#deepfried#pastryIn my country this fried pastry called “Pastel Goreng”Pastel goreng or fried puff pastry is one of the famous Indonesian snack. It’s a type of savory and deep fried snack.This fried pastry looks similar to an empanadas, Puerto Rican pasteles, English pasties, or Malaysian curry puff.Which makes it different maybe from the filling and taste.I like the Malaysian curry puff, but for me the Indonesian version of fried puff is much better. The filling is lighter then curry puffs because they don’t use too much herbs and spices on it. Also, you can use whatever you want for the filling.You can make it as a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Most common filling in Indonesia is using vermicelli mixed vegetables and a sliced of hard boiled eggs. But of course you can put veggies and chicken or even only vegetables such as carrot, potatoes, celery and mixed it with vermicelli only without meat.This snack is good for family time, parties, snacking, or even for potluck ideas.Usually you can eat it as is, oralong with spicy peanut sauce or with a bite of fresh chili 🌶Well in this recipe, for the filling I use based of what I have in my fridge. So for the filling, it might be vary.Give it try, this fried pastry is really appetizing.So here is the recipe.

Everybody loved it really. :-) :-) :-)

I didn't have butter and I wondered if I could make something other than a chiffon cake with vegetable oil.-Please be careful at Step 2!! The oil will splatter! When water starts bubbling a little, add the flour immediately!!-The key to success is to finish all the steps while the dough is still hot.Here's a good recipe for Custard Cream: Recipe by Tacchome

I have been using this pie crust recipe for the past 40 years. I especially like using it for single crust pies like lemon meringue and pumpkin. A single crust plain pastry is pictured above and a single crust lemon meringue pie is pictured below.
