My Whoopie Pie ProblemFollow

I'm trying to make small Whoopie Pies - about 1.5" in diameter.

Heres the problem; When I use my regular recipe and simply use smaller blobs of batter the whoopie pie piece spreads more when cooked. So I end up with a Whoopie Pie of nearly the same diameter but thinner.

I add a bit more flour to the batter and now I get the perfect sized whoopie pie - in both diameter and thickness. But it's dry. Smiley: frown

I've had small Whoopie Pies that were both small and moist - it's not an impossibility.

I'm thinking of using bacon grease instead of shortening.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Muffin pans. Greased with bacon fat.

On that note, forget the pies.

Bacon pans, greased with bacon fat and cooked bacon, then boiled in butter and whipped at cars.

The muffin pans are a pretty good idea if I can find some small enough.

Wal-Mart sells them in "one bite" size, or is that too small?

Forgive me for asking this, what the hell is a whoopie pie?

Sour cream and raisin > all

Edit: Now that I've googled it... It looks like a glorified oreoesque food, not so much as a pie. Pie's should have crusts.

Still looks hella delicious though.

I googled it, and it looks like some kind of delicious combination of an oreo and a cake.

What is this black magic.

Sounds delicious. Also, I thank you for doing the legwork to find out what it was, because I was much too scared to.

Only the size of your face, if the pictures are anything to go by.

The only suggestion that I have on the subject is that you start calling them by the more appropriate name of "Gobs".

NO. Oreo Cakesters suck compared to a good whoppie pie.

Elinda, a coworker of mine has some device that is designed to make tiny whoppie pies. I won't see her until Monday night, but if you want, I will find out what it is for you.

That's fine, good sir. I just didn't want people thinking that whoppie pies tasted anything like that crap.

I changed my mind. I decided whoopie pies are too perishable to ship off as gifts. I'm gonna make granola bars.

An update: I have perfected the perfect granola bar (assuming you like honey). They'll be great shipping gifts.

I saw Whoopie Pie molds in Michaels, btw. For those folks who are symmetrical circle challenged.
