1125.Cake Baked (1/5)
Hearing this, Lao Wang was depressed and said, "Then why do you still let me shake with my hands?" ”
Eva winked at him and smiled brightly, "Because I'm teaching you how to extract butter manually." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the end, a kitchen centrifuge was used, and two minutes after putting the cream in, the machine was opened and the container was taken out, and the top layer was a layer of fine butter.
There was also some snow-white thick milky substance underneath, and Wang Bo was about to pour it out, but Eva stopped him and said, "Why do you want to throw it away?" This is skim milk, left to be eaten with bread. ”
As she spoke, she gathered the lotion and took out a cream cloth to wrap the butter.
After wrapping it, she scooped up some ice cubes from the refrigerator to make a large bowl of ice water, then dipped the butter in the ice water.
"The purpose of this process is to purify the butter and further separate the residual cream from the solid butter, so that the resulting butter is thicker," she explains. ”
Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "Why is it so troublesome? I see that there is still butter in the refrigerator, so I use the one in the refrigerator, okay? ”
Eva kissed him and chuckled charmingly, "Be patient, you're not so anxious when you're in bed, come on, you've got to learn how to extract cream, right?" ”
He pretended to be shy: "Don't don't, don't say it so ambiguously, I have to blush and avoid hearing this kind of thing." ”
The two joked lightly, and the ice water turned milky white, so that it could be poured out, replaced with clean ice water, and the process was repeated.
"It has to be soaked in ice water until it no longer turns white, so that the extracted butter is more delicate." Eva explained to him.
After rinsing several times, the ice water finally began to remain clear, Wang Bo opened the cloth and poured out the delicate and thick butter inside, and then threw the cloth away.
Eva shook her head and said, "You're so wasteful, this wrap is reusable." ”
The butter that came out in this way was pure enough, and Eva took out a condiment box with salt, vanilla, rosemary, and other spices.
"If you want to make the butter a little saltier, then you can add a little salt, you know, butter without salt is very sweet." Eva divides the butter into portions for him to taste.
Wang Bo asked, "What else can be added?" I remember that the butter you made came in many flavors. ”
Eva smiled slightly and said, "Of course, you can add whatever you want, chives, oranges, lemon or lime peels, rosemary or thyme, and even garlic or ginger." ”
Finally, there is a process in which the butter is pressed into the mold. Make it into a variety of shapes.
There are several molds in the kitchen, in the shape of small animals, birds, stars and spheres, and so on.
Not only do these butter molds give the butter a delicate shape, but it also allows the butter to be divided into smaller portions, which makes it much easier to eat.
Having made the butter, Eva left two cups and put the rest in the fridge.
The butter they make is fluffy and warm, but New Zealanders are used to eating butter that is firm and a little cold, so it is frozen in the refrigerator.
Wang Bo scratched his head and said with a sigh of relief: "It's finally over, my God, extracting butter is more troublesome than making boiled meat." ”
Eva laughed, "Don't be so unambitious, my chef, come, let's bake pastries, this one is easier than extracting cream, and it's more fun because it can be eaten." ”
She went to prepare materials such as flour, eggs, and cornstarch, and Wang Bo took out a tool, which was an eight-inch round solid bottom mold.
Before baking the cake, it is necessary to apply butter to this mold, Wang Bo picked up the butter and looked at it, and found that a layer of water beads appeared on the surface.
"What's going on?" He asked.
Eva glanced at it and said, "Little problem, butter is very easy to get out of the water, because oil is insoluble in water, you know?" This problem is caused either by improper soaking in ice water or because the salt is not mixed evenly with the butter, so you can stir it for a while. ”
Lao Wang then stirred patiently, and at this time more water came out, and after a while after pouring it out, the butter did not come out again.
He smeared a light layer of butter under the mold, and Eva cut a long strip of aluminum foil, which she first laid horizontally on the bottom of the mold, and said, "Actually, if you are on the safe side, you should cut two crosses and spread them in." ”
"Then why did you cut one?"
Eva giggled, "Because I'm lazy." ”
Put aluminum foil paper to make it easier to remove the cake after baking, and then use baking oil paper to cut out an eight-inch circle and a long strip slightly higher than the height of the baking mold, and then spread it into the mold, the purpose is naturally the same.
Eva has opened the eggs and separated the whites and yolks.
Then make the ingredients, sugar, milk, heated and melted butter, and stirred egg whites, Wang Bo squeezed the fresh lemon juice and broke the egg yolk as well.
Baking a cake is not simple, it is not baked by mixing these ingredients and flour together.
First, use an electric whisk to froth out, then add lemon juice and caster sugar, and continue to beat with a whisk until it is fine.
At this time, some caster sugar should be added, and the meringue can be beaten continuously to form a small hook, so that it can be mixed with the egg yolk and batter.
After putting a small portion of the meringue in the batter and egg yolk and stirring it well, Eva shook the tool and said, "There are bubbles in it, if you don't get the bubbles out now, you will set off firecrackers in the oven later." ”
When everything is ready, place the baking tray in the oven and adjust the temperature to 140 degrees Celsius.
Soon, a sweet smell of pastry spreads.
Little Lori and the young president walked out yawning and said, "I'm so hungry, sister, why are you eating so late today?" ”
Eva laughed and said, "It's still a while before lunch, right?" ”
Little Lori said, "No, I mean breakfast." ”
Eva spread her hands and said, "Oh, sorry dear, breakfast is over - don't look at me like that, who made you wake up so late?" ”
Little Lori shouted unwillingly: "It's the weekend, I can stay in bed, this is what you said." ”
Eva grinned, "I mean, you can do it while I'm in bed, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be in bed this weekend." ”
The queen and the princess wagged their tails and ran, drooling vigorously as they watched the oven and sniffed the aroma.
Xiao Meng also flew in, threw down a rabbit and landed on Wang Bo's shoulder, making a few cooing sounds.
Zhuang Ding didn't eat breakfast, Wang Bo dug a pot of dog food for it, it slapped it away, looked at the oven with a blank eye, and licked its tongue quickly on its mouth, waiting to eat the baked cake.
