trainman34014 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Anyone seen frozen Short Pastry (Pies etc)in Chiang Mai ? Plenty of Puff Pastry in Makro and Yok but can't find any Short Pastry anywhere. Made it myself a few times but a chore for sure !

Bake and Bite in Wat Ket has great small frozen meat pies (turkey, chicken, maybe beef). K. Gay is an expert baker and I believe she makes fruit pies also, but I am not sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj123 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have recently started making apple pies with this receipe for pastry. Very easy and delicious. Works best if you rest in the fridge overnight or at least 6 hours and allow to return to near room temperature before rolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make my own and find it quite simple to make. I generally make the crusts for my pumpkin pies which my daughter loves. I just wish there were places to find some Graham Crackers that weren't so damn expensive because I make my own crusts as well for my cheesecakes. .....now I'm getting a craving for my sweet tooth... ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that; i will try again and be more patient ! In England we use crumbled up Mc Vities Digestive Biscuits for our Cheesecake base. I find these Biscuits in Big C normally stacked next to the Chocolate Digestives, usual price 69 Baht but often on promotion at 59. Depending on what size Cheesecake you are making you will most likely need two packs; works out a bit expensive but with the rest of the ingredients it's an expensive job here anyway ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 'go to' cookie to make the crust when I don't feel like splurging for real Graham Crackers. As far as cheesecake being expensive, I agree. However the only ingredient that's expensive is the cream cheese and I use only Philadelphia as I think it tastes the best. I typically buy a 2kg block and make 2 cheesecakes. The second is either frozen or distributed to neighbors and friends. BTW, these 'go to' cookies are found nearly everywhere and typically cost less than 40THB. but it does take about 1 1/2 pkgs for each cheesecake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically buy a 2kg block and make 2 cheesecakes. The second is either frozen or distributed to neighbors and friends. I use sweetened condensed milk to make cheesecake. Key lime cheesecake .......... 3 eggs, 12oz tin of sweetened condensed milk, juice from 1-2 limes 25ml Pour into 2-quart pyrex microwave bowl and stir until mixed. (DO NOT USE A SMALLER CONTAINER) Cook in microwave on 800W for 5-7 minutes. Stir well after each minute. After 4 minutes, stir every 30 seconds. Watch filling carefully, do not answer the phone, or let anything distract you. It will become thick in a split second and you want to be there to stir and make sure the filling cooks evenly. Keep cooking until thick as pudding but do not allow to boil. Pour into the cooked pie crust and leave to cool. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
