Cu ajutorul unui poş de cofetărie, se fac fursecurile ce se aşează pe o tavă tapetată cu hârtie de copt.
Se introduce tavă la cuptorul preîncălzit la foc mediu şi se lasă 10 minute până se rumenesc uşor.

Între timp se pregăteşte crema din frişcă şi ciocolată, punându-le pe ambele într-o crăticioară pe foc mic şi lăsându-le până când ciocolata începe să se topească. Se amestecă bine pentru a se omogeniza, se adaugă şi esenţă de rom, apoi se lasă să se răcească.
După ce fursecurile şi crema se răcesc, se pune câte puţin cremă în mijlocul unui fursec şi astfel se lipesc fursecurile câte două.
Ciocolata pentru glazură se topeşte la bain-marie şi cu ea se ornează paleurile, după cum vă place.

1/2 Cup (90g) Matchstick almonds, toasted

 

 

Method For The "Cakes":
1. Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F), then grease two 3x6 inches rectangular cake tins and
line the bases with baking paper.
2. Mix together the sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale, light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well between each addition and a tablespoon of the flour with the last egg to prevent the mixture from curdling and separating. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Incorporate the flour mixture by gently folding it in the egg mixture and add enough milk to obtain a batter that falls reluctantly from the spoon.
6. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tins, level the top and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre of each cake comes out clean.
7. Let cool in the pan for ten minutes before turning out on to a wire rack and leaving to cool completely.
Method For The "Pastry Cream":
1. Put the milk and salt in a pan, bring to a light boil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth, fluffy and light in color.
3. While constantly whisking, slowly pour the milk into the egg mixture.
4. Return the whole to the saucepan.
5. Over medium heat and while whisking non-stop, cook until you get a thick consistency (just bring to a slight boil).
6. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Let cool for 10 minutes and then incorporate the butter, a little at a time, until the pastry cream is smooth and shiny .
7. Cover the surface with clingplastic, directly touching the cream. Let cool completely before placing in the refrigerator.

Italian Cream Puffs with Custard Filling - from Joanne

Italian Cream Puffs with Custard Filling (St. Joseph’s Day Pastries)

 

These Italian cream puffs with a rich custard filling are a classic Italian dessert. They are traditionally eaten on St. Joseph's Day, but I say indulge in them year-round!

Yield: 12 large or 24 small pastries

Ingredients

For the pastry

• 2¾ cups unbleached AP flour
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 cups water
• 9½ tbsp butter
• 6 large eggs

For the custard

• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• 3 cups whole milk
• 4 egg yolks
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp rum

Instructions

For the pastry

1. Preheat oven to 425. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together and set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, heat the water. Add the butter. When melted, remove the pan from the stove and add the flour mixture all at once. Beat with a wooden spoon, then return the pan to medium-high heat, beating the mixture until it comes away from the sides of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and add the eggs one at a time, beating with a wooden spoon or hand mixer in-between additions to mix well.
3. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a ½-inch tip with the cream puff batter. Squeeze out 3-inch puffs, about ½ inch apart on a cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. When done, carefully slit the side of each cream puff with a knife to allow steam to escape and to prevent the puffs from becoming soggy inside. Transfer to cooling racks and let cool.

For the custard

1. In saucepan over moderate heat, combine sugar, flour and salt. Add milk gradually, cooking and stirring until mixture is thick and bubbly.
2. Lower heat, stirring for 2 minutes and remove from heat. In a small bowl, add cream mixture to eggs slowly. Return mixture back to pan. Bring to gently boil for 2 more minutes, adding butter, rum, and vanilla. Tranfer to a shallow bowl to cool, placing plastic wrap on the top of the custard to prevent a skin forming. Refrigerate.
3. Once custard has cooled completely, pipe into opened pastry shells until they are so full they might pop, top with a cherry, and dust with powdered sugar.

What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine: Half Moons ( Black and White Cookies) Revised Pictures with VIDEO

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup shortening

2 eggs

3 1/2 cups flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon pure vanilla

1 cup milk
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees using the middle rack. Grease a cookie sheet or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Mix SUGAR AND SHORTENING BEAT UNTIL they are well combined will look grainy using an electric mixer. ADD the eggs beating through each one. Then add the flour alternating with milk, add vanilla, then add all the rest of the dry ingredients in a bowl  mixed well.

