Last week I made GF cardamom buns as part of my Easter dinner. But I had a first pass where I put the psyllium husk into the dry ingredients instead of the proofed yeast & milk (where it would gel). I held onto that batch of dry ingredients and salvaged it yesterday.
The buns came out well, but spread quite a lot. They still had a good texture and density, so I don’t know how much my psyllium oops was a factor.
Still learning GF yeasted baking.

24.3 kWh production, another new record. The days are getting longer and the sun is getting higher, but the monsoon season keeps breaking up streaks of high production with heavy rainstorms.
We might get up to an inch of snow ovenight into tomorrow which will probably hurt my numbers until it melts, if any of it sticks (the panels and roof are probably warmer than the ground, so it may just melt on contact)
