Stuff Happiness Is Made Of

Currypuffs

I am a great believer in currypuffs. When I was young my mom used to make it all the time and this time I decided to get her to teach me how to do it, me being the ignorant goose that I am.

Here they are:




Overall, was very pleased with it. The pastry used was just plain shortcrust and the filling is just chilli, potatoes and mince chicken with lots of onions.

I baked it to reduce the amount of oil in the currypuff - not that it makes currypuffs healthy. But at least I tried.

Can't wait to try making sardine rolls instead.

Quiche

I love eating quiche, mainly because of the crust. A yummy crust combined with an eggy, cheesy filling is just the kind of comfort food I enjoy.

I had a head of broccoli that I bought in my attempt to be 'healthy' and decided to make broccoli and cheese quiche to get rid of it. It turned out quite good:

I made the shortcrust pastry from scratch and the filling is basically cream, eggs, cheddar cheese and brocolli seasoned with pepper and salt mixed together and poured into the crust. I baked it for about half an hour and there was my lunch. One side of the quiche turned out darker than the other thanks to the uneven heat distribution in my ancient oven.

Next time I'm going to try to make a meatlover's quiche instead.
