Pear & Apple Strudel Served with a Raspberry Compote and English Pear & Apple Strudel served with a Raspberry Compote and English Custard By Shona from Amandine INTRODUCTION A warm and comforting dessert perfect for Sundays and cold autumnal nights. SERVES 10 INGREDIENTS Strudel 3 pears peeled, cored and cut into small even cubes PHOTOGRAPH HERE IF YOU HAVE ONE 2 apples peeled, cored and cut into small even cubes 150g soaked raisons (soaked for half an hour in apple Juice) 200g ground almonds 250g melted butter 10 sheets of filo pastry Zest of 1 orange 1 teaspoon cinnamon 50g brown sugar 50g caster sugar RaspBerry Compote 500g frozen raspberries 50g caster sugar English Custard 250ml full-fat milk 250ml double cream 50g caster sugar 1 – 2 vanilla pods 6 egg yolks METHOD Strudel Place raisins in a bowl and cover with apple juice. Leave for half an hour. Preheat your oven to 200 ˚C Sauté the cubed apples and pears in a dry hot pan with the sugars and spices until they have a golden colour. Leave to rest. Meanwhile grate the orange zest and drain the raisins. Mix the apples & pears with the zest and raisons. Lay a sheet of filo pastry flat and sprinkle with flaked almonds and sugar. Place a small amount of the pear and apple mixture in the centre of the sheet and fold the filo sheets lengthways over the filling so that meet. Then fold the short edges over the top, and roll. With each layer brush with melted butter and add sugar and ground almonds. Place on baking sheet on an ovenproof tray. Once you have made your strudels place in the oven till golden (approx. 25-30 mins), turning occasionally if necessary. RaspBerry Compote Add frozen raspberries to dry hot pan and as soon as they start to melt, add sugar – doing so at this stage ensures the fruit keeps its tartness. The compote is ready once the raspberries are fully defrosted. English Custard Put milk and cream into a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of the sugar (helps to stop it boiling over). Scrape seeds from vanilla and add them to the pan with the pods. Bring slowly to the boil. In a large bowl, beat yolks and remaining sugar with whisk until pale and creamy. When milk and cream mix is almost at the point of boiling, Pour about a third of this onto the egg mixture, whisking well. Turn the pan down to a very low heat and return this to the milk and cream mix in the pan, always stirring. Cook over a very low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until it thickens slightly. Remove pan from heat and strain the custard through a fine sieve into a chilled bowl. Cover and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin forming. .

Technical Aspect (Method, Technical Terms, Equipment) Trouble Shooting Importance Notes on Pastry and Baking Tips for Beginners Understanding of Ingredients - Flour WHEAT FLOUR IS the most important ingredient in the bakeshop. It provides bulk and structure to most of the baker’s products, including breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries. Importance Notes on Pastry and Baking Tips for Beginners Understanding of Ingredients - Sugar SUGARS OR SWEETENING agents have the following purposes in baking: ## They add sweetness and flavour. ## They create tenderness and fineness of texture, partly by weakening the gluten structure. ## They give crust colour. ## They increase keeping qualities by retaining moisture. ## They act as creaming agents with fats and as foaming agents with eggs. ## They provide food for yeast. Isomalt Importance Notes on Pastry and Baking Tips for Beginners Understanding of Ingredients - Fat THE MAJOR FUNCTIONS of fats in baked items are: 1) To add moistness and richness. 2) To increase keeping quality. 3) To add flavour. 4) To assist in leavening when used as a creaming agent, or to give flakiness to puff pastry, pie dough, and similar products. Many fats are available to the baker. Each has distinctive properties that make it suitable for different purposes. Among the properties a baker must consider when selecting a fat for a specific use are its melting point, its softness or hardness at different temperatures, its flavour, and its ability to form emulsions Importance Notes on Pastry and Baking Tips for Beginners Understanding of Ingredients - Eggs Eggs perform the following functions in baking: 1.

  • Spinach and Cheese Pie.Pdf
    Spinach and cheese pie We found ıspanaklı ve peynirli börek to be as common in Turkey as spanakotyropita is in Greece, and made a point of sampling as many as humanly possible, purely in the name of research of course. They are essentially the same dish – a savoury pie made of multiple layers of ultra-thin pastry with a spinach and cheese filling. Sometimes it’s just spinach, or just cheese, but I like it with both. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on which country, region, town, village, bakery or home you’re in, and with different fillings. The form here is nice and simple and works with the packets of filo dough we can find in shops in the UK. I have made the filling purposefully generous in quantity and moist in consistency as I don’t like my börek dry. The recipe is loosely based on two very different versions I had the opportunity to make with chefs in Turkey and Greece – Engin Akin in Istanbul and Dimitris Mantsios in Naoussa. Serves: 6-8 for lunch or as a snack Total time: approx 1 hour 30 mins 400g (14 oz) spinach, well washed, well dried and quite finely chopped 200g (7 oz) Feta cheese, or similar, crumbled 1 small bunch spring onions, white and pale green parts only, finely sliced 2 eggs 225ml (<1 cup) thick whole plain yoghurt approx 2 tsps sumac or lemon juice, to taste approx ½ tsp chilli flakes, to taste salt and pepper, to taste approx 125g (4½ oz) butter 250g (8¾ oz) fresh filo pastry (approx 14 sheets) 1 egg yolk 1.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Pastel de Tentugal: serendipity or cultural syncretism? Abstract Pastel de Tentugal, a wrapped sweet pastry and a popular item of the traditional Doçaria Conventual Portuguesa, is simultaneously a food and an item of cultural history.1 As a food, the cigar-shaped pastry constitutes a distinctive item of confectionary. It exhibits most of the culinary attributes that seem mandatory in sweet-making – balanced symmetric shape with perfect texture, colour and flavour. Pastel de Tentugal strikes a flawless balance between visual structure and the gustatory experience, with its multilayered crispy wrapping enclosing a filling that teases the taste buds and senses. One bite breaks through the crunchy, delicate wrapping to expose the yellow, sweet content. Texture and flavour constitute the hallmark of the Pastel de Tentugal.

  • Laura's Family Baklava Recipe
    Laura’s family Baklava Recipe Ingredients: 1lb of Filo Dough (1 package) 1lb sweet cream butter (Only use real unsalted butter) Sugar syrup: 2 cups sugar (turbinado is best) 3/4 cups water 1 tsp orange blossom water (optional) Filling: 2 cups of nuts (pecans are my favorite, walnuts, almonds and unsalted pistachios are also good) 1/2 cup sugar (turbinado sugar) 1-2 tsp cinnamon (With the sugar and cinnamon I'm not sure if that is really what I put in. I just add it till it looks right, but I think this is close. One of these days I'll actually measure.) Thaw the Filo dough according to package directions. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Start the Sugar syrup first so it can cool. Combine the sugar, water and the orange blossom water into a sauce pan. Stir gently over a medium heat until all the sugar is dissolved. It will get a glassy look when it is done. Put the syrup aside to cool. Grind the 2 cups of nuts pretty finely, not to dust, but there should not be any large chunks. Add the sugar, cinnamon and nut mixture and mix in a bowl. Now you can open the Filo. Spread it out and cover with a layer of plastic wrap and a damp towel to keep it from drying out too much. Now you’ll need a 9 X 13 X 2 inch pan, the melted butter, and a pastry brush. (I tend to melt 1 stick at a time either in the microwave or over a low heat on the stove.) Each Filo Dough sheet will be two layers.
