| 34 | #26 Hi Valentino Pud sounds delish but I was just wondering have you cooked it on gas before? Gas is hotter than electricity and I wouldn't want to burn it's bottom. jed - 2008-04-23 16:43:00 |
| 35 | A very good point jed... There was a discussion some time ago with use of gas. One uses a special plate to put over the gas element to soften the heat. Basically, you do need to soften the heat as much as possible or keep it to very low setting. A heavy metal like thick aliminium Pot should also be used, I use an old preassure cooker for this but the lid is not secured, just loose. The other key is constantly keep an eye on it, mainly for the smell, sense thought. Cheers valentino - 2008-04-23 18:30:00 |
| 36 | The above note is mainly for #30. This one, you do need to watch. Remember what it was like licking a bowl after all is done, this is similar but cooked. valentino - 2008-04-23 18:33:00 |
| 37 | You can't have a dessert thread without Tiramisu Needs to be made the day before to allow flavours to develop. 2 c strong black coffee, 1/2c marsala (or I use rum), 3 eggs seperated, 1/3c caster sugar, 250gm marscapone, 300ml cream whipped, 1 pkt sponge finger biscuits, cocoa for dusting. Pour coffee & marsala (or rum) into shallow dish. Beat egg yolks & sugar till thick & pale. Add in marscapone & whipped cream till combined. Beat egg whites in separate bowl till soft peaks. Fold into marscapone mix. Dip biscuits briefly into coffee mix and lay on the base of a square dish (i use a lasagne dish). Cover with a layer of the marscapone mix. Repeat with another layer of dipped biscuits. End with a layer of cream. Dust with cocoa and chocolate curls. Cover and leave in fridge overnight. rkcroft - 2008-04-23 21:50:00 |
