Chapter 190: Chiffon Cake
With Yuris's words, everyone's eyes shifted from Zhang Xiaoran's body to Abigail, and people expected what kind of cupcakes the little boy would use to respond to Zhang Xiaoran's romantic cup of roses.
Zhang Xiaoran said a little proudly: "Little brother, if it's too late to admit defeat now, my sister won't take your money." ”
Abigail also smiled: "No need sister, I believe in my own cooking." And it seems that your cupcakes don't look so much in line with the mood you want to express. ”
Zhang Xiaoran's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked rhetorically, "What?" ”
Abigail said with a smile: "The traditional cupcakes are muffins, and the characteristics of muffins are that they rely on the hot chemical reaction of baking powder to produce carbon dioxide, so that the cake is filled with bubble holes, so as to achieve the purpose of making the cake soft." So for cupcakes, baking powder can't be left unadded. Muffin cakes are very suitable for enthusiasts who don't have many professional tools at home, because it doesn't matter if the egg whites are beaten or not, as long as there is bubble baking and the ingredients are mixed evenly. But its characteristics can also become your fatal flaw, muffin eggs are a pastry similar to heavy oil cakes, but it is much softer than heavy oil cakes, and because of the milk added to it, the cake is very moist on the inside. Although the muffin contains a lot of oil, it does not have a greasy feeling, but it will appear very heavy and thick. This is undoubtedly a hard flaw for your Valentine's Day sweet theme. Muffin-type cakes and cream don't go well at all. The thick muffin texture will only ruin the atmosphere you've worked so hard to create with whipped cream. If you don't add baking powder, maybe it's a lot better. ”
Zhang Xiaoran retorted: "If you don't add baking powder, what kind of cake do you make." Unless it's ...... Wait a minute. You mean chiffon cake? ”
Abigail smiled innocently. Said: "That's right, it's chiffon cake." ”
Zhang Xiaoran shook her head desperately and said, "If chiffon is made into a paper cup, it will be too difficult." The requirements are even more demanding than soufflé, and it is technically impossible to maintain the shape of the chiffon cake first. ”
Abigail shot back: "Really? So how do you explain the paper cup chiffon cake I made? ”
Abigail gently took out the cupcake in his hand, and the pale yellow dough looked like a faint lemon. But it has an almost transparent texture that makes people look unpredictable. Compared with Zhang Xiaoran's overly fancy paper cup roses, Abigail's cupcakes have a sense of lightness, which makes people feel a lot more relaxed when they look at it, without too much cumbersome decoration, and the flat hair surface and bright color make me feel a lot better just by looking at it.
Abigail explains, "This is my dish, Shimizu Cupcakes. ”
Zhang Xiaoran slowly closed her eyes, and then let out a long sigh. Said helplessly: "I didn't expect someone to be able to make chiffon cakes into paper cups, what a bold idea." Can you tell me how to do it? ”
Algabi nodded. He replied, "Of course." First of all, the ingredients are 3 egg whites, 50 grams of sugar, 1 gram of salt, 50 grams of salad oil, 1 whole egg, 3 egg yolks, and 50 grams of low flour. ”
Zhang Xiaoran frowned slightly, and said, "Wait, isn't this just four eggs?" ”
Abigail shook his head and said, "No, the three eggs must be separated, otherwise you won't be able to make this cupcake." ”
Zhang Xiaoran asked, "Why?" ”
Abigail sighed helplessly and said, "I'll show you it myself." ”
Abigail turned and walked to the counter, and there were three clicks, and the egg yolk and egg whites were expertly sorted by Abigail in an instant, and the eggshell was already in the trash can.
Abigail's fingers fluttered with two more chopsticks, and he rattled into the iron dish containing the egg whites.
Algaibi expertly explains: "The chopsticks had to be angled at 15 degrees to beat the egg whites until they were coarsely foamed, and then sugar and salt were added. ”
Zhang Xiaoran said with some astonishment: "Is this to use egg white as baking powder......
