Why It is Easier To Fail With Baking Recipes Than You Might Assume
Haha. It seems I can not get enough of Bake Cheese Tarts eh?
Made four dozens of those irresistible treats for a buddy at the moment; this have to be the biggest batch I've baked so far. In order that leaves blind-baking the tart pastry this morning, filling with the cheese custard, then assemble and a last bake, all accomplished inside 3 hrs. I've defined all of the steps clearly within the earlier three posts listed above earlier than, so no step-by-step pictures this time. As I must deliver them by noon time, I determined to prepare the tart pastry and cheese filling yesterday.
Anyways, the purpose of this submit is to update one more refinement/modification to the previous recipes, catering to particular variety of tarts, in addition to variation in ingredients used. I'm also very forgetful lah, so all these recipes posted are like immediate references for me to remember what substances to buy every time (as an alternative of having to jot down a purchasing record every time) :p
For the tart dough, instead of utilizing icing sugar, I used caster sugar as an alternative as a result of I ran out of icing sugar (which I believed I had, foolish me). However the consequence turned out to be nice, the tart pastry is extra crunchy like biscuit and nearer to the unique =D
For the cheese custard, since I used caster sugar, it was added together with the cheeses as a substitute of later half with the corn starch (previous recipes). Cheese-smart, I added a bit of slice processed cheese and mixed shredded cheese, no problem in any respect.
So, like I all the time mention, be happy to adjust the substances to go well with personal desire.
For the tart pastry and cheese filling preparation, I made them in 2 batches, i.e. 27 tarts per batch (24 + three extras). I at all times make a couple of extras to cater for style-take a look at and rejects (yep, I broke one tart case accidentally and a few of the tarts got browned and didn't match with the remainder :p). Why didn't I make all forty eight (or quite 54) of them at one go? I think it is easier to handle and QC, though barely extra work.
Yay, the perk about baking for others, I can style-check legitimately without having to bake a contemporary batch for myself, too sinful lah. Extras additionally go to my kiddo (poor kiddo, can solely eat rejects, LOL!).
I really like these 12-gap cupcake boxes from Phoon Huat which pack the cheese tarts completely.
