"galadriel" wrote in message ... I am wondering if anyone has a good mexican dessert recipe? Here is my favorite recipe for flan, try it. 1/2 cup sugar 2 T. water 2 cups milk 1/2 cup sugar 4 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla pinch of salt Choose a one qt. mold with a smooth inside surface or use 6 individual molds. To carmelize the mold in a small saucepan, over high heat, boil 1/2 cup sugar with 2 T. water. When golden, pour into a mold, turning quickly in all directions to coat the bottom. In a blender put milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt and blend 3 min. on med. speed. Pour into the mold, place the mold in a larger pan, Pour warm water into the larger pan halfway up the sides of the mold. Bake at 325 degrees in a pre heated oven for about 1 hour. Check occasionally during baking to make sure it does not boil. If it does reduce oven slightly but not below 300 degrees. Test for doneness by inserting a kitchen knife halfway down the custard. If the knife comes out clean it's done. Cool 1 hour and refrigerate at least 3 hours. 1/2 cup sugar 2 T. water 2 cups milk 1/2 cup sugar 4 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla pinch of salt Choose a one qt. mold with a smooth inside surface or use 6 individual molds.

Based on my experience, there isn't a lot of baking that happens in
Mexico. Many of the homes I have been in don't even have ovens. The desserts I find most frequently are flan, rice pudding (called "arroz con leche") and various gelatines. The cakes that I have had have all been bought from cake bakers and they are very interesting. They are very moist, sometimes almost seeming to have gelatine in them. There are also a wide variety of sweet breads available, which are much less flavorful than those you typically find in US bakeries. I don't have any specific recipes for you, I'm afraid. |
