A White Whale recipe is one that is unperfected and oftentimes inspired by a nostalgic ideal
. There is a specific glee in the ability to conjure Proustian recollection with a single, replicable bite. White Whales are a personal pursuitChocolate chip cookies were such an obsession of mine. A collection of years and about 700 cookies later , I found my standard, as published in my cookbook.That said, the seas are still fraught with other foes.
The pressed, pickled peppers our next door neighbour made when I was growing up is another. I’ve asked for the recipe, but it’s been lost to the ages, and a time before the internet.

They are baked at high heat so the filling soufflés, then falls, creating a distinct skin on the custard before it gives way to the smooth interior.
As said though, White Whale recipes are unique to the maker. For me, I want a hefty pinch of salt in my custard, and even more vanilla. I am tempted to make my own dough for the shell, with cultured, European-style butter for that much more depth.Pastéis de Nata 1 10-inch-by-15-inch sheet all-butter puff pastry, store-bought or homemade, thawed according to package instructions if frozen
