You hand kneading the dough with the kneading hook literally on the mixer was a beautiful moment

[@selmasaadi5466]

I thought the same 😂

[@alexmuffles7431]

It's the metal whisk on the non stick pan for me 😅

[@michelleburchfield1420]

Yeah I agree!!

They looked amazing! You could try Japanese Soufflé Pancakes. Or a selection of different pancake types, from crepe to scotch.

[@safaaaaaaaaa]

please can you make macarons next? theyre hard to make but also very your aesthetic and i think you can make frog shaped macarons which makes it harder!!!

[@alysker]

Never understood people saying theyre hard. I never bake anything except for macarons every once in a while and theyve never failed, they are sooo easy!

[@samsamsoup]

@@alyskerso true the hardest part is probably getting the round shape right??

[@addyyy077]

omg i love making macaroons!! BUT PLEASE I NEED MAMA MAPLES TO ALSO COOK WITH YOU SHES SO FUNNY!!! 🩷🫶🏼

[@alysker]

@@samsamsoup can be hard but if you have trouble with it I've heard of people piping inside of round cookie cutter shapes to get them all even!

[@SarcasticaleeXP]

@@alysker I've baked many things before, but I tried to do this twice as a teenager and it was and absolute fail. I wish it was easy for me cause they are pretty expensive,I'm glad you got it down tho.

[@KopiAisIkatTepi]

"I have a bit of dough in mine" "That's custard!" Gosh mama maples is so freaking hillarious & adorable. She's always trying to be optimistic 😂

[@Gregtech123]

This was just a ploy to make everyone hear Mia say "melk" a billion times

[@JoanieBowers]

😂 to funny 😅 Melk

[@jackielowrey3032]

I can’t 😅

[@amyjune8329]

Strawberry Cannolis! 🎉

[@karamarkham5682]

When they said to "swirl" the sugar it means to literally swirl it in the pan instead of stirring it. When you stir it, it creates a nucleation point for crystals to begin forming. That's why that disc of sugar crystals formed on top. I'm glad you were able to save it and the end product looked great!

[@_bebeboudeur_]

wait, what's the difference? i thought both meant like doing circles with your spatula in the pan (english isn't my first language)

[@karamarkham5682]

@_bebeboudeur_ when you stir you put the utensil in the mixture and move it around. Swirling is picking up the pot and moving the mixture around by tilting it in a circular motion. It's hard to e plain, but hopefully that helps!

[@ThatGirlYouKnow97]

The recipe: doing exactly what it said it would Mia: I was NOT expecting this! 😁

[@dasha_ucko]

As someone who has failed many a recipe I definitely felt that lol

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

I know but I've always known starch aka corn FLOUR as a thickening for gravy and sauces lol. So I find it funny that mama maples says there's no flour in it so how will it thicken 😅😂😂

[@theresonising]

multi-tasking while watching and I had to rewind that part bc I missed the ingredients for the custard. Heard eggs. Thickening agent. Heard CORN STARCH. Two thickening agents, babe! XD

[@moriahhart2117]

Mia: *fills the doughnuts* Mia 5 minutes later: “They have filling!!”

[@the.sheeb.]

As someone who went to school for baking and pastry arts this was killing me 😂 Using cold milk with your yeast Whipping the dough around in the mixer Leaving milk on the hot stove ☠️ POURING HOT MILK DIRECTLY INTO THE EGGS WITHOUT TEMPERING I GASPED. I don't know how they didn't end up cooking 🫠 Metal whisk in the non-stick pan 😮‍💨 The caramel getting all over I'm... I'm amazed and glad they worked out for you!

[@Creepymusic782]

I didn’t I just do it for fun but I measure everything super precise and look up every possible anomaly beforehand so I feel your pain XD

[@jenniferharlow4603]

SAME! I was like, there’s no way these will turn out but they kinda did?… lol fun to watch at least! Also, the smallest amount of oil for cooking the donuts 😂

[@cspat1]

When you poured that hot milk in those eggs I was yelling noooooo Mia , and because it was you there was no scrambled eggs in your custard ? lol We witnessed a kitchen miracle!

[@Joy.Elizabeth]

@@cspat1 right!! i was yelling the same n was shocked! esp bc I've done it slowly n still ended up with scrambled eggs occasionally.

