Below is fruit flan made using Japanese flour - a mixture of high and low protein wheat flour. Reason that I mix the flour is because I'm using 100% President butter, I need the dough to have good handling during rolling out.
The crust is very fragrant due to the butter - its the most expensive unsalted butter. For novice, not all butter taste the same. If you use cheaper butter, u need a mix of margarine so that you can roll out. Check your room temperature too. Below 25 is best.
The fruits are pricey this time - Korean Strawberry at $16.00 and Blackberries at $8.90.
I just ate the tart - Very good - and there's room for improvement for the design
It have been a long while since I last bake any interesting creations. Last couple of months have been really busy with my new offshore desk and most importantly of all - 2 biggest events of my life - buying and renovating my new house with my wife and our wedding - and our honeymoon.
On Christmas day, we have friends coming over to our house for Christmas Party, and yes - you guess it! I'll be making something. Italian thin crust pizza and challenging myself to produce a Macaroon Christmas Tree - stay tuned!
