Still picking, saving rest for tomorrow. Got a 1/2 busheltctenten said:
Drinking and picking 
I learned the art as a kid, grew up on the Chesapeake and thanks!tctenten said:
Yeah, that is the real struggle! Worst case I can still buy a pound of jumbo lump hahahahahamuskymojo said:
I don't have the willpower for that.
I'd be eating faster than I could pick, and there wouldn't be anything left for the burgers.
I was thinking about some shoestring onions, originally, because a number of folks said they dug them recently and I've never made them ...
I have a favorite batter, so hell yeah ...
But then, we had Indian Friday night and it occurred to me that the onion bhaji could be great on a burger ...
With a twist, in theme ...
So I sliced a shallot and tossed it in beignet mix ...
And then lightly battered a round of them on my solid spattie and slide them into the oil ...
Works great ...

I'm slowly getting there myself ...muskymojo said:Some killer burgers so far!
I should really start thinking about what I'm going to make...
I'm going to try to 'relleno-ize' those el scorponero ...D3monic said:
So, I'm happy with the beignet bhaji, but I had some batter and I thought I'd give a bun a try ...
It's almost impossible to work with the dough for shaping with it at the hydration needed to try to steam something tall enough to be a reliable meat-handle for a double cheeseburger with toppings ...
I've been playing with this for a few days on and off, and even emailed the dude from the Budweiser contest from Esquire about it ...
Here's one that was close ...
But ...
There's a relatively short window after racking them where they're delicious ... and then they become sort of like cake donut ...
I'll stick to my fav ...
Thought I'd share though ...
I thought this blogger was nuts to bake beignet:
