Custard Caramel Pudding

Last week before going back to hostel,my son Salman requested that I make Custard caramel the next time he comes back.So not to dissappoint him yesterday I made it.But I didn't make my normal Custard Caramel that I am most known with. My son Usamah had asked me to make the 'smooth-kind' like in the shops.
So I started recipe hunting again.Found many that used '3 eggs and 2 yolks'.I passed these kind of reipe coz I don't know what to do with the extra egg white,Then there recipes that used 7-10 eggs.
My!My! So many eggs! I will always avoid recipes that use too much eggs.Until I found this Japanese Custard recipe.And it turned out perfect! The combination of the slightly bitter caramel and sweet custard pudding is so lovely!Especially when eaten cool.
I doubled the portions coz 4 just didn't seem to be enough for us.
Lets check out the recipe.This ingredient makes 4.

Caramel
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp water
1 1/2 - 2 tbsp hot water

Egg mixture
2 eggs
250 ml fresh milk
5 tbsp sugar

4 pudding moulds
some unsalted butter

These are the moulds I used

1. Butter the moulds to make it easy for the pudding to come out later.
2. To make the caramel place the sugar and water in a pot on medium heat. Let it sit until the sugar turns brown. Remove the pot from the heat and add in the hot water. Keep it away from you so thet the hot caramel sauce doesn't burn your hand.
3. Pour the caramel into the pudding moulds. Put aside.
4. Next crack the 2 eggs into a bowl. Lightly beat the egg. Don't lift the tip of the whisk leave the bottom of the bowl to avoid creating too much foam.
5. add milk and sugar in a pot on low heat until sugar is dissolved.
6. Add the milk into the egg while continously whisking the egg.
7. Sieve the mixture.
8. Pour the mixture into the moulds and steam it.
9. Make sure the water for steaming is under boiling point to ensure smooth top. Covering each mould with foil helps.

After cooled.

Turned upside down and this is how it looks like.See the glossy top?

I made another batch today for Salman to take back to hostel.

Irish Apple Crumble

Assalamu'alaikum everyone. I just want to share today a dessert recipe that I made for tonights dinner.My  son Salman's birthday had already passed but we couldn't celebrate or anything coz he was in boarding school.So tonight,besides my Baked Spaghetti and Savoury muffins (which did not turn  out so good but not too bad) I made apple crumbles.After seeing how to make it earlier ~where else if not on Youtube~ I gave it a go. This is the recipe I used. Pastry dough to fit an 8-inch pie pan Ingredients:

4 medium Granny Smith or Red Delicious apples, peeled,    cored, and coarsely chopped ( I used Red Delicious.I cored them,cut them on two then sliced them)

1 tablespoon sugar 3/4 tablespoon of castor sugar (I used brown sugar)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened Method:

Preheat the oven . In a pan, mix together the apples, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon.Cook over slow heat for a while. In a bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the butter. Work these ingredients together with a fork until you have a crumbly mixture.( I used my fingers) Place the apple in your baking pan.Spoon the crumble over the apple mixture so that the apples are completely covered. Bake for 25 minutes.

Eat it with ice cream.Preferabbly vanilla ice cream.My son bought this by mistake. ~Bon appetite~
