In addition to baking for a further 10 or extra minutes longer than the recipe specifies *this time relies upon the scale of the pans you might be utilizing

Pineapple Rum filling is actually a fast range high custard made with the juice from the canned pineapple!
After all the Rum Extract is elective however actually an incredible taste addition!

So whereas I record each measures under I can not stress sufficient how the grams measure with a scale goes to provide the finest outcomes.
Many instances individuals have complained that their custard is like rubber they usually don’t know why!
