almost as though I had used rough puff pastry. One of my friends that bakes was fascinated that even the bottom was flaky. I always learn something new, big or small, about baking when I watch these vids. Thanks, Claire!
