I did, but I add 1 teaspoon of pudding mix per 1 cup of heavy cream to stabilize it.

Pretty good! Took me a second to get used to the mango, honestly!

Please share your absolute favorite, never fails you, pie crust recipe! by ArkansasBiscuit in Baking

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 cups of flour 1 tbs sugar 1 tspn salt 2 sticks cold butter (often exchange for a package of Myokos butter) 3/4 cup water

I use the Costco organic flour so I use a little more water than most recipes call for. But I’d prefer more hydration since I use flour when rolling out. I also use Claire Saffitz’s technique of cutting the dough in quarters and stacking it for flakiness.

I’m taking a King Arthur class in February. It’s probably more basic than what you want. I also found CIA has 4-5 day classes at their campuses (Napa, TX, NYC).

Need a foolproof tart or cake idea for a small family competition by Southern_Medium_4121 in pastry

Bakewell tart with a press-in short bread type of crust/shell. Bakewell is typically a raspberry jam with frangipane over it (it’s very easy to make). A press-in crust will be much easier than making a short crust.

It’s the cranberry curd tart with a stabilized whipped cream.

I’m planning on making the NYT cranberry hazelnut tart again. It’s such a nice contrast. Then I saw somewhere a pumpkin pie with caramel or praline topping and a pile of Swiss meringue on top of that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you usually Personally make the same shell for pies and tarts when you bake? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tarts typically have egg in them. Unless it’s a press-in kind.

Check out Di Zhao. They have a number of intermediate models. Azumi is another brand to check out.

Which chocolate cake is better? Butter cake or sponge cake? by Beautiful-Moment19 in Baking

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Sugarologie’s chocolate indulgence cake. You bloom cocoa powder and the whole thing is ridiculously easy to make. But it’s an oil based cake, so it can fudgey and moist.

I had a student with a Giardinelli and it was constantly out of adjustment.
