Given the following recipe. Choose only one of the four recipe and list down the ingredients of the said recipe. Write your answer at the back of this paper. 1. Buko pie 2. Pineapple pie 3. Banana cream pie 4. Cream puff
The texture of the buko is very important in the success of this recipe. Choose young coconuts that have a generous amount of meat yet but are still very tender.
Carefully remove the meat using a spoon instead of a shredder for whole and chunky pieces instead of thin strips.
The pie crust
The pie pastry uses lard, but you can substitute unsalted butter or vegetable shortening (Crisco) if you prefer a healthier fat.
If substituting butter, use unsalted. Butter has less fat than lard so you might have to add more to achieve the same results. For every 1/2 cup of lard, you can replace with 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon butter.
If substituting vegetable shortening, use 1:1 as shortening and lard have almost the same amount of fat.
