It was the Barcelona Port
The flan I baked in little glass bowls, 1” diameter. The pouring of the caramel into the bottom was a little messy and some got on the sides, but it didn’t affect the final product. I thought they looked cute and were a great individual size for the buffet. I did hear back the next day that one woman said “This is not how flan is supposed to be.” She was referencing the size. I would have liked to ask her how many places she has eaten flan like it’s a slice of cake and not an individual dessert. It was for the buffet after all, and why not make it easy for guests to take one serving without making a mess.

*********
These were the weirdest brownies. The batter was black and thick and tar-like. It didn’t spread into the pan; I kind of spread it around with my hands. After baking they formed a rock hard crust on top, but when I flipped them over they were chewy on the inside. The recipe made 2 sheet trays that I cut and bagged for the regatta outdoor buffet. There must have been a problem, like not enough butter, that made the batter the consistency it was. Won’t use this recipe again!

Strawberry Mousse- half recipe
156 g puree
3.5 g gelatin
106 g cream
28.3 g egg whites
39.6 g sugar
************
I made this Italian meringue by hand because it was such a small amount of egg whites and sugar. I had someone help me by pouring in the cooked sugar as I whisked. I found the final product was not as fluffy as with the larger recipe.
