Playing with Pastry Dough

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Made a big quantity of sweet shortcrust pastry dough.
On the first day, I turned some into Egg custard tarts.

Tried out 2 recipes I found for the egg custard, but I'm not really satisfied with the results.

One turned out tasting too egg-y, whereas the other one is too sweet and diluted.

Will keep trying!


Decided to make some fruit tarts with the leftover dough.
I can only find fresh dragonfruit and grapes at home So i also used those cut mix fruits from a can.

For the filling, i used instant custard as usual, and for a finishing touch, the fruits were glazed with some jelly.

So much time and work needed to make these tartlets, but they're well worth it.

Sweet Buns

Thursday, October 8, 2009

It has been some time since i last baked breadssssss.

Decided to make some sweet buns. Filled some with butter+sugar mixture, and left the rest plain.



Before Baking



After Baking

Looking at those round puffy buns, i decided to make them look like rabbits by cutting ears and use red food coloring for their eyes.


But i cut the ears too short so they ended up like fat little hamsters. >.<




They're still cute though.
