Cakes / Nutella and Ricotta tart with photos
« on: November 27, 2011, 08:29:31 pm »
440 g nutella
250 g ricotta
1tablespoon of sugar
40 g unsalted butter (soft)

1 pre baked short bread pastry case

Blend all ingredients until smooth
Pour into a pre baked short bread pastry case and bake for 35 mins (still in the tin)



My tin was 18cm by 4cm loose bottom
About ˝ cup of mixture did remain, so you could use a lager tin
The short bread pastry was given to me by my DS he was too busy and his kitchen was too hot to work with the pastry. I think the recipe for the pastry is from, Stephanie Alexander's The Cook's Companion

The cream cheese pastry would be very nice with this filling

I have made this pastry using GF flour
I pre baked my pastry case and froze them all.

Serve cold. 5 days later still yum!

Cakes / Almond meal biscuits with photos
« on: November 26, 2011, 02:39:08 am »
Name of Recipe:Almond meal biscuits
Number of People:
Ingredients:
•   500g almond meal
•   6 egg whites, (frozen ok)
•   1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
•   300g white sugar
•   1tble of homemade vanilla essence+ 1 teaspoons OR 1 tablespoons of whisky and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
•   1 tsp almond essence

•   TM Icing sugar, to coat biscuits (made from white sugar)
•   Glazed cherries or whole almonds


Preparation:

Add egg whites and  the cream of tartar to bowl and beat until stiff with the butterfly, for me  it took 8 min on speed 3 ˝  will (try speed 3 next time )
Add all ingredients except icing sugar and cherries together in a bowl
Add egg whites to other ingredients mix with your hands until all combined. Rest for 1/2 an hour, not you the dough lol

Preheat oven to 180oC. Make small balls of about 3cm by rolling them between your palms and then lightly roll them in the TM icing sugar.
Place on trays lined with baking paper.
Gently press cherries or almonds into the top of the biscuits.
Cook until biscuits become lightly browned on top - about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Tips/Hints:The biscuits can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to one month. I freeze mine, they do freeze very well and only take about 15 min to defrost.

If you are making these biscuits for your xmas hampers cook them a little longer.
What I do is bake for 10 mins or so then remove them from the tray and place them just on the racks in the oven - they will dry out better and will keep longer. Leave the oven on, it depends on how you like them and how you are going to store them. I left them in a further 15 mins.

JD -  Could have quite easily halved this recipe, it made over 100 biscuits.  I made the first couple of trays a bit bigger than the last lot but they are all good.

Uni - Judy how small did you make them, I only got 29!

JD - Uni, I followed your directions as under:-
"Make small balls of about 3cm by rolling them between your palms, and then lightly roll them in the TM  icing sugar. "
That's a pretty small ball - the second lot were that size, the first lot were probably a 4 cm ball.  The smaller ones are the size of a 50 cent piece, the other size just a bit bigger.  Bite sized and delicious - crunchy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside.  I cooked them for an extra 10 minutes when I popped them back into the oven on a wire rack.

Uni - I saw this recipe on the net, taste.com 

Ingredients
•   180g almond meal
•   3/4 cup caster sugar
•   1/3 cup plain flour
•   2 egg whites NOT WHIPPED 
•   1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 170°C.
Mix together all of the ingredients until fully combined.
Shape single tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Gently press each ball to flatten. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool completely before serving.
 
I did the roll, cut and press method and with load of icing sugar.

 2 egg whites
1˝ cups sugar  i used 1/14 cups
˝ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cornflour
1 teaspoon vinegar
4 tablespoons boiling water
Method
   Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix on high speed for 15 minutes. i did 15 mins with the butterfly in
   Prepare Pavlova tray with foil and non-stick baking paper.
   Spread mixture onto prepared tray in a 20 cm diameter circle.
   Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes.
   Reduce heat to 150°C, then bake for a further 45 minutes.
   Top or fill with cream and fruit such as strawberries and passionfruit

Well, you can see it didn’t work for me  in the TM . i did mix it a further 5 mins , with an old hand held mixer  i had to stop i could see smoke coming out of it. :o

Just had a piece its very yummy   and i will be making it again when i get a hands free mixer

Add flour and coconut, knead for 30 seconds to 1 min.

Add choc bits, crushed nuts and mix for 1 min on reverse + speed soft. (I do this by hand in a other bowl )

Roll mixture into a ball and dip into a bowl with crushed nuts, flatten while dipping into nuts and place 5 cm apart on trays. Bake for 15 – 20 min minutes, mine took 35 mins.

Leave on tray for about 5 mins before transferring to cooling rack.