Drop by heaping well rounded tablespoons on a greased cookie sheet, (make sure these are molded to be round.) Use a floured finger if you have too.

Bake on 350 degrees hot oven at least 3 inches apart so they don't touch when they expand cooking. Bake until slightly browned on the bottom but not too dark. This is the flat side you will frost.

Cool. Frost half with white frosting and half chocolate frosting or all dark chocolate for full moons on the flat side of this cookie.

You can use canned or make from scratch below. I highly recommend homemade.

2 cups confectionery sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla

add milk a tablespoon at a time until desired thickness enough to spread on cookie.

add 1 tablespoon shortening to keep it white and a little softer for spreading. This is for the vanilla side

For the chocolate frosting:

Repeat above ingredients for chocolate, but add 2 tablespoons of dry cocoa powder or a little more for darker chocolate and mix until smooth and spreadable.

Second variation:

Whipped Frosting:
(several bakeries made a fluffy whipped frosting like this one instead)

2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
Cook, stirring constantly, until pasty consistency. Cool. (Do not use this mixture until it is really cold).

In a medium size bowl beat the following two ingredients together
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Beat 4 minutes.

Add
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat 4 minutes.

Add
Cooled flour mixture
Beat 4 minutes.

The more you beat, the better it is! Double the recipe for large 3 layer cake. Do not use with chocolate powder or make this flavored with chocolate.

Musaca de piure cu carne tocata

Ingrediente
pentru 12 portii = o tava ( yena ) de 40 x 25 cm

Umplutura:    600-700 g carne tocata  ( porc , vita sau amestec )  
   2 cepe mari  
   sare, piper, 
   1/2 lingurita cimbru 
   3 linguri pasta de tomate sau 4 de bulion sau 5 de suc de rosii  
   optional, 1 lingurita rasa de boia dulce sau iute, dupa gust 
   optional, un dovlecel mic  
   1 ou
Piure:
   2 kg cartofi
   100 g unt pentru piure
   100 ml lapte

    putin ulei sau unt si pesmet pentru uns tava
    3 linguri de ulei si 1 lingura pasta de tomate pentru decor

Mod de preparare
   Se caleste , ceapa tocata la foc foarte mic, pana incepe sa devina translucida . Se adauga carnea si dovlecelul dat prin razatoarea mica si se mai caleste la foc mic timp de 15 minute.  Se adauga sare si piper dupa gust, cimbrul, 3 linguri pasta de tomate, boia si se opreste focul. Se lasa sa se raceasca pana cand putem tine mana in amestec fara sa ne friga. Se adauga oul si se amesteca din nou.
   Cartofii se curata,se spala, se taie ca pentru tocana si se pun la fiert in apa rece cu sare. Cand incepe apa sa clocoteasca se ia spuma si se mai lasa la fiert la foc mic- mediu inca aproximativ 30 minute. Dupa ce cartofii sunt fierti ( se rup cand sunt intepati cu furculita), se scurg de apa, dar apa scursa se pastreaza. Se paseaza, se amesteca cu unt si lapte, se adauga sare dupa gust si se mai subtiaza cu zeama in care au fiert cartofii pana la obtinerea unui piure putin mai moale decat in mod obisnuit.
   Se porneste cuptorul la 180 grade sau treapta 4 .
   Se unge tava cu putin ulei sau unt si se tapeteaza cu pesmet.
   Se aseaza un strat de piure care sa fie aproximativ jumatate din cantitatea totala de piure. Se niveleaza. Se adauga amestecul de carne si se niveleaza. Se adauga restul de piure si se niveleaza si acesta. Cele 3 linguri de ulei se pun la incalzit intr-o tigaita. Cand se incinge uleiul se adauga 1 lingura de bulion si se opreste focul. Amestecul obtinut se intainde ca ultim strat peste musaca.
   Daca in tava au ramas pe inaltime mai putin de 2 cm ( 2 degete) pana la margine, exista riscul sa dea in foc. Pentru siguranta se pune pe o treapta inferioara a cuptorului o tava goala si tava cu musaca se pune deasupra pe gratar.
   Se da la foc foarte mic pentru 20 minute si  apoi se se mai tine 15 minute la 180 grade.
   Este gata cand este rumenita frumos.
   Se lasa la racit cel putin 30 minute.
