| My patisserie challenge, flan |
Welcome to my patisserie
challenge. This year I have decided to buy something different from our village
boulangerie every Sunday and to enjoy
the simple pleasure of treating myself. This week Adrian will be celebrating
his forty-something birthday so I decided my treat to him would be to
buy his favourite, the humble flan.
This is a simple pastry base
filled with a baked custard topping. There are no fireworks of flavour or juicy
bursts of fruit, but it does have a lovely comforting creaminess and a soft,
gentle texture, plus it’s not too sweet. It is one of those choices that you
know you can’t go wrong with and as it isn’t messy to eat Adrian will always
pick it for a picnic. It’s not my favourite, but it is good value and reminds me of village social events where it's often served for the desert.
Don’t forget to join me next week
to see my next choice from Bernadette at the boulangerie.
