CHOCOLATE POCKY RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, custard powder, and tapioca starch. Set aside.
• Set up a double boiler over medium heat. Add the eggs and sugar to the top bowl, whisking vigorously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Add the water and evaporated milk to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to egg mixture and mix until well combined.
• Stir in the vanilla and vegetable oil.
• Pour the batter through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to catch any lumps.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• Transfer the batter to a spouted liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
• Set an egg waffle machine and set to 400°F (200°C). Grease lightly with oil. Add about 1 cup of batter to the machine and cook for 2½ minutes, until crispy and slightly brown. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the waffle to a wire rack to cool slightly. To achieve a round shape, lay the waffle over a curved surface, such as a rolling pin, to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve when the shell has cooled and become crisp, but is still slightly warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Set a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is completely rendered and the bacon has started to crisp, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
• Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pot, and add the onions, mustard seed, brown sugar, vinegar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine, then cover the pot, lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for 15 or 20 minutes. Remove the top, stir again and then partly cover the pot. Allow the mixture to cook until most of the liquid is gone and the onions have achieved a dark brown jamminess, approximately 60 to 70 minutes. (Add a little more water as needed.)
• Taste the jam, and add salt and pepper if necessary.
• Remove mixture from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Spoon the jam into a jar or bowl, then allow to cool completely. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
