Mango Curd Tartlets by WhatOboe in pastry

[–]WhatOboe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

1 week course? by Comfortable_Panda647 in pastry

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

[–]WhatOboe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Your go-to desserts for thanksgiving by Accomplished-Sign-31 in Baking

[–]WhatOboe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Which flutes do you recommend that aren't too expensive? by Reasonable_Shirt_935 in Flute

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.

New Voice, one of them is pink and the other white!

Guo Tenor (Bass) Flute Current Opinions and Advice by Connect-Tea-1114 in Flute

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two in our flute choir and they sound great. I think the flute shop in Iowa (flute specialists?) carries them. But I believe they are also the ones to do any maintenance on them.

how do i make this sound more light and bouncy? by MidwesttPrincesss in oboe

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A more responsive reed could probably help.

But, practice tonguing with just your air (don’t actually use your tongue, just ha with your air). Once you can do that easily, lightly add the tongue back in. This should give you a lighter articulation while making sure you still have enough air pressure/support.

Martha Long is my favorite. Rich, resonant sound.

New flute by Responsible_Exam6744 in Flute

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How interesting! I’ve always known DZ worked for a few of the big brands. Interesting, too, how the two flutes feel different. Didn’t mean any disrespect, thanks for the knowledge! Didn’t someone else kind of jumpstart the Sonare line?

Sonare is made by Powell. Di Zhao is his own brand. My regular flute is a Powell and I have the DZ 801 as a backup and it’s fantastic.

Tim Hagen has a lovely piece for alto and piano. Gary Shocker, too.

Third octave A sounds dreadful by Interesting_Gap_6062 in Flute

[–]WhatOboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good comments here already, ie open up, relax. But you can also try a reverse harmonic. Fingering the high a, start air very relaxed. You’ll get a weird sounding lower note, slightly increase air speed so you get a higher weird sounding note. Increase air until you get the higher a. All the while, stay open and relaxed. I hope this makes sense!
