Banana Flan
by baboysai at 11:17 AM .

A lot of people didn't get what they expected when I told them I'd bring them a banana flan. 

It actually had a crust. blank.gif

 

Well, let's get it straight, fellas.  According to Mr. Webster, a flan is:

an open pie containing any of various sweet or savory fillings; custard baked with a caramel glaze.

 

Heh.  So this is my banana flan:

This particular banana flan is made out of the sugar dough (for the pie crust), the melted chocolate to hold the crust together, the pastry cream (more popularly known as Bavarian cream,and of course the bananas, and the garnishing on the side. 

Baboysai's tip of the day:

Don't overlook the secret ingredient!

Here's why.  I actually kept tasting my cream and I didn't want it too sweet because I don't like sweets that are well, too sweet.  And I thought it was actually perfect, when all of a sudden Chef Alex (our pastries instructor) poured All purpose cream into the Bavarian cream that T and I and perfected. shock.gif  He said it was a secret to make our cream even creamier bored.gif but at that point we could no longer add sugar to adjust the taste.  Hanya?  He should have told us what was coming.  But well, maybe he did it on purpose. For some reason unknown to me.  So the result was fine, not BTS-kind of good, but just fine.  Like, probably a 7/10. 

 

And here's us in uniforms:

Spanking, huh? 

 

I kick ass. 

 

 


Baboysai is: loving it.

18 cared.

@ekang, we're on our way, haycanfeelit!

@rac, ayusin mo na yan ohohoho. Although, alam ko talaga how it feels..

@bonnie, the secret is in the kneading, apparently. -_- I need more practice on that as well >.<
