Flan

After the Tres Leches cake, I learnt that things need their time. I was told that it would taste better if it soaked longer in the liquid.
So Flan will be done tonight. What U like best about this recipe is that it uses milk instead of the evaporated and the condensed milk others call for.




Bought

cornstarch yesterday. All this while I have been skipping the recipes with cornstarch. But after my recent debacles of missed frostings, I resorted to it.
(In India too, cotton sarees were treated with rice starch to stiffen them after a wash)
The Argo lady looks like a mermaid.
I even bought some colours.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
