    Milk Tart (South African version)

    Yep. I stopped pursuing the recipe, lost interest. I probably bought 20 different flavors, every "pancake" I could find, but they were all just just meh. I then studied the chemical compounds of those that are listed to try and isolate the specific molecules, gave up as it too much work for...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    Thats my next mission @manz1kw3 - good old fashioned pannekoek. I started on it a few months ago but its been an off and on project. The difficulty is to find someone to collaborate with as its much easier when more than one person works on a recipe. Like this one with @man00ver which I think...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    @G-Fog let me know if you improve on the crust. @manz1kw3 I'll give WF's Croissant a try. Have had spotty result with their other flavors. Biggest disappointment was their Crepe-SZ. A short review I wrote "Def not the traditional french crepe I'm used to. Has a heavy dose of ginger which...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    @G-Fog you will not be disappointed. I also strongly recommend you go with the original V5 recipe where we had the perfect balance. The increases in V5b threw the taste slightly off. I also swapped out the FA Condensed Milk for FW Dulce De Leche at same % as the the powdery taste still came...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    Hey @man00ver. Agreed that these 2 recipes age very well. This has become my 2nd ADV (can't just have one you know) and I must have gone through 2 to 3 liters of this stuff already. I mix 1liter at a time and let it sit for at least 4 weeks before I touch it. I am still impressed with how...

    Pancake (aka crepe or pannekoen - European version)

    @BlueMoods I may just whip up a basic custard, biscuit, butter and vanilla mix with a touch of Joy. I have CAP's Butter Cream and Golden Butter - I'll start with the latter.

    Pancake (aka crepe or pannekoen - European version)

    Update on my previous disastrous attempts. Both V1 mixes turned out to be a bust. I remixed a few other alternatives and those were a bust as well. I then proceeded to buy every pancake/waffle from CAP, TFA and FW. Mixed each of them @ 3% and steeped for 2 and 4 weeks, tasting at each...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    @man00ver FWIW my original V5 is spot on for me. The changes in the V5.b recipe threw out the balance we've been working towards so diligently. After vaping 120ml of it I've gone back and mixed 2 x 120ml of the original V5 and life is good again. I'll post the same on ELR and ECF once I'm...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    I've added FA Cinnamon Ceylon to the list for my next order which I'm placing later today. Will also get me some Hangsen Caramel Toffee while I'm at it (that video review you shared piqued my interest). Must say I like TFA's Cinnamon Spice for not being a cinnamon guy. I'll def try FA to...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    @man00ver, what has your experience been with the Cinnamon in the Milktart ? I have not worked with Cinnamon and am not familiar with it's influence on the overall flavor, depending on when it is injected into the mix (either during the original mix, or after the juice has steeped to maturity)...

    Subs should work out well @man00ver

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    For my final tunings on the Milktart experiment: Milktart (South African version) v5.b TFA Dairy Milk - 0.5% FA Meringue - 0.25% FA Apple Pie - 1% INW Biscuit – 2% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust - 0.5% CAP Sweet Cream - 1% TFA Sweet Cream - 1% FW Dulce De Leche - 0.5% INW Shisha Vanilla - 1% INW...

    Milk Tart (South African version)

    I broke out the v5 version over the weekend for a test drive and am really happy with the result. I ended up mixing up two 120ml bottles, the first as per the above recipe and on the second I swapped the FA Condensed Milk with FW Dulce De Leche. I think this recipe is 97.5% on target. The...

    BWB Malty Toffee Clone

    I have not @man00ver but am very interested in its taste profile. If you buy please share any feedback.

    Pancake (aka crepe or pannekoen - European version)

    I've been mulling over this recipe for a few days and decided to throw something together so there's at least some kind of baseline. Coincidentally I also sent an email to Linda at TFA to ask for guidance. Naturally crickets is all I got. Nonetheless the mission continues. I put the...

    BWB Malty Toffee Clone

    @Katcandoo this recipe intrigued me so I quickly whipped up 2 x 30 ml samples this morning. Please know that I have not tasted or smelled BWB's Matly Toffee so I have no reference to the taste profile. But I had to do this to satisfy my own curiosity: V1 EM (10% dilution) - 10% LA Toffee - 3%...

    BWB Malty Toffee Clone

    @Katcandoo you got me at Toffee. I was in a similar position years ago with a juice called Toffee Coffee, made by a vendor in San Diego. As people became more aware of the health risks of the "custardy" and "buttery" notes in flavorings, a lot of vendors switched to the more healthy...

    Pancake (aka crepe or pannekoen - European version)

    Hey @man00ver Yes quite the challenge but worth the effort me thinks. Add to your list Malted Milk, maybe Cake Batter, INW Custard (good eggy taste, not sure how the custard notes will play), Brown Sugar (not sure). A plain doughnut flavor may supplement it as well. I've got all the waffles...

    Pancake (aka crepe or pannekoen - European version)

    I am on a quest to come up with a pancake / crepe recipe. To clarify what I’m after, the pancake in question is a traditional European or South African pancake (aka pannekoek, aka Belgium/Dutch pannekoeken) which is almost exactly the same as a French crepe. So for all practical purposes think...
