February 21, 2010: Lemon Slice, Twice

the master salad recipe ticked both boxes correct away. Feb brought a lemon slice, alongside all the wheat flour in addition to egg-and-milk custard you'd expect. Nevertheless, I had a few substitutions inwards require heed in addition to planned to bake half-batches of the master in addition to tinkered-with recipes on the same afternoon.

orange-Szechuan pepper icecream I late made, I got to thinking nearly arrowroot. (Why I didn't but cry upwardly nearly No Egg powder, I'm non sure.) I but threw it into the vegan 'custard' yesteryear the tablespoonful in addition to hoped for the best. This fourth dimension it was the distinctly golden caramel-looking layer, upwardly against a real eggy-looking classic custard.

I plonked them into the oven in addition to waited. And waited in addition to waited. In fact, I made 2 careless mistakes that meant these slices were sitting inwards a 100°C oven for nearly one-half an hr earlier I got them to the advised temperature. After they'd had their plough in addition to more, I pulled them both out of the oven - the master recipe was looking eggy but good set. By contrast, much of the alterna-custard was all the same liquid. I was a piddling disappointed, but non devastated. I figured this form of baking mis-step would survive inevitable on the route to gobble-worthy gluten-free baked goods.
