Two Famous Products Made In NC Coming Together To Make A Delicious New Product
There’s just something delicious about two internationally known products, both made in North Carolina, coming together for a national rollout.
Krispy Kreme was founded some 86 years ago in Winston-Salem and is now headquartered in Charlotte. Lotus Bakeries, meanwhile, is a 91-year-old Belgian company that makes its popular Biscoff cookies in Mebane. According to WSOC TV, the pair recently announced the launch of three new doughnuts that combine Krispy Kreme and Lotus products for the first time.
Starting last week, Krispy Kreme began offering for a limited time the Biscoff Doughnut Collection at its shops across the U.S., combining its own Original Glaze with Lotus’ Cookies and Cookie Butter, known for its caramelized cookie taste. The Biscoff cookies are known worldwide, especially among travelers accustomed to getting them on airline flights.
No Egg Baking List Of Best Substitutions For Eggs Amid Soaring Prices
No doubt you know about the soaring prices of eggs lately. The spike is attributed to large nationwide outbreaks of avian flu. Subsequently, prices rise, and now eggs might even be harder to find. This has resulted in North Carolina-based Harris Teeter limiting egg purchases. This hits consumers hard when it comes to everyday meal prep. However, it really takes a toll on businesses that rely on large numbers of eggs every day. This situation affects restaurants and bakeries in particular. If only we had a no egg baking list of substitutions to use. Just wait and see! According to WSOC, bakeries such as Gaston County’s “Cake Me Away” feel the pinch hard. The Dallas, North Carolina bakery uses about 600 eggs per week making their desserts. Owner Brittany Pressler says they spend nearly $600 a month just on eggs. And, the spike means a rise in their prices on specialty cakes. However, Pressler indicates customers have been understanding. After all, rising prices these days affect everyone.
So, how do we deal with the problem in the meantime? For the short term, many will likely cut down on their typical egg consumption. And, some folks might be lucky enough to have access to their own chickens and fresh eggs. In fact, WSOC reports 10-year-old Rylen Robbins in Dallas has a homemade chicken coop supplying the family eggs. He says one of their best customers is a baker. But, if you don’t have your own chickens, is their another option? Well, for the home baker, these no egg baking substitutions can work in a pinch. And, the swaps might be more plentiful and even a little cheaper. Obviously these won’t be practical for the commercial bakery. Although, for the rest of us it might be worth exploring. Here’s a list of best egg substitutions if you’re “scrambling” for a temporary solution. Go to healthline.com to see a complete list.
