Posting about sourdough in a suicide forum because I am still here.

I decided I wanted to make something damned good. I know sourdough was the joke of the pandemic but I didn't do it then. I have been trying to get used to living alone and have gotten better at baking as a result. I think I am kicking ass at it honestly. I think about the SN at the back of my drawer some days. Most days I am ok but lonely. The humera is working I don't hurt all of the time like I used to.

I love baking now, it's helped me a lot, I bake far too many cakes and sweet treats though, might have to try some sourdough.

Backstory I used to do a bit of cooking and baking before, but then my chronic pain became so bad I couldn't. All I could do was lie on the floor watching TV and I started watching a lof of the food network and baking shows, I used to dream of just making something, anything. Then I managed to recover and now I can actually do it!

Spoiler: Sugar, cake

This is a cake I made 2 days ago, It's an orange cake with lemon buttercream

Hey. I don't know what made me think about baking lol. So question... can you make a decent batter without a mixer and without a lot of hard work? I don't want to make a brick :) and I don't have any kitchen gear.

Honestly I don't know, I think it would depend on the mix but generally my answer would be yes. I tend to use a mixer, I think it just saves time though. You should just go for it, worrying about getting things wrong put me off a lot. The more you bake though the more you learn from your mistakes and most mess ups are still usually edible and taste great

Sorry I just forgot you have wrist issues, yea it might be an issue there are things you can make though that don't require much mixing. Like you can make a pancake batter from just whisking or shaking or buy ready made stuff. You can make stuff that uses more kneading, depends what you can manage

Thanks yea I guess it's all about experimenting. I'll watch some recipes on youtube and see if there's anything that matches my expectations :)
I can manage a bit of whisking :)

yea like Dot says, most cakes start with mixing sugar and butter together to like a blend. You can help this by softening or melting the butter. One thing I forgot about that requires very little mixing is Kladdkaka, like a goey swedish chocolate cake. It's really easy to make, you just make all the batter in a saucepan. You might need a cake tin with a removal bottom though but I think a shallow one would work.

Kladdkaka I made a while ago
