Tuesdays with Maxie

More Buttermilk Bread
Chinese poached chicken w/ ginger scallion sauce (香港小菜大全; HK)
Chocolate cake (WS)

Do-over with the bread, this time added flour gradually. Only about 3 cups were used and recipe called for 6!!! Turned out beautiful. I still had to tent the top after 20 min to prevent the top from charring. Divided into two balls and baked in a loaf pan. 35 min in 425 degree oven was perfect. Poached chicken is so good. Decided last minute to make chocolate cake for Sarah to welcome her back. Good recipe from WS, except I neglected to beat the yolks and sugar for 3 whole minutes so the cake ended up a bit flat. I also used a pan that was too big. Next time, maybe a 9 inch pan.
