Lemon Poppy Discard Cracker #1

Goal

Develop a discard cracker to use as a shell for future breakfast yogurt mousse cups.

Observations

Flavor: Lemon-Poppy seed is a classic pairing for a reason.
The cracker: Flat cracker extremely delicious. Higher bake temp (350F) resulted in slight steam buildup that created two distinct layers. Top was thin and glassy, bottom was cracker-like, crispy.
Ramekin: Gravity wins again. discard spread onto sidewalls did not set fast enough, ended up with some pooling in the corners.

Future Direction

Ramekin: Higher bake temp might actually set the walls before they begin pooling. Some wall coating would suggest this is a possibility. Will also test bottom only crust, don’t see any issues here but not the ultimate aim of the project.
