Oh, its me again. If a recipe calls for whipping cream, is it the non diary or diary whipping cream? Normally what brand would you recommend if it calls for whipping cream also?

Thanks again.

Hi Alice,

"Low Protein Flour" is a weak or low gluten flour made from soft wheat. "Pau Flour", "Cake Flour", "Pastry Flour" are low protein flour. You can shift plain flour for three times before mixing if low protein flour is unavailable, but texture will not be the same.

Unless it is mentioned in the recipes as "non-diary whipping cream", diary type is used.

If for cake decoration or tarts, Rich's whipping cream is recommended. Always keep it in the fridge. Whip immediately, do not defroze it.

If i want to use the big mould, how about the baking time, is it the same?

Is the butter essence available in all ingredients shop?

Thanks.

Baking time (step no.2) for the tart shell depends on the thickness, not the width, therefore it will be the same. Baking time for step no.4 is the same.

Butter essence is available at baking ingredient shops.

我试做了这道挞,但是挞皮有些硬。

当我揉好面团时,面团是干和有点硬的。请问是出了什么问题?如何改进?

谢谢!

饼皮随意搅拌匀即可,不需搓太久,否则会起筋,导致饼皮变硬。如果没即刻用,以湿布盖着避免水蒸发。如太硬,B料的低筋面粉减20克。
