采用的食谱是红极一时的黑妈妈爱心蛋挞,这个配方即简单又好吃,不用我多介绍了。挞皮做法部分黑妈妈只提到把材料搓均,所以当我第一次做时就很自然的用了rub-in method。后来才看到Min和Mikiko的做法是把牛油融化后加入材料里的。所以,第二次做时我就想试试这个方法,这样一来就能够比较同样材料不同方法出来的成果。
捏皮方面,用rub-in method的挞皮比较具伸展性,所以比较容易捏,很快的就可以捏好。而融化牛油的方法挞皮比较干容易散开,所以在捏皮时就必须花比较多时间。总结起来,两个方法花的时间不相上下。
比较成品,个人觉得rub-in method的挞皮比较buttery,酥脆中带点moist不会干干的。而融化牛油的方法挞皮比较脆,像在吃饼干的感觉,我把它收在冰箱,到第三天时回温后挞皮还是一样脆脆的。所以,两个方法做出来的成品各有千秋,就看个人的喜好。
我的挞模比较浅,装的蛋液不够,下次要用muffin tray来做才行(因为那滑溜溜的蛋液好好吃)。
