Shokupan? That’s where I had the idea for the roux! I heard about Shokupan on an episode of Sarah and Duck, and want to give it a try (and might attempt to next weekend) so pulled in some elements of that to make this just as an experiment.
I’m going to try and make another version of this, I think, by using the milk to steep some masala chai, turmeric and a little saffron, and then use that for the roux, and instead of fruit, just a light sprinkling of sugar. I’ve no idea if it will work but in my head it’s going to taste incredible.
