Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #28: Love Pudding

 Love Pudding is made from BIG EGG and LOVELY CHOCOLATE

So we've still got a few of the lovely chocolates left, and its gotta be something egg based so how about a steamed egg/custard pudding?

So I followed a recipe for "chinese style" egg pudding, seems nice and straightforward. We dissolve some sugar into a bit of hot water first, then take it off the heat and stir in milk and beaten eggs, and ill add a bit of vanilla flavouring as well.

Straining the mixture as we pour it into the cups. I want to create as much of a tower shape as I can, so I'll try this mug and hope for the best. And i'll pour the rest in some ramekins.

Covered these up with something heatproof... now, mugs a bit tall for the steamer...

So we're improvising and adapting..

After 15mins it looks like its worked... seems kinda jelly-like... But will it come out?

*****

Oh heck yeah look at that! We made a pudding! Much like the heartful cake im kind of amazed it worked at all, let alone be such a delicious hot, fresh and flavourful dessert. It not might be restaurant quality in its shape and texture, but as long as its gone roughly right its a basically perfect dessert that i'd definitely do again.

Cooking Mama's Cooking Challenge #40: Meat Pie

 Meat pies!!! I'm british so I should be able to nail this one no problem. easy as.. as a.. 

Slice an onion!

gonna do 2 onions because they're kinda small and i always have too many onions in my kitchen

Slice!

its your favourite! the ol' 3 parter.

Chop up!

on second thoughts maybe this is a lot of onion..

Saute!

We sautee some beef&pork mince, all them onions, and mix with tomato passata and white wine. Just enough to flavour it i guess without making it too saucy.

Pan fry some more!

No other seasonings!!! No salt, no pepper, no garlic... Mama why are you like this?

Add the ingredients!

Ok decided to look up the proportions because i'm not in the mood to ruin pastry. We're adding 200g flour, 100g butter, and just a splash of water.

Knead!

knead for speed: hot pocket pursuit

Roll out the dough!

surprisingly, its going alright

Cut shape!

this is the smallest circular cutty thing ive got... might be a bit too small really, do i really want to spend my whole evening making micropasties?

Fold the pie crust!

goddamn you know what these are too small to roll, so i went back and rolled them out even flatter/thinner to about 1.5x the size and im having more luck.

Set the timer!

Here they are ready for the oven, I guess these are more like... empanadas than british style pasties?

Finish!

****

Dare I say, for once, mine look even more like an actual shape than Mamas?? These came out well, the mixed meat and extra onions helped make up for a lack of seasoning. Even better with a tangy chilli sauce dip. Good cause i made like a billion of them again.
