Drinks / Easy Plum Liquor
« on: September 03, 2010, 12:39:17 am »
Hello


Here It is PLUMTIME - and I loooove Plums in every way :D :D
I found a great Plumliquer recipe in the German Forum ( http://www.wunderkessel.de/forum/kalt-alkohol/62166-schneller-zwetschgenlikoer.html )and I made It now 4 times :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
My husband says it's for ladies ...... hehehe   - yummiiiiiii
Besides being easy to do has the distinction of being consumed as soon as it cooles! 8) 8)
Of course if you wait a few days it becomes always better!
Here goes!

Recipe Name:

EASY PLUM LIQUOR



400 grams Water
800 grams of Plum already ginned
300 grams of schnapps (white brandy)
100 grams Sugar (I use brown)

Preparation:
Place the water in the Thermomix and basket inside with Plums
Programs 30 minutes / Varoma / Speed 1



Now remove the basket of plums (reserving them and use later to crumble, pie or jam!)
Add the sugar and Schnapps to the existing liquid and Schedule 7 minutes / 90 ° / Speed 2


That's it - now it's just bottle and cool!

As you see it is very difficult to do ;)

Hope you enjoy it too  -  hiks!

Yes we are really very lucky here!
In the moment we have beautiful temperatures with great blue sky.
The only problems are so many fires in our florests - it is a shame.....

I live at a beautiful Bay called S. Martinho do Porto in Portugal Center


But we love to pass some days in South Portugal - Algarve - where I took the other Photo.
The beach is Called "Balharucas" it is great for the children to swim in securety.

Regards and sunshine to everyone

Hello  :)

For anyone who don´t like to make or eat caloric recipes this is one should not be done!!!
Okay….  Make it just once to try  :D :D :D

Here goes:

ISI´S CROISSANTES







150 grams of cold butter into the Thermomix Speed  5 until it has formed a Creamy mixture
Put aside
WITHOUT  WASHING THE Thermomix
put:
200 grams of milk
3 tablespoons Sugar
1 Pinch of Salt (I work with unsalted butter!)
20 g Fresh Baker Yeast............ 3 Minutes - 37º -  level 3
put:
350 grams flour 55 ........... 3 Minutes - level  ::

Remove the dough from the Thermomix  and divide in 7 Equal parts
Form balls and now strech the dough as thin as you can, dusting with flour  forming a circle
When the seven circles have been formed (should have more or less all the same diameter) start by greasing the first with a spatula with the reserved butter   -  overlap the next circle - greasing with butter and so forth until the last round!
(The dough is at the end a  little wavy because of the butter - thats normal)

Now just divide the circle into eight (or more) equal parts and roll each triangle from wide to the spout!
Brush the croissant with milk and let them rest for 20 minuts.
Bake in preheated oven at 180 º for about 20 minutes (note that all ovens are different!)
When finished cooking brush them again with milk!
They are very quick to make and I guarantee that they are delicious!







Hope you enjoy this

Hello  :)


I love plums in every way and dont resist a slice of cake containing this fruit!
This recipe is particularly good because you can freeze it very well - take the opportunity and make the double recipe and make  2 trays - Just cut it into slices -wrap in greaseproof paper and put in  those  ZIP bags .... mhhhhh - when thawed seems just like fresh done - nothing better than  eat a slice Plum Cake Out of Season!

PLUM TRAY CAKE



125 ml milk
45 grams Sugar
45 grams of margarine
1 teaspoon Oil
A pinch of salt
10 grams fresh yeast baker
340 grams of flour
1 Egg
1.5 kg plum that large lump
Sugar / Cinnamon / Sliced Almonds for taste



Milk / Sugar / Margarine / Oil / Salt / Yeast - all ingredients 2.5 minutes. / 37 ° C/ Level 2
add the flour and Egg - 3.5 minutes / Level ::
(If the dough is too sticky add a litle  more flour)

Leave rest  about 45 minutes (until double in volume)
Meanwhile wash and cut the plums.

Form a thick roll and place on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper.
Roll out the dough on the whole board

Now place the plums on the dough with the bark side down.
Sprinkle to taste with sugar, cinnamon and almond!

Bake in  pre-heated oven 180 º for 40-45 minutes (note that all ovens are different)















(Sometimes instead of the indicated  mixture I put  crumbles on top!!!  It is divine.... mhhhhh)

Thanks for all the comments!

I was away for 4 days in the south of Portugal with my kids - so just now I had a chance to coment!! ;)



This cake is really wonderful-never really got to freeze and have no idea if it really is appropriate because of fresh cream.
One feature is fantastic when you're cooking exudes a wonderful aroma throughout the house!

Hello

This recipe for coconut cake is deliciouse and  has the distinction of being Super easy and fast to make!
It is made with measurements of cups  - I use teacups of 200 ml!
Here at home everyone love this one - I avoid doing when my mother comes because she is not able to control and eat, eat, eat, eat ......  :D
Here goes!

Recipe Name:
Fluffy Coconut / Cream Cake


Ingredients:
3 cups Flour
2 cups Sugar
1 and 1 / 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
3 eggs
2 cups of Buttermilk

Coverage:
1 cup sugar
1 packet of grated coconut (I use 125- 150 grams)
2 packages of cream (400ml)

Preparation:
Sugar and Eggs - 2 minutes / 4 Speed
add Buttermilk - 30 sec / 4 speed
add the flour previously mixed and sifted with baking powder and schedule 20 Second / speed  ::.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread with butter and sprinkle with flour.
Pour the batter into the tray.
Now:
Mix the sugar with the coconut and distribute evenly over the dough (do not mix the dough just overlap!)

Lead to bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes 170-180 °

Remove from oven and distribute the cream on the cake so that it all take a little.
Allow to cool and. ............. mhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - taste!











For Coconut lovers a MUST DO!!
Hope you like it ;)

rubyslippers - It smelt like sweet coconut goodness while it was cooking.  I ate some warm and it was tasty.  Tried some today cold from the fridge (thinking it couldn't taste better than last night) and it was delicious. I made it into 20 slices and there is no way I could eat more than two slices at a time so some has gone into the freezer.
For those lazier/distracted cooks (my baby decided to start screaming at my feet while I was preparing this) - I did not sift flour or butter & flour the baking paper and it still turned out great.  I also only used 300 ml cream and 125 g coconut.
This could be nice with a drizzle of liquor (coconut or other) on top - or maybe it's just been too long between drinks for me.
Thanks isi!
