Custard Puffs

.

I've made this puffs once, a few years back when you were still too small to appreciate food. But then, it's a good thing that you didnt know much about food then since my first attempt to make these puffs was a complete failure. I can imagine your sarcastic remarks & looks after taken your first bite....euwwww scaryyy !!!

Anyway, this time around equipped with a few years cooking experience behind my back, I would say my Custard Puffs are a great success. My puffs shrunk the first time I did it but this time they are just perfect - crispy & puffy like they are supposed to be. And with these kindof puffs, I am more than pleased to present them to my personal food critics for I know I'll be getting a big hug from her !

Fried Apple Pie

I never did like Apple Pie - and so do you, right? So, watta heck am I cooking it for then? I dunno what's wrong with me lately but my passion for cooking has been so overwhelming these days. Everyday, I would wanna try & cook something new, even though it's something I dont like. This Apple Pie is one excellent examples of how passionate I am in cooking.

I initially fried 2 pcs for food sampling but to my surprised, you asked for more. My oh my.....you dont know how much this means to me. You loves my Apple Pie ! Thank you dear !

Ingredients
2 green apples, diced
1 cm cinnamon
1/3 cups sugar

How To

Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan & mix well under low heat.

Cook until the apples become soft & till you get the right consistency. Then, mash a quarter of the apple mixture & leave the balance as it is. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile cut the puff pastry into 2 & place a teaspoonful of the filling at one side of the pastry. Cover it with the the other side of the pastry.

Seal the dough by pressing the edges with a fork. Cut a few slits on top of the dough.




Heat oil under low heat & fry the pie till golden brown.
