flan pâtissier, i'm REALLY happy with how this one turned out

#food #cooking #baking
a whole flan pâtissier. the crust is a nice dark golden brown, and the top has plenty of burnt spotting a flan pâtissier that has been cut so you can see the inside, which is nice and creamy with plenty of dots of vanilla

here's some lussekatter (swedish saffron buns)

i think they're more of a lucia thing than a christmas thing? but idc they taste good and cozy so they fit the christmas vibe as well

happy holidays y'all

using leftover ramen broth to cook pasta is just my thing now i guess

it was a chicken broth, and i added some cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, balsamic, parmeggiano to make it into a lovely lil tomato sauce
