I do most of my baking with volume measurements but I know it'd be easier & more accurate to use weights. One of these days I'll make the switch....<br /><br />Great job on the crisps! They're lovely. I made this one last week too. I enjoyed it but definitely found the cranberries added a bit more tartness than I prefer. Next time I'll add the vanilla ice cream & I think it'll be perfect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131968703642650198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-32097855071555428622009-11-12T15:30:36.365-06:002009-11-12T15:30:36.365-06:00I heart my scale too.

I can't live without one so I own two, just because one measures in tenths and one in eighths. So rest assured, I think I officially qualify as being the scale freak.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185657147547217295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-20688079131189252272009-11-11T19:17:15.890-06:002009-11-11T19:17:15.890-06:00Nice looking crisp there, my friend!

I agree, it it way easier to use a scale for measuring ingredients and once you start it is hard to go back to the 'old way'.<br />We really enjoyed the crisps at my house, too.Karenhttp://shortbreadsouth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-58887595469993707552009-11-11T08:42:27.129-06:002009-11-11T08:42:27.129-06:00Looks totally delish, I love crips.

Thanks for your conversions! Your crisp looks wonderful...I am making it for the third time for this evening as the guys really like it. In fairness, however, I have only been making half sizes so that it is nice and fresh for them and they polish it all off in that size. Definitely a keeper in my section of crisp recipes...that ice cream you added just makes it look even better!Kaytehttp://www.grandmaskitchentable.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336096338851447197.post-22767147266818161852009-11-11T00:16:08.432-06:002009-11-11T00:16:08.432-06:00I loved this.

I'm not a fan of coconut but I really didn't notice it much because it went through the food processor. Maybe just an added richness, although maybe that was the butter, not sure. Wow, I'll bet it was heaven with your home made ice cream.
