布列塔尼酥餅 Galettes bretonnes 18/11/2017

I was having lunch at the Pavilion on 17/11/2017 (Friday). After meal, we had a window shopping before heading to our Spa treatments. We saw this type of cookies named "Galettes bretonnes" & it is RM2 per piece.
Last night, after dinner, I started to search recipe online and decided to make it by following the recipe by 4F COOKING HOME. But my unsalted butter only left 90g which the recipe requires 120g. Thinking to proportionate the quantity but I have forgotten and weighted the ingredients in original recipe. So, I have no choice but modify the quantities by changing the egg yolk into whole egg, wine into vanilla extract with low oil version which is suitable to toddlers too.... Phew~ luckily it was successfully baked and the taste is great!!!!!

那天在商場的烘焙店看見這個叫做『布列塔尼酥餅』的餅乾,各別包裝的,一片馬幣2塊錢。好貴吃呢!
記得之前有看見一個『布列塔尼酥餅』的食譜連接。看了食譜,冰箱裡的奶油不夠,於是想做少一點,可是健忘的我却忘了需要減少其他材料的份量。將錯就錯,把食譜略改了,變成適合我家的4歲女兒吃了!用了全蛋,有機香草精,少點油的做法,成品成功!寶貝很喜歡!
謝謝原食譜:4F COOKING HOME


布列塔尼酥餅
Galettes bretonnes

布列塔尼酥餅是法國西北部布列塔尼區的傳統小點心,特色是使用當地濃厚獨特香味的奶油,烘烤的厚餅乾嚐起來口感酥脆,在口中散發出甜中略帶鹹味的自然奶香。

中筋麵粉 .......... 120g
泡打粉 .......... 1g
杏仁粉 .......... 80g
奶油 (室温软化).......... 90g

刷表面用:
蛋液 .......... 少許(從食譜裡的雞蛋取1湯匙)

做法:
1. 中筋麵粉、泡打粉與杏仁粉混合過篩備用。
2. 奶油、砂糖與鹽放入攪拌器攪拌,加入步驟1的粉類。
3. 加入蛋黃與蘭姆酒。
4. 拌勻即可不要攪拌過度,若奶油較軟可以保鮮膜包起,冷藏約1個小時使其充分冷卻變硬。
5. 取出麵糰以桿麵棍壓成約1cm的厚度,以環狀烤模切出形狀,刷上蛋液後以叉子劃出線條。
*如果帶著環狀烤模進入烤箱烤,要記得在內側塗上一層軟奶油。

焦糖奶油千層酥 (少甜版) Caramel Puff Pastry Biscuits

Happy weekend dear all mommies!
Hear say there is a super hot snack in Korea named Samlip Benedine "Caramel Pastry Puff Biscuits"
I found the recipe shared and feedbacks are too sweet for somebody that don't like too sweet. I have modified the recipe to make it just nice in sweetness. Oh yes! I made it! This sinful snack is truly sinful which you can't stop once you start eating!!!
My gal likes it so much. She doesn't wanna share with me when I ask for some from her. So, you can imagine how yummy is it! 😋😋😋😝😝😝

(suitable for baby above 2 years old)
(適合2歲以上的孩子)


焦糖奶油千層酥
材料:
A. 冷凍酥皮10片 (我的烤盤一盤剛好擺5片的量)

B. 蛋白糖霜:蛋白1個、糖粉60g(原食譜130g)、低筋麵粉20g、玉米粉10g(原食譜:沒有)

C.焦糖液: 細砂60克、水15克,鮮奶油50克。
[做法:使用瓦斯爐煮,鮮奶油先隔水加熱備用。細砂加水,中途不攪拌,煮至咖啡色後離火加入鮮奶油拌勻,待冷後裝入擠花袋備用 。 ]

做法:
1)取出冷凍千層酥皮,室溫稍微解凍

2)蛋白打至起泡,加入糖粉,打至無粉狀,再加入過篩的低筋麵粉打至無粉狀,裝入擠花袋

3)每塊千層酥皮切成16小塊,用叉在酥皮上紮9個洞,然後排放入烤盤。


4)把作法2的蛋白糖霜以畫螺旋的方式擠上千層酥皮,邊邊大約留0.1公分,糖霜不會流出去喔! 糖霜很自然的填滿酥皮。

5)先將烤箱預熱190度。


6)在糖霜千層酥皮上用焦糖奶油醬畫個X,難免手抖。


7)如果一次只烤1盤,烘烤約10分鐘後打開爐門,把烤盤調轉(里外對調)繼續烘烤10-15 分鐘。 (我有顧爐,畢竟每台烤箱溫度不同)

如果一次烤2盤,時間設定25分鐘,烤12分鐘後把烤盤上下對調,並將烤盤轉(里外對調)重新放入烤箱,調低烤箱溫度到160'C繼續烘烤10-15 分鐘。 

8)焦糖奶油千層酥出爐放涼後,立刻放入密封罐保存。

注意:

擠焦糖時,洞口一定要夠小,才能擠出超細線,烤出來的線條才會美!

