This was super yummy. My husband was skeptical but we're all fans now. I only did half a recipe to try it and used cream bought from a regular grocery store. I think I'll use the good stuff from the local creamery next time and see if I get a little more clotted cream out of it since it'll have more fat solids. Now to learn how to make scones. :)
I made it as is and then made a small cup of it to taste it before I put it in containers to gift to my family. I agree with the reviewer that said it was too watery...it really was. Granted, I did use the cheaper brand cocoa, but it wasn't sweet enough either. I ended up increasing it to about 2-2.5 cups by the end and I think I added something like another cup of sugar. I also added just a bit of salt...I find that helps too. It's still not MY cocoa (just 2 to 1 ration of sugar and cocoa mixed with hot milk, sometime 3:1 ration if I want it sweeter), but considering I was needing a lot of it I chose to do the mixes with the powdered milk. It might be okay mixed with milk instead of water, but I still feel it needed more cocoa to be called hot cocoa. I found another recipe with 2c powdered milk, 2c powdered sugar, and 1c cocoa and I'm thinking I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow, maybe with 1/2 c creamer too (it's double the sugar and cocoa of this recipe, which is pretty much what I ended up doing anyway).
A little less Worcestershire sauce and sugar imo. The flavor was fantastic otherwise. I just added some more mayo and ketchup to tone down the other two ingredients this time around.
I really enjoyed them. My boys and husband still prefer regular orange rolls, but they liked these too. I did, however, check my orange roll recipe and see how much zest it called for, which was 2 oranges' worth instead of 1 TBSP, so that is what I ended up doing because I wanted a more orangey flavor and I'm glad I did. I also put more orange juice (the full squeezed orange) in the cranberry sauce and just let it reduce a little more. And because I love cream cheese frosting I added 2 oz of cream cheese to the glaze posted here and it was delicious!
Pretty good, but mine needed more salt. I'm also not sure if my thermometers weren't working or not but mine seemed too dry at the recommended internal temperature. I didn't have any ground pork, like I thought I did so I also did all beef so that probably made a difference too. I'd try this again with the pork.
