Sikong Yao jumped to the Randy dessert circle, but he didn't know when he had an extra mango pancake in his hand.

Pancake is a transliteration, actually called pancake, hot pancake, which is a thin flat cake made by cooking batter on a baking sheet or pan. One of the earliest recipes made dates back to the 15th century AD.

There are three key ingredients to a delicious hot pancake: white flour without leaven, eggs and milk, and the creamy batter for baking is usually very slippery and soft, and the frying pan needs to be spread out in a thin layer at an angle.

The hardest part is to skillfully spread the batter flat on the pan and leave black spots on the hot white pancake that comes out of the pan if there are bubbles, as this cooking method does not involve fermentation.

This hot pancake can be topped with a traditional dessert such as lemon juice and sugar, or some hors d'oeuvres rolled in as a main course, and the classic way to make it is to fill it with a whole piece of mango, so when you think of pancakes, you will think of mango pancakes, but the durian pancakes with green crust are also a favorite, although for some people the taste is really not flattering.

The pancake is also divided into two types: American and British, and the kind of pie crust we usually eat in Western restaurants has a little cold and soft touch, a bit like a tender cheese slice, and that is the American pancake.

The other kind of English hot cake is very similar to the French crepe, but there is no decorative lace pattern, it is another completely different flavor, Sikong Yao bought this kind of English pancake that he has never eaten, the crispy ice skin and the cold cream filling, the plump flesh that will feel satisfied when you bite into it, Sikong Yao has already suspected that he will definitely become a fat man after returning to China this time!

It's not too late, so Randy's Dessert House has not entered the business state, and even the entire Robertson Street is very quiet, after all, foreigners don't want to live like the Chinese live like rushing to the market, they would rather sleep lazy.

Despite this, Randy's Dessert House also needs to make the doughnut batter early. Otherwise, it won't be enough to meet the supply for the whole day, and Randy's Dessert House sells nearly 17,000 donuts in a day.

Batisian came out of the bakery as soon as she entered, about to get a glass of water, when in fact she had been working for an hour.

When he saw Sikong Yao, Batisian praised, "Yo." Wake up so early! ”

Sikong Yao smiled happily: "I will learn a little more when I wake up early." ”

In fact, Sikong Yao was vomiting in her heart: "Obviously, you slept late." ”

If you can get up early at eight o'clock, then the life of Chinese can only be said to be ahead of its time, you know, Chinese children do not even have Saturdays and Sundays. And those students who are preparing for the exam in the third year of high school are angry earlier than chickens before dawn, and Sikong Yao has obviously lowered the average level.

Sikong Yao first asked obediently, "Sister Batisian, is there anything you need my help with?" I can still help with dough or decorating. ”

Batisian poured himself a glass of water, and then smiled: "No, no, no, we just finished it, it should be enough for noon, and the business will ease up a little more when it is a little more, and then we will enter the second round of preparations." So there's not much to do now. ”

Sikong Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "So there's nothing going on now?" ”

Batisian said amusedly, "Come on, I know what you mean, come with me." ”

Sikong Yao smiled and followed Batisian into the baking room, the temperature here is really not covered, dozens of fryers are waiting to devour the doughnuts, what a big pomp.

"Wow, that's so much!" Sikong Yao couldn't help but sigh.

Battisian explains: "If you don't prepare a few more fryers, you won't have time to supply them, which is quite a few. I always feel like it's a bit insufficient, maybe I'll have two more tomorrow. ”

Sikong Yao smacked his mouth, this is really a champion in three hundred and sixty lines, and those who sell donuts can have such a big show. It seems that it is very good to do well in a certain industry, and that is also very good.

Batisian said again: "Okay, come with me, and I'll teach you how to make a loaf of bread while there are no guests, that thing is loved by both Germans and French." Christmas will not be without its figure, and if you do it then, it will not be too embarrassing, at least the audience is quite wide. ”

Sikong Yao nodded obediently, and then followed, since it was a foreign competition, then the audience had already judged that they would no longer be familiar with themselves, there was no affection to talk about, everything had to be completed by their own efforts.

However, even in this case, there is still a need to pay attention to what kind of dessert to make, and how to cater to the tastes of more people is a big guarantee for whether you can achieve results.