Abigail nodded and said, "That's right, exactly. The chicken is lightly proteinized, salted and sugared, and quickly beaten until dry and foamy. I don't think you don't know what dry foaming is, right? ”
Zhang Xiaoran responded: "Of course I know, after the egg white or fresh cream is foamed, add sugar and stir until the texture is obvious and snow-white and smooth, elastic when hooked and the tail end is straight, which refers to dry foaming." ”
Abigail nodded, and said: "That's right, beat the egg whites to dry foam, to act as baking powder, the texture is lighter and softer, when the egg whites are completely beaten to dry, then the egg bowl will be tilted, the foam will not flow, and it will not fall down, the egg beating head will be gently lifted, you can see the short straight sharp corners, and the sharp corners in the basin can also be seen upright." At this time, a little cotton wool foam tissue on the side of the basin is not allowed. ”
Zhang Xiaoran gritted her teeth and said, "But if you want to get to this point, even if you use a blender, it will take half an hour." It only took an hour before and after, which was not enough time to even bake, let alone process other ingredients. ”
Abigail shook his head and said, "People who rely on machines are doomed to failure, but I use human labor." My hand speed is comparable to the power of the machine, and the frequency of the machine is the same, there is no way to cope with the protein situation in different states, only by feeling its texture with my hands, can I shorten the process of beating, for me, it only takes fifteen minutes. ”
A little cold sweat had already seeped out of Zhang Xiaoran's forehead, and Abigail beat the whole egg, egg yolk, and oil together with a whisk as the core ingredient of the cake, and gently stirred the meringue and egg yolk paste together to ensure that there were no impurities, and finally slowly poured it into a paper cup to set the mold.
Algabi then said, "So do you have any questions about this clear water cupcake?" ”
Dry foaming won Abigail a pure overwhelming advantage, looking at the soft surface of the chiffon cake, Zhang Xiaoran could only shake her head helplessly, and said: "Even if the final score is lower than yours, I still spend money to buy this clear water cupcake, thank you for teaching me a lesson, thank you, lovely Abigail." ”
Abigail stretched out his hand and responded, "You're welcome, a million for the event." ”
Zhang Xiaoran shook her head gently, although she lost, she still exuded a more pitiful look, this slightly lost look made people more impulsive to protect her. To some extent, Zhang Xiaoran has won herself a higher popularity.
Zhang Xiaoran replied without hesitation: "I won't owe you anything, just the tuition I paid at that time, in order to be able to create a more delicious cupcake, I am willing to take this class." And before the score comes out, it's not certain who wins and who loses. ”
Shimizu Cupcake fell into the scoring instrument and effortlessly broke through the ninety level, soaring directly to ninety-six points, and finally landed at ninety-six points and thirteen.
Faced with this score, Zhang Xiaoran could only sigh helplessly and said, "It's really not simple, I admit defeat." ”
Abigail smiled and said, "Then this clear water cupcake belongs to you." ”
Zhang Xiaoran nodded and said with a smile: "Since I won my sister, I have to work hard next." ”
Abigail replied, "I will, and it's only half of my strength." ”
Zhang Xiaoran snorted lightly and said, "What a reckless little ghost." ”
Yuris interjected into the conversation between the two and said, "Okay, then the winner of the round is our Abigail, let's congratulate her on her successful defense with a round of applause." At the same time, we also applauded and thanked our lovely Ms. Zhang Xiaoran, and thanked her paper cup roses for bringing us a love-like experience. According to the previous rules, there is a 2% bonus to the score of the first duel. So in the end, Abigail's score was 98.05, and Zhang Xiaoran's score was 96.9! If the next contestant can't break the score of 96.9, our popular lady can still get our test spot! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the bottom, and suddenly someone at the bottom reacted, although this was a ring match, but in the end, it was still based on the score to sort the rankings. So you don't have to win your opponent in the course of the duel, just try to get as many points as possible. Even if there is a tie in the last double hundred, you can still get a place in the test. Thinking of this, everyone reacted to how stupid it was to choose silence before.
The increase of 2 percent directly increased Zhang Xiaoran's score by 1.9 points, and the difference of nearly two points was enough to threaten the true strength of some people.
As for this result, Zhang Xiaoran didn't have much insight, and he just participated in this competition to enrich his cooking experience, and now he has gained more unique cupcake skills, which is enough for him.
Spent one million to buy Abigail's cupcakes, Zhang Xiaoran admired: "Under the simple appearance, the materials are also very simple, but the taste is very delicate and soft, seemingly delicate but elastic and rich, soft and delicious, the meaning of clear water is named oil-free, even people with high blood sugar can use it, it is really a very gentle experience." ”
Seeing Zhang Xiaoran's satisfied smiling face, Yuris also continued to talk about the game and pushed it to the next round, and continued to host: "Then the second round of the ring match will continue to be played by Abigail, who we have successfully crowned, and the theme of the next round is very ingenious, which is the same kind of cuisine presented by Abigail before, that is, chiffon cake!" (To be continued......)
