But I decided to use recipe from my recipe book to practice it otherwise I got nice books and I just let them to dust in the corner of my bookcase 😛 And the result was really good.
Later when I compared to Mb. Ienas recipe, they were not so difference in terms of quantities of the ingredients etc. But I did follow her footstep in adding more corn flour as the custard filling was way too runny.
