Technicolor Tips From the Pantry On Salting and Desserts
To prevent salt lumps add a teaspoon of cornstarch per six parts salt. Cup custard sometimes replaces whipped cream with fruit tarts. For plain custard, a munci roon dipped in wine may line each cup before pouring custard. An old fashioned custard uses cream or milk with cinnamon lemon peel, yolks, orange flower water and sugar, baked in cups, with nutmeg and sweet wine optional. Some cooks favor lard over butter for pie crust for tenderness.
