Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Custard Tartlets


desserts, oriental

----PASTRY----
1 cup flour
4 tablespoon butter (cut into small pieces)
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cup dried beans; for weighting down pastr
----FILLING----
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoon sugar
3 eggs; beaten

MIX ALL THE PASTRY INGREDIENTS together in a bowl or food processor until well mixed. Roll the pastry into a ball, wrap it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375F. Roll out the pastry to about 1/8-inch thick and press into 6 small 3-inch tartlet molds. Place a sheet of foil over the sides and surface of the pastry and pour enough dried beans on the foil to weight it down. Bake for about 10-to-12 minutes or until the dough is lightly browned. In a saucepan, boil together the water and sugar for 5 minutes to make a light syrup. Let the syrup cool thoroughly and combine it with the eggs. Pour an equal amount of custard into each pastry shell. Reduce the oven heat to 325F and bake for 15 minutes or until the custard just sets.
