Test Run

31 Mar

Idle hands, devil’s workshop, etc.

Before I pack up my kitchen into little boxes, I figured I’d give this recipe a test run, and it turned out… all right. I think next time, I’m going to heat up the custard instead of just letting it cook in the oven. These also look like they’re undercooked, even though I baked ‘em a little longer than the recipe said and the custard’s set just fine.

The flavor in the custard was good; the pastry was a little salty, but that’s down to Ms. Crocker… nothing to be done about that, unless I want to make my own pastry (which I don’t).

And now if you’ll excuse me, I have a slight radiating pain in my chest to deal with.

    I just recently discovered your blog, and am glad I did.
    Also, I’m lazy so I use the crust I make for “Easy 6-step Cobbler” for custard treats like that.

      Hey, thanks.

      Thanks for the tip too; I remember cobbler dough being pretty easy, I’ll give it a shot when I run out of the Betty (it was on special, so I got 3 boxes, whee).
