Having done some research on finding dishes beginning with "I" for Favourite dish beginning with.. as I didn't know too many, I've come across the something called "Ipswich Almond Pudding" which I need to try.

Not heard of that particular dish before and there seem to be a few versions out there - some a bit bakewell tart like and some a bit bread and butter pud like.Having done some research on finding dishes beginning with "I" for Favourite dish beginning with.. as I didn't know too many, I've come across the something called "Ipswich Almond Pudding" which I need to try.
Yep, wondered about that as well....
My wife just asked me to make Hong Kong style cupcakes, or paper wrapped spongecakes.
Never heard of them until today. Should be interesting as I don't have a stand mixer. Might a stick blender work on the egg whites?
I've only ever used a balloon whisk for egg white. Works wonders.I've never used a balloon whisk for egg whites, o
It probably won't. It could destroy the proteins, resulting in a watery liquid.
You need a balloon whisk. i sometimes use a hand mixer with balloon attachments as I have no stand mixer. You can do it by hand with a balloon whisk. It doesn't take very long. I quite enjoy it!
Was going to say not sure about a stick blender as they have cutting blades. I've never used a balloon whisk for egg whites, only electric beaters - and rotary whisks. Do you have or can you borrow some electric hand beaters?
Looked up Hong Kong cupcakes as am not familiar - looks similar to geniose type sponge cake (beaten eggs, folded in flour, no rising agents) in cupcake form - I could eat a lot of those!

I just remembeted that after my last stick blender got lost in the black hole of my basement, I was given a new one with a balloon whisk attachment. I guess I'll try that. I've never whipped egg whites to stiff peaks before. Should be interesting.I've only ever used a balloon whisk for egg white. Works wonders.

Thanks, all.
Remember to thoroughly clean the bowl and attachment thoroughly. Dry it with a clean tea-towel. I also rinse the bowl in a tablespoon of vinegar just before whisking (its recommended online). Any grease in the bowl will stop the whites from foaming to their best potential.
