Great British Bakeoff! But American! Wednesday, March 12, 2025
Did Steve need to be wearing a bright green sweater today? No, but he was Irish American and getting into the spirit of the upcoming holiday. "Today we're doing Irish baking!"
"After we judge your shave ice, we'll get into the signature challenge of... shortbread. You can flavor it any way you want so long as it's rich and buttery," Tony said as he grinned. "Maybe go with something green to impress Captain Rogers here."
"Please don't use kale," Steve added immediately.
"...I didn't even think that was an option." Tony clearly hadn't gone to enough hipster places. "Either way! After that, we want you to make a... Barmbrack." Because in no way could he pronounce the actual name for it.
"Irish cinnamon raisin bread," Steve said. "To speed the recipe up, we tell you to microwave the raisins with the hot tea instead of having them steep overnight."
"That sounds really good, actually. Even if I'm more of a coffee drinker." Understatement of the year. "But that will be followed up by a very special challenge for you to bring us next week."
"Think...decorative pie," Steve said, nodding.
