This is one of the most basic pastry recipes around. Its simple, versatile, and the perfect thing to make when you wanna impress someone about your cooking skills without having any recipes around. You only need equal amounts of sugar, eggs (good to know: an egg weighs around 55 gr), butter and flour, plus a tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt. From there, all you need to remember is 180C and let your imagination flow.... This time I decided to make a lemon orange flavored budin, lets go to the recipe, shall we??
