Baskets with cream - meringue.
I often cook shortcrust pastry baskets. Basically, I made baskets with raisins and boiled condensed milk. But recently in one of the culinary magazines I subtracted a recipe for meringue cream.
They wrote that a very tasty cream, suitable for decorating cakes. Just the other day it was my husband's birthday, and I decided to diversify these pastries and cook shortbread baskets with cream. And indeed, it turned out very tasty and unusual. All guests were delighted.
The cream is so delicious that everyone licked their fingers in the truest sense of the expression. And I was so pleased that now I cook this cream very often, decorate cakes and cakes with it, and sometimes I make a dessert with jam with this cream. The cream is obtained with a caramel flavor. Very tasty, I recommend it to everyone. I am sharing with you a recipe for shortcrust pastry with cream - meringue.
Sand baskets with cream recipe:
For baskets:
250 grams of butter or margarine for baking;
250 grams of sugar;
Flour (as much as the dough takes);
2 tsp baking powder.
For cream:
6 proteins;
100 ml. water;
150 grams of sugar;
Juice of half a lemon.
Shortbread dough baskets with cream preparation:First, let's prepare shortbread dough for baskets.
Once everything is ready, you can knead the dough for the baskets. As I mentioned, the dough for the baskets will cook shortbread. To do this, grate the margarine. In order to make it easier and more convenient to grate margarine, put it in the freezer for 10 minutes, it will become hard and easier to rub.
Next, sift the flour. Take about a glass of flour to start. Do not be lazy to sift the flour several times in advance, this will have a positive effect on your baking. After all, when sifting, the flour is saturated with oxygen, and baking becomes more airy.
Put the baking powder into the flour and mix. Next, add the eggs.
And sugar, and knead the dough. The dough turns out like this, but this is not its final form. We put it on the table.
And now add as much flour as you need in order to form just such a lump of dough. Add flour until the dough starts to come off well from your hands.
That's it, the dough is ready. Shortcrust pastry is very soft and pliable. Now we take our dough, pinch off small pieces from it and form balls. And with these balls we fill the molds for baking baskets.
As soon as all the baskets are filled with dough, put the molds on a baking sheet and send them to the oven.
By the way, in order for the dough not to rise, the dough needs to be pierced in several places with a fork.
We bake for about 15 minutes, periodically checking the readiness of the baskets. We take out the finished sand baskets from the oven.
Remove the baskets from the molds and let them cool. By the way, from such metal molds, pastries are removed very quickly, and note that we did not grease the molds themselves.
Sand baskets are ready, it's time to prepare the cream.
Proteins are separated from the yolks. We do not need the yolks, but the whites need to be beaten well with a mixer. By the way, in order for the proteins to whip well, they must be very cold. It is better if you put them in the freezer for two minutes. Cold whites whip very well. Beat for about 10 minutes. You should get a very strong foam.
Now you need to prepare the syrup. To do this, take 100 milliliters cold water, pour it into a saucepan and put on fire. Add sugar.
Cook the syrup, stirring constantly over medium heat. You need to cook for about 7 minutes. During the cooking process, add the juice of half a lemon.
The main thing is not to digest the syrup. I will tell you how to check the readiness of the syrup. Since the syrup is cooked on the basis of sugar, you should get caramel. At cold temperatures, the caramel hardens. Therefore, you need to take ice water(before preparing the syrup, put a glass of water in the freezer), and drop a drop of syrup into this water. If the drop hardens instantly and a small caramel forms, then the syrup is ready, and if the drop just dissolves in water, then you need to boil the syrup more. Don't be scared, it's not that hard. The finished syrup should have bubbles like this.
For many, these cakes are a memory from the past. AT Soviet times such "Baskets" were invariably sold in pastry shops. They are prepared quite simply, they look appetizing, and the taste depends on what you use for decoration. There are a lot of options! I think that both children and adults will enjoy tea drinking with these delicious cakes.
Necessary:
Dough:
- Yolks - 2 pcs.
- Margarine (draining butter) - 100 g
- Flour - ok. 1.3 stack. (glass 250 ml)
- Sugar - 1 tbsp. l.
- Salt - 1/3 tsp without a slide
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Vanillin - to taste
Cream:
- Proteins - 2 pcs.
- Sugar - 120 g
- Vanillin - optional
Additionally:
- Jam, fruit - optional
Cooking:
Divide the eggs into whites and yolks.
We set aside the squirrels - we will need them for, and first we prepare the dough and bake the baskets.
Mix butter with flour and baking powder into crumbs.
Best by hand.
Mix yolks with sugar and salt.
Pour the yolks into the butter crumbs.
Start kneading with a spoon, then continue with your hands.
The dough should be easy to work with and plastic, if yours is too soft, then add a little flour.
For cakes "Basket" I use metal or silicone molds.
The number of cakes will depend on the layer of dough that you lay out in the form. Someone likes the dough thicker, someone thinner, choose whichever you like best. AT silicone molds the dough can be made very thin. In metal, it is better to be a little thicker so that it does not break when removed from the mold. Below I will show one secret if the dough is slightly stuck.
So, put a ball of dough in a mold and spread it with your fingers over the entire surface.
Grease metal molds with butter.
This is what it looks like in metal.
And it's in silicone.
We send for baking in the oven.
Determine the time according to your oven.
In mine at a temperature of about 180 degrees baked for about 15 minutes.
We get supplies.
This dough for baskets is universal, it can be filled with both protein and butter cream.
If you use oil, then the blanks must cool completely.
If the dough does not want to "jump" out of the metal mold, help it with a toothpick.
This does not happen with silicone ones, but I confess that I prefer metal baskets.
When all the blanks are removed from the molds, we proceed to the preparation of the cream.
The site has detailed description cooking . In my opinion, it is ideal for filling basket cakes.
You can paint it any color. Here, here I have a pink one, I used a few drops of gel color.
And now I'll show you the options for this cake. I have cooked it many, many times. Choose for yourself what you like or come up with your own.
You can put sour on the bottom thick jam, you get such “Baskets”, as before, in Soviet times.
You can just lay out the cream beautifully - it is also very tasty.
You can put the cream in “nests” and put fruits inside.
It turns out very tasty with sour ones - orange, kiwi, strawberries.
Fruits or berries should be laid immediately before serving, but baskets filled with cream can withstand several hours at room temperature.
If the meringue is cooked correctly, then the cakes will not flow. It happened that cooked in the evening looked great in the morning, if left uneaten. Naturally, this is if without fruit.
I hope you enjoy "Baskets".
Enjoy your meal!
