Butterscotch Chips Palmiers

Palmiers, is a french pastry which goes for puff pastry, a very similar dough usually used making crossiants.Palmiers have different names, they are also known as elephant ears, french hearts, palm leaves or else sugar hearts. Palmiers can be baked easily with puff pastry sheets and sugar, yes just two ingredients is quite enough to bake out these cuties. Eventhough you can simply prepare this dangerously addictive palmiers just with sugar, you can still bake them with many variations like chocolate chips, cinnamon powder, pesto, cheese, fruit chunks etc.. One of my recent trial is this addictive butterscotch chips palmiers. These cuties are very easy to do as much as like the usual palmiers. Palmiers takes very less time to get ready and bake. You doesnt need any specific gadgets to bake this cuties.Sending to Srivalli's Anniversary Mela.

Queen of Puddings

 As per wiki,Queen of Puddings is a traditional British dessert, consisting of a baked, breadcrumb-thickened mixture, spread with jam and topped with meringue.Milk and lemon zest are heated to boiling in a saucepan. Sugar, butter and breadcrumbs are mixed into the hot milk, which is allowed to cool. Egg yolks and a whole egg are beaten into this mixture, which is transferred into a deep pie dish then baked in a bain-marie until set.

This firm, brownish bread crumb base is then spread with jam, usually raspberry or blackcurrant and a meringue mix made from the reserved egg whites is spooned over the jam. The pudding is returned to the oven and baked until the meringue is golden, but still soft. The pudding is eaten hot. When you get a chance of making this beautiful Queen of puddings, who will resist to give a try to this delightful dessert, i baked mine few months back and today am posting this beauty just i want to clear my draft.Sending to Srivalli's Anniversary Mela.