Video Demo: how to squeeze the meringue and caramel


Caramel Crispy Puff Pastry Biscuits
(Less sweet version)
Ingredients:
A. 10pcs pastry puff  (my baking tray can lay 5pcs )

B. Sugar Meringue frosting: 1pc egg white, 60g powdered sugar (original recipe was 130g), 20g low protein flour, 10g corn flour  (original recipe: if using 130g powdered sugar, omit this)

C. caramel sauce: 60g sugar, 15g water, 50g whipping cream / heavy cream
Cook with gas stove:
double boil heavy cream till hot, off fire and keep dipping in the hot water. Use another pot, pour in sugar and water, cook under medium fire till boiling (do not stir) and colour getting brownish (till a bit lighter than the colour desired) then off fire. Add in the warmed heavy cream and mix well with wooden spatula (beware of the mixture might splash out a little) . Pour the caramel sauce into piping bag after cooling down. Set aside.

Method
1) Remove the puff pastry from freezer, thawed slightly at room temperature.

2) Beat the egg white with electric whisk till bubbling, add in powdered sugar, beat till no lumps then add in sieved flour and continue beating for a while.  Pour the meringue into a piping bag too. set aside.

3) Use a sharp knife and dust with some flour, cut the puff pastry into 16 equally square pieces. Lay the mini puff pastry onto the baking tray which laid with baking sheet.

4) Cut a small hole to the piping bag with meringue, squeeze the sugar meringue by way to draw a spiral on the mini puff pastry (leaving about 0.1 cm at the sides to prevent excess sugar meringue flow out of the surface of the mini puff pastry.

5) Preheat the oven to 190'C now before proceed to the next step.

6) all mini puff pastry are full with sugar meringue on the surface, cut the piping bag with caramel sauce with a tiny hole and draw a "X" marking on each sugar meringue topped puff pastry. practice more will avoid shaking hand.


7) If you only bake a plate at a time, bake for about 10 minutes and then open the oven door, turn the baking tray (inside - out), return the baking tray into oven and continue baking for 10-15 minutes. 

If you bake 2 dishes at a time, set the time for 25 minutes, switch the baking tray up and down and also inside-out after baking for 12 minutes, then lower the temperature to 160'C and continue baking for 10-15 minutes. 
***(watching the oven to avoid over burnt. Different oven temperature is different)***

8) Remove the caramel puff pastry cookies out of the oven, cool down before storing in air tight container

note:
When squeezing caramel, the hole must be small enough to squeeze the ultra-fine lines, baked lines will be beautiful!

31/10/2017 (TUE) DRUM PANCAKES大鼓燒

【大鼓燒】
材料:
蛋黃糊:蛋黃兩個,植物油25克,玉米粉5克,低粉35克,牛奶45
蛋白霜:蛋白兩個,糖25克

內餡:
**我用芒果鳳梨果醬
**鮮奶油150g打發+果醬隨意
**鮮奶油150g打發+抹茶粉/紫薯粉/可可粉/任何蔬果粉

**或者任何果醬/花生醬(自製/買的)
**美乃滋+肉鬆
**番薯泥
**乳酪醬

做法:
1)先在烤盤上抹層薄薄的奶油後灑高粉,輕輕敲去除多餘的粉
2)用適合的容器在上面印出適當大小的圈(用量米杯或任何圓形的杯子)(其实我没有做这个步骤,凭视觉挤出面糊而已)
3)低粉+玉米粉先用濾網過篩備用
4)油放入鍋內用瓦斯爐稍微加熱至看見油痕,倒入過篩的粉類攪拌,再慢慢加入蛋黃和鮮奶攪拌均勻完成蛋黃糊
5)蛋白放入乾淨無水分的鍋內先用低速打到粗泡出現後,分兩次加入細砂糖打至接近乾性發泡(拿起有小彎鉤,大約八九分打發)
6)取1/3蛋白霜至蛋黃內攪拌均勻,在倒回蛋白霜鍋內用切拌法輕輕拌勻
7)放入擠花袋,沿著剛剛印的圈定位不用轉動擠出適當的麵糊
8)烤箱預熱170度的烤箱中層,烘烤18-22分鐘(烤溫與時間僅供參考)
9)將大鼓燒放在铁網架上,待冷卻
10)在大鼓燒的一面塗抹一層內餡,然後放另一片大鼓燒粘在一起。

TIPS:
👉烤盤抹奶油,撒高粉,搖一搖,倒掉多餘的粉才不會黏底。
👉用米杯在已撒好高粉的烤盤上面蓋出圓形當模子。
👉蛋白打八九分發,麵糊要挺烤出來才漂亮。
👉麵糊倒入擠花袋,剪適當大小的洞擠在圓圈圈內,這樣每個大鼓燒就會一樣大小了。
