Good, Butter, Best

Good, Butter, Best French pastry, comforting desserts, some Filipino flavors, and with a side of whimsy and excellence.

Good, Butter, Best is the creation of Diana Halog Sicat who graduated from UC Berkeley, but was always influenced by growing up and making desserts with her mother. After a stint in the professional realm, she got certified in Pastry Arts from the ST Pastry school. She had the opportunity to learn from pastry masters such as Stephane Treand, MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France), Jean-Marc Touya, and

Franck Riffaud. Now she takes her appreciation of French pastry and interspersing her Filipino-American heritage into her pastries.

Today’s pastry: Skolebrød or Skoleboller (Norwegian for “school bread”). Sometimes life creates an Instagram post, but in this case Instagram inspired me! I was looking around on discovery page and saw these beautiful pastries- Skolebrød.This is a super soft bread, lightly spiced with cardamom, and very delicious. It seemed like a random mix of things- Coconut? Cardamom? Pastry cream? But all of them combined to make a delightful pastry that feels light and rich at the same time. Filipino American baker>Norwegian Bread>polish baking dish. Super multicultural 😉. I recommend getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things- this was a pleasant discovery. •

Pro (not really) tip: if you happen to slightly over bake your pie and have cracks that bug you- just sprinkle some cornflake crumble on top! It adds a really nice and unexpected texture to a silky pumpkin pie.