After all, if Sikong Yao makes something mung bean cake, God knows if anyone will eat it, so if he follows the local customs, he has to follow the wishes of the people in whatever place he plays.

Coohof is a classic European-style cake, also known as "Kuklov" in some recipes, named after the appearance of a monk's hat, and is a must-have for Christmas in the Alsace region of Germany and France.

Kugelhopf, written as Kouglof in Le Cordon Bleu's book, originated in Austria, but it is also a local product in Alsace, France. The name comes from the German word for bread in the shape of a ball, and the addition of brewer's yeast makes it possible to make a round-brimmed hat similar to that worn by boys.

It has a unique crown shape made of a hollow spiral mold, and I think it will be a very eye-catching bread in any store.

Whether it's a cake or a bread, this delicious bread with high oil and sugar is actually a snack that belongs to the Brioche family. It was not clear whether Briocio was bread or cake, let alone the coo-huff that was divided.

However, Grunchhof is generally lighter and slightly harder than Briochean. The bread can be filled with wine-soaked raisins, candied orange peel or various preserves.

In modern times, France, Germany, Austria, and Hungary have been divided by princes on the map of history, similar to our Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. In retrospect, Grunchhofer should belong to the Holy Roman Empire, including Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, etc. 'Greater Germany', and the territory involves northern Italy, France, Switzerland, etc., etc. It sounds majestic, but it's actually a 'loose organization', not on par with the mighty Roman Empire. The rulers at that time were the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy, and later the Habsburg Lorraine Monarchy.

The Habs were the most prominent and most extensive royal family in European history, and later split into two branches, Austria and Spain, the former being the Austrian Habsburg dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire. A famous person of the Habs family that we are familiar with, that is, the beheading queen of France, that is, the queen who was guillotined because of Briocio.

However, the Austrian royal family has always had an inexplicable fanaticism for desserts, even ordinary poor snacks, once favored by the royal family, will double in value and become a famous spot loved by the whole people, so whether it is Brioche or Golcoo Hofer, it is a very good dessert for the poor or the rich.

Soak the raisins in rum for at least 2 hours and set aside.

Cut the butter into cubes and soften at room temperature. Stir the eggs and set aside, mix the smoothed softened butter with sugar and salt. Then pour the egg mixture into it several times, stirring as well as possible each time. Add the finished yeast and all the flour to the butter and egg mixture, and knead it thoroughly into a smooth, non-sticky dough, which requires a lot of patience.

The yeast is made with 150 grams of pure milk, 150 grams of high-gluten flour, and 9 grams of high-activity dry yeast, so that the bread baked is moderately soft and hard, and it is not too dry.

The next step is to add the soaked raisins to the dough, which Battisian is ready to use, quite intimate.

What made Sikong Yao even more unexpected was that after kneading the raisin dough, Batisian actually took out a piece of bread dough that had already been fermented from the refrigerator.

"Well, this is the bread dough that has been fermented after two hours of refrigeration."

Take out the refrigerated dough and take out the exhaust, relax for another half an hour, coat the mold with melted butter to stick the almond slices, and then sprinkle the almond slices evenly inside.

Next, flatten the dough, dig a hole in the middle, then stuff it into the mold, arrange it a little to make it evenly shaped, you can start to preheat the oven, bake at 190 degrees for about 30 minutes, and sprinkle powdered sugar after demolding to complete the decoration.

The specially baked mold looks a bit like a lava cake with a hollowed out middle, but the lace is diagonal, and the way to eat it is to cut it one by one along the lines and eat it with strawberry jam.

"It's a very simple dessert, but it's quite intriguing, so let's try it." Batisan cut a small piece and handed it to Sikong Yao.

Unlike the burnt exterior, the interior of the Cuckoohof is quite bright and clean, because of the addition of pure milk, and the texture of the baked bread is quite solid, and a small slice of bread can be savored for a long time.

And the more you eat, the more you can feel a sweet smell coming out, followed by a faint aroma of rum, which immediately becomes rich, as if you are really tasting a fine sake, which is very bright.

Sikong Yao understood at this time, if this thing was eaten together with roast turkey at Christmas, it was absolutely impeccable, no wonder Batisian would choose to teach her this dessert, it was indeed quite good. (To be continued.) )