[@rachelparker7714]

Yesssss I went to school for baking and pastry too and I was getting anxiety from it 😂

[@BrittanyLee12]

For future reference if you want to make sure your doughnuts aren’t doughy on the inside try frying them at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time the outside won’t burn as fast and the inside cooks evenly! 😊

[@ria2335]

As a baker you guys being so excited and surprised when the custard thickened was sooo delightful ❤😂

[@biancajingles2690]

I just made some pastry cream for a fruit tart and it took like 10 minutes of constant whisking until it thickened, what an arm workout 😂

[@NicoleHerrickDIY]

Oh my gosh I love this one. Just you and Mamma Maples doing some good ole fashion extreme baking. It’s the droppin dough, dirty tea towels, cooling on the register and not giving a crap that makes you so relatable and true to who you are. Love watching you and the fam live life happily.

[@malikasolan22]

Extreme baking 😂😂 that’s a good way of putting it 😭

[@brittanylawless680]

and staining the counter with spilled vanilla XD

[@tiamo543]

for future reference the reason you mix the milk, sugar and yeast is so you can activate the yeast :D also corn starch is the thickening agent in the custard

[@pcbassoon3892]

Will it work with cold milk? The recipe saying it needs to foam makes me think it should be cold, but the yeast makes me think it should be warm.

[@tiamo543]

@@pcbassoon3892 since she used oat milk I’m not sure. Regular milk should be warm or room temp though. Maybe since it’s oat it fed the yeast better or maybe it was actually room temp since it was sitting out for a bit

[@shawnsisler3743]

Eggs are a thickener too. lol So between the corn starch and eggs it most definitely was going to thicken up.

[@tiamo543]

@@shawnsisler3743 very true.

[@annafrances6909]

I’ve never had to add cornstarch to custard. The eggs do the job. I was worried that she didn’t pour the finished custard through a mesh strainer to get out any micro lumps. Glad it still turned out well!

[@tonimfuller]

Love your videos! Little baking tip - you need a LOT more oil for frying donuts! That's why they got so dark before they were cooked in the middle (also probs needed a lower temp). It seems wasteful/excessive, but if the donuts don't have enough oil to float with at least a couple of inches between them and the bottom of the pan, you will overcook the outside and have raw inside. You can always put the oil into an empty container to reuse for another time/something else. Hope that helps for next time! But....I'm SUPER impressed at your first attempt at caramel and custard! Not easy to do and they both looked great!

[@Madison_Valleywoods]

You should try japanese jiggly/cotton cheesecake or the raindrop cake!

[@kassiddyavery2593]

JIGGLY CHEESECAKE I CAME HERE TO SAYY IT YESSS❤❤❤

[@doublea6252]

I almost had a HEART ATTACK when she had the scalding melted sugar pan with the handle haging over the edge of the counter and started doing gymnastics!!!!😮😮 I am so glad she didn't bump the handle and have hot syrup fly onto her!!!😭💛 She did an amazing job on the donuts!

[@kellalizard]

M E L K Mia making a note of the fact her countertops aren't food safe and then immediately dumping the dough back out onto the countertops to roll and cut it :')

[@debbiepalmer1094]

There was wax paper down on the countertop when she rolled the doughnuts out.

[@smolsmol1159]

I love watching these videos because i was abused by my mom,and part of the abuse was at its peak when i would want to make myself food,she would be screaming,hitting me,cursing me,and taking charge not allowing me to do anything,im 26 and i get panic attacks when i try to make food in the kitchen.watching this video helps me see what a healthy mother-daughter relationship is like,and that making stains on a counter isnt going to kill nobody,and doesnt mean you should yell at someone or hit them or forbid them from making food because they stained something. These kinds of videos make me very happy and shift the way i look at making food,kind of wiring my brain to associate making food with something positive,so yay❤ you two are lovely❤

[@lauranlabelle6239]

When was about 11 I tried to make Dad's fave lemon meringue pie for his birthday. I'd been baking for a few years but'd never tried a meringue pie. The crust and meringue were perfect but the lemon filling didn't thicken up. Arghhh! I let Dad cut the "perfect" pie and he had lemon soup.

[@clambersc3917]

5:45 I think it thickens because of the eggs and sugar! The eggs cook slightly, so its just like when you bake an egg, except it doesn't actually cook all the way. I think sugar kind of works like gelatin but on a way smaller level. Maybe it thinkens a bit because of the fluid evaporating, but that probably won't do much. I don't know if this is right, but that's what I think
