New pyramid pan recipe

[snowbunny]

Last time I made pyramid pan treats I threw my blender on the floor in a fit of rage* and it broke. I needed to make some more, so thought I'd try an experiment. Fish and vegetable baby food, that dog-awful powdered "cheese for pasta" that tastes like vom, eggs, flour and milk. Whisked together to a batter-like consistency, poured into the pyramid pans and microwaved. First time trying that instead of the oven, too. Had to cut my trays up a bit to fit them in, but it only took 3 minutes a batch, which is a bonus. I now have a lovely bag of tasty pyramids. They're quite tasty, and the dogs like 'em too!

*This is a lie, but it sounds more impressive than, "I dropped it on the floor because I'm a klutz".

You have an interesting sales pitch there.....

Oh, but doesn't it, though?! I remember we always had tubs of that "Parmesan" when we were kids, and it was fine on spag bol, but if you try it without - vom. I had no idea what real Parmesan tasted like! I've not tasted it in years, but one little pinch brought the suppressed memories flooding back!

 

[Jacqui-S]

True, it took me years to brave fresh parmesan because of "the fear".

What are pyramid pan treats? And you cut up the pans?

 

[snowbunny]

It’s a silicone mat that’s designed for putting food on (pointy side up) to reduce fat. But if you flip it up the other way, you can fill it with your batter and it makes millions of teeny pyramid-shaped treats

Cool! I’ve seen silicone mats, but not pointy ones like that!

 

[snowbunny]

I've also bought some silicon mini ice cube trays to make something a little bigger. They've not arrived yet, but I'm interested to see how they turn out

See, I’m so pleased you’ve explained this! Whenever I read ‘pyramid pan’ I was always picturing a big steel pyramid-shaped tin structure that people balanced upside down in the oven. So when you said you’d trimmed it down, I was picturing tin snips, angle grinders and all sorts. The reality is a LOT more simple!

‘God awful, tastes like vom’. Tatze says yumeeeeee!

Pffft, I was on my phone when I put this link on, so I just pulled up the first link on Google from Amazon. I love the description.

I thought it was a scheme where you made your friends make them and they then made their friends make them, then they made their friends make them, then they etc. etc. ....

Just made my first batch of these, thanks @snowbunny Fiona ! I mixed a tin of sardines with egg and flour , poured it in and levelled with a knife , lots and lots and lots of treats and the dogs love them , thank you ! Do you reckon they need keeping in the fridge ? ( in a container `cos they stink !)

 

[snowbunny]

I tend to freeze mine and use them straight from the freezer! But I have kept them in a container on the counter for a couple of days with no issues.

 

[Shaz82]

I bought a couple of pyramid sheets when I read this thread but haven't used them yet, so I've just printed out Fiona's suggestions and I AM going to give it a go! Soon!

I've kept some (same recipe) in a little Tuppaware for weeks, no problem. I keep the bulk of them in the freezer. I must make some more.
