Eton mess — "In recent times, "Eton mess" has often been used by commentators in the media to describe political infighting within the UK Conservative Party over issues such as Brexit."
Karpatka (polish mountain cake)
- I make the last step of filling by whipping the butter and then gradually adding cold pudding/custard. However, the way the recipe above does it seems easier and quicker. It just will not be fluffy but that’s ok.
- Also, the pan (or parchment paper) shouldn’t be greased bc the sticky dough will be impossible to spread. I use a thick flat cookie pan (x2), no grease, take it out when golden (I don’t leave it in the oven w open door like they say above), and take the crust off ass soon as it cools of a bit. Otherwise, it gets stuck to the bottom ant it is too hard to peel it off... if that happens, you need to warm up the bottom - back in the oven or hover over stove.
- Oh, and I use 1/2 corn or potato starch an 1/2 regular wheat flour. It give a bit more texture without tasting floury.
