I love that Emmy doesn’t blink twice at making a chocolate bar from raw cacao beans but laminating dough/pain au chocolat is the thing that intimidates her. I mean, it intimidates me too, I get it, but I’d also never tackle half of the brave concoctions she’s taken on. So yes, Emmy, I think you can reach for the stars and finally get your pain au chocolat!

These egg tarts were my absolute favourite! They are my whole childhood. I also haven’t had dim sum in a few years but I miss these tons.

[@Cerbie]

Emmy is so wholesome. I love her🤍

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

When she first showed the picture of the tarts in the cookbook, did anyone else see the custard part as convex domes instead of concave craters? I think it's because of the lighting situation. Her light source was from the left, as evidenced by the highlight and shadow on her hand. The shines and shadows on the custard gave the impression they were being lit by the same source, and so created the illusion that they were domed on top. Trick of the eye.

[@gracewine3867]

As a viewer from Hong Kong, seeing our cuisine getting featured is absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work, Emmy.

[@movingforwardLDTH]

Years ago, as an ESL volunteer with Literacy Chicago, I tutored a wonderful woman originally from Hong Kong named Yun. She often insisted that we meet at a (Chicago) Chinatown restaurant named The Phoenix for dim sum. Such wonderful memories of her proudly teaching me the names of the various dim sum! We lost touch after my family & I moved away, which I’ve always regretted, but I think of her every time I have (or watch YT videos of) dim sum. ❤️

Omigosh, your lamination is perfect, you'll slay the croissants. I find it fascinating that egg custard tarts find their way into the foods of so many cultures across the globe. They certainly are one of my favourites. I grew up in South Africa, where we make a big custard tart, with a layer of cinnamon on top, called milk tart, here in the UK we have smaller tarts, usually with nutmeg. There is something so comforting about crisp pastry contrasted with rich creamy egginess. Yum, it's making my mouth water.

[@Paz_Soldan]

[@nurseprac.nikki513]

I recently ordered these online and they were delicious but the shell was much more like a pie shell. I definitely think I’d prefer the puffed pastry.

[@Than211]

It really depends on where you get them from, each place makes it a little different and it's kind of their own proprietary recipe. I'd have to say most are pretty mediocre/okay (like the one you had), you rarely get any that are terrible but the good ones, like the really good ones, you can definitely taste something special in them - like maybe the quality of ingredients are better or more time got put into them.

[@dipp1511]

i've made croissants several times, the first time was tricky but you get the hang of it after doing it once or twice, my main issue was mostly just yeast not working, probably all the refrigeration, butter, and sugar that can kill it, so making sure your yeast is very active with a preferment isn't a bad idea

[@juliabarrett7781]

The energy in this video is immaculate ☺️

[@kikonyc68]

Puff pastry might be intimidating but it's only until you've done it. It's so satisfying to roll them into croissant shape. If you mess it up, you can just make it into biscuits or pie crust.

[@bmsbear313]

Making laminated dough is so much fun and satisfying. The only key is to keep it cold after each turn, other than that it's super easy!! I believe in you Emmy!!!

laminated dough is soooooo good, and it actually always baffled me that every single american recipe that i've watched use store bought puff pastry dough [not that doesn't exist just 99% of the ones i've watched use store bought] and we can't really find this kind of dough 'ready to buy' on markets around here, so the only option is to actually make at home hahahaha but it's definitely easier to do at home than most recipes/people make it seems xD it's like they amp it up the 'difficulty of the recipe as something sooo intimidating but it's actually not that bad/hard also emmy xD MAKE CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS and while you're at it, use the same dough to make some savory ones aswell i loooooove the chicken/cream cheese ones. ooooh so gooooood! but the chocolate ones are not my favorite sweet ones but the ones with creme patissiere inside and some fine snow sugar ontop ♡

I love baking even tho something always goes wrong lol!

[@JessInTheCityy]

As long as you enjoyed it, that's all that matters 😊 I'm terrified to make laminated dough. I can cook up a storm, but baking is definitely not a talent of mine! It's such a precise art, with little to no room for error. But, it doesn't stop me from trying!

[@helenedesmarais8697]

The bread texture instead of separate layers is because your butter was too warm when laminating and got incorporated in the layer instead of being separate. Same will be with puff pastry. Better luck next time.
