So have you seen the show called "Nailed It"? Where people really go way off the mark on trying to recreate recipes?
I haven't actually but you get the idea - sometimes we try to make something and it just. doesn't. work.
I personally just have to laugh and channel my inner Elsa ("let it go!")
For example, I attempted a recipe called Lemon Meltaways - the recipe was all scientific - you used Tapioca Starch in place of some of the flour - you used organic powdered sugar that was tapioca based, etc. etc. blah blah blah.
Dough would NOT come together. So I added butter. Still crumbs, no dough. So I added 1 T of lemon juice. Eureka - dough! Shaped, wrapped and chilled the time called for.
Sliced and baked.
Ended up with the tastiest pile of lemony crumbs you've ever seen. These things literally disintegrated when touched - didn't matter whether I let them cool or not.
So I sprinkled the crumbs with powdered sugar and ate them with a fork right off the cookie sheet. Before tossing the rest of the dough in the trash!
So disappointing!!!!
Anyone else have a similar story to share?
