Strawberry And Wine Tarts

🌾🌻It’s Lammas! The first harvest! 🌻🌾

One of the nice things you can do to celebrate, is to bake bread or buns~! Since I’m going to grill with my friends today, i thought i’d make buns, because i’m going to be preparing burgers.

You will need:

for the dough:

320 g of wheat flour

120 ml of hot milk

one big egg

40 g of softened or melted butter

15 g of fresh yeast or 5 g of dry yeast

a teaspoon of sugar

a big pinch of salt

to lightly brush them before baking:

egg mixed with milk

Steps:

First of all get a big bowl and put all your dry stuff in it. (Except yeast if you’re using dry one) 

add an egg and butter

while you’re mixing it, put the milk in the microwave and measure out the yeast you need.

when the milk is still hot but not too hot (be careful, you can kill the yeast with too warm milk) mix it with yeast.

When milk and yeast becomes smooth liquid, add it to the dough 

And now you can use a mixer to knead the dough or just your hands. 

When you have finished dough, cover it with something and leave to rise for 60 minutes. 

After the 60 minutes, weigh the dough and make how many buns you’d like, put them on the baking sheet, and again

Leave them to rise for 30 to 40 minutes, they need to be covered!

Brush them lightly with the milk and egg mixture

Bake them! Heat your oven to 350F or 180C and bake them until they’re golden.

You can get creative with the toppings, you can make some more dough and make sun or flowers on top of them, to represent the harvest and the time of the year or as to represent a deity, you can add herbs of your choice on top, for example dried rosemary to bring happiness and protection, basil for confidence etc. 

But most importantly, Have fun and enjoy the sabbath! 💞

“You can’t feel my heart” I said

“I don’t need to” you replied

“Not even I can get through the wall” I said

“Then let’s sit here and wait” you replied

And so we sat against the wall, waiting

And slowly, the wall started to crumble

Strawberry Trifle

Ingredients:

Vanilla Pudding (store bought or homemade, recipe below)

Castella Cake (homemade or store bought, recipe below)

Strawberries

Whipped Cream (300 ml heavy cream, 40 g white granulated sugar)

Instructions

1. Create a layer of castella, then fill the sides with half cut strawberries. Then dice some strawberries, enough to create a whole new layer.

2. Top with the pudding, then add another layer of castella. You can add strawberries again but I didn’t.

3. Add your whipped cream and top with whole strawberries. Serve and enjoy!

Homemade Vanilla Pudding

2 ½ cups half and half

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup lightly packed light brown sugar

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract 

2 ½ tablespoons corn starch (I used 7 tsp of arrowroot flour)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of half and half to a simmer (do not boil). Add both sugars and vanilla. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring constantly to prevent scalding. Stir in the butter until melted. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining half and half with the cornstarch. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the half and half whisking constantly. Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap being sure the plastic wrap is touching the top of the pudding. (This will prevent a skin from forming.) Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

Homemade Castella

6 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell) (at room temperature - very important!)

200 g sugar (1 cup)

200 g bread flour (1 ½ cup + 2 ½ Tbsp) (See Notes)

80 ml honey (⅓ cup; 5 Tbsp)

2 ½ Tbsp water (warm)

Honey Mixture for Brushing Castella

1 Tbsp honey

½ Tbsp water (warm)

INSTRUCTIONS

Gather all the ingredients.

Cut parchment paper to fit the baking pans (See the video for this process). https://youtu.be/a2vaM_aRHv4

Preheat oven to 320 ºF (160 ºC). (I always do this before I bake the dessert)

Sift the bread flour with the sifter or a fine-meshed strainer twice. Holding the handle with one hand and tapping the strainer gently with the other, the flour will gradually sift through the strainer.

Add 2 ½ Tbsp warm water to honey and whisk well.

Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment. Crack eggs into the bowl and vigorously whisk until combined.

Add the sugar

Beat the eggs and sugar on high speed (Speed 10) for 5 minutes.  The volume of the beaten eggs will increase about 4 times. The texture will be thick and the color will be pale yellow. When you stop the mixer and lift the whisk attachment, the mixture should fall in ribbons.

Add the honey mixture into the egg mixture and whisk on low speed (Speed 2) until combined, about 30 seconds.

Add the bread flour at three separate times: add 1/3 of the bread flour and whisk on low speed (Speed 2) for 15 seconds, then add more flour and whisk for 15 seconds. Add the last remaining portion and whisk until just combined for about 1 minute. Do not overmix.

Spray the loaf pans with oil and spread out evenly with pastry brush.

Put the parchment paper in the pans and make sure the paper sticks to the pans. If not, add oil and spread out evenly with a brush.

Pour the batter into the pans (about 80% full).

Using a skewer, draw a zigzag line to remove the air bubbles in the batter.

Level batter in each pan by holding pan 2-inches above counter dropping it flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles.

Bake at 320 ºF (160 ºC) in the middle rack of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Mix 1 Tbsp honey and ½ Tbsp warm water in a bowl and apply the honey mixture on top of the cake with a pastry brush.

Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter top. Take out the cake from the pan to the plastic wrap, top facing down. Gently peel off parchment paper.

Immediately wrap the cake with plastic wrap to keep the moisture and while it’s hot store in the refrigerator overnight (at least 12 hours), keeping the top side facing down. This will help the cake have more fine and moist texture.

To serve, slice off the sides of the cake with a sharp bread knife and cut into ¾ to 1 inch thick slices (you get 7-8 slices total). It’s better if you bring the cake to room temperature before serving.

Rereading SOC and thinking about Erin.

Erin in the corner of that tight alley surrounded by gang members and unable to escape, being forced to use the *Cut*.

Triggering her panic attack and Kaz finding her hyperventilating in the corner, unable to move.
