Hello Internet! What a strange feeling to be at home surrounded by the deafening silence ... They are no longer used to being all alone, without my dwarf that follows me like a shadow, and that makes it so well that silently, at times, turning around, I almost tripped! James is a quiet boy, very quiet. He likes to play on the floor, sitting on the big living room carpet with my finger and I indicates an exact point where the carpet wants me to sit down to stand by him. He loves the building and, when his father built a plane with long wings, he tries and try to make one yourself, then when he's tired of the attempts, and takes a single piece with the hand imitates the flight of ' plane that lives in his imagination ...! Most of the time asking me to build one and then I try, I can never make it as I imagine it (the building pieces are always so few), but for him the result is beautiful! Mother's heart! I wonder if today, asylum, the nanny will help you make the plane of your dreams ...
You know pasticciotti Lecce? Nooo?? So you do have to make up and make a jump down to Lecce to try this wonder of candy! This is a shell of pastry with custard cream inside, with its characteristic oval shape. Recently I happened to find in bars and bakeries, also a chocolate version of pasticciotti that greedily took the color of cocoa and cream in the pastry; guess' what is the name that confectioners have Salento given to these pasticciotti? ... Obama! ... No need to explain why! :-)
few nights ago we went to dinner with friends, a simple dinner, based pizza delivery, just for the sake of seeing and talking a bit '... I did not want to arrive empty-handed so, first asking for advice as a friend on Facebook, I decided to make the cake pasticciotto. I tried the recipe on the net and I happened Blog Elisa that Salento is a girl! Perfect, reliable source! I will give you the recipe as well as she writes:
Preparing pastry
- 500 gr flour 00
- 200
- sugar 3 eggs
- 150 gr butter
- peel grated lemon
- 1 / 2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 / 2 tablespoon baking
Prepare a pastry in the traditional way, mixing all ingredients quickly and leave to rest in the refrigerator, covered with foil, for the time necessary to prepare the cream.
cream Preparation
- 1 l whole milk 3 egg yolks
- 150 grams of flour 250 gr sugar
- 1 / 2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
She begins to heat the milk and in the meantime, mix all other ingredients, taking care to avoid lumps. Then pour the hot milk and mix well (if filtering should be some lumps), and finally gets back over the heat, stirring until it thickens.
Divide the pastry into two parts and is applied with a rolling pin. It is lining a cake pan (greased and floured), pouring in the warm cream and closes with the other pastry disc, brush the top with egg white. In oven at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
Unfortunately I do not have the photo of the slice of the pie but only dusted with powdered sugar. The friends and partisans have liked the cream I assure you that was very delicate!
