Hi aunty,
Tried out the apple cake last saturday without the topping. Mine turns out too soft - maybe becoz i use yoghurt instead of buttermilk. Nevertheless, it smells heavenly and taste great.
One question, aunty, can we use the egg tart dough to make savoury tarts base or we have to use short crust pastry? Or do you have a basic dough recipe for both sweet & savoury tarts? Thanks very much!
Hi delia,
Nothing is wrong with your apple cake though. This recipe is crumbly due to the grated apples..causing the oxidation.. Place onto a serving dish and top it up with a dollop of ice-cream and it'll taste even more heavenly.
Yes the egg tart dough can be used for anything...like fruit tart, coconut tart, etc
Normally for savoury filling, just cut down the sugar and add 1/2 tsp. salt into the dough. I like the sugar content to give my dough a golden colour....
Happy New Year delia..
