Potato flour is a great substitute. Rice flour is another that I've tried as well. Although it does change the flavour subtly and the texture is a little different, it still tastes good because of the cardamom and rosewater.Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398592642206432605.post-83039656999676382042008-08-11T15:13:00.000+10:002008-08-11T15:13:00.000+10:00Yum, I will definitely try this..

I try to do the same and leave back-dated comments at times because I feel that since someone has taken the time to write, I will do the same. Although I can't browse the internet as much as before. <BR/><BR/>Rosewater: The one that I used for this recipe was good - and it happens to be from Lebanon. I got it from one of my fav shops called the Essential Ingredient.<BR/><BR/>I love mince pies too, and so does my sister (she asked me to buy some from the bakery here to take back to Singapore when I visit them at the end of the year. Too bad you won't have time to make it this year, but like you said, there is always next year. <BR/><BR/>````````````````````````````<BR/><BR/>Thanks Carol. I still have your recipe for the date pudding flagged. The weather seems to have turned, so maybe it will be cool enough to have a warm pudding :-)Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398592642206432605.post-45200185909049614582007-12-06T01:09:00.000+11:002007-12-06T01:09:00.000+11:00Wow Nora, this whole dish would be completely new ...Wow Nora, this whole dish would be completely new to me.

I've got loads of your posts to catch up on, but I want to take the time to read them and comment on each of them thoughtfully, so please giveat me just a bit of time :-)<BR/><BR/>This is the sort of dessert that I really enjoy. I think it is good way to introduce a spice during a Summer Christmas. My friends in the US think it is exotic to have a summery food at Christmas, but we can't very well have Christmas pudding, can we? It's far too stodgy.<BR/><BR/>My most favourite Christmas food is mince pies. I wanted to make my own fruity mincemeat this year but have run out of time...Perhaps next year.<BR/><BR/>From which country do you buy your rose water?

Oh, make sure you buy a good brand because some rosewater can taste quite bad (& fake). It should be the real stuff distilled from roses.<BR/><BR/>Anthony - Welcome and thanks for dropping by. If you are making this, you may want to use full cream milk of a proportion of cream to make it creamier. I used low-fat milk only because that was what I had on hand and I think it was actually too light but still the cardamom and rosewater flavours were still able to shine through.

As for the warm weather Christmas menu, I spend Christmas day at my partner's parents place every year, so I won't have to cook at all (except I usually bring dessert, but nothing fancy because everyone there seems to be on a diet!). But maybe what i can do is describe what a typical warm weather Christmas is like in Sydney, or based on my experience in Australia. <BR/>p/s: I still haven't posted the kitchen skeleton story yet...will get to it soon...Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398592642206432605.post-82377404952728307372007-12-04T02:49:00.000+11:002007-12-04T02:49:00.000+11:00That looks so refreshing - perfect after a Christm...That looks so refreshing - perfect after a Christmas dinner, regardless of the hemisphere.<BR/>Love the trick for tinting the rose water!<BR/>Are you going to be posting your warm weather Christmas menu?

I made half the recipe and still have 2 more puddings to myself (since I am by myself this week). ;-) <BR/><BR/>Margot & Anh - As for my photo (*blush*), I thought I will leave it up for a few weeks. Since I've gotten to know so well so many bloggers, putting a face to my blog might be nice for a change. <BR/><BR/>Lydia - Thanks. You even use rosewater in cookies which has ground almond. <BR/><BR/>Valli - I've only just started using the leaves. I think that they are easier to use than the powder. It's more common in Europe. My German friend, Eva, brought a few packets back fro me when she went back to Germany. <BR/><BR/>Susan - I love that combo too. As for your blog, I look forward to reading more lovely posts - you write so well!<BR/><BR/>Veron - Thanks! It was amazingly simple to make, yet it can be so elegant. <BR/><BR/>Marta - Thank you. You can use the same flavour with pannacotta. <BR/><BR/>BBOven - Thanks, yes the scent was heavenly!<BR/><BR/>Eva - Actually I was thinking about you when I made this. I was wondering if you would like it because it has cardamom (which I know you just started using) and rosewater (you haven't had a positive experience with this yet). Hmm...maybe I will have to make some just for you as an experiment. :-) The rose is from my mini garden. It has a lovely scent!Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.com
