The wetter the dough the lighter the scones(biscuits) will be!&lt;br /&gt;Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board, lightly flour the top of thedough. To achieve an even homogeneous crumb to your scones knead very gentlyabout 4 or 5 times the dough until it is smooth. &lt;br /&gt;Pat or roll out the dough into a 15x10 cm rectangle by about 2 cm thick. Usinga well-floured 5 cm scone cutter (biscuit cutter), stamp out without twistingsix 5 cm rounds, gently reform the scraps into another 2 cm layer and cut twomore scones (these two scones will not raise as well as the others since theextra handling will slightly toughen the dough). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Place the rounds just touching on a baking dish if you wish to havesoft-sided scones or place the rounds spaced widely apart on the baking dish ifyou wish to have crisp-sided scones. Glaze the tops with milk if you want agolden colour on your scones or lightly flour if you want a more traditionallook to your scones.&lt;br /&gt;Bake in the preheated very hot oven for about 10 minutes (check at 8 minutessince home ovens at these high temperatures are very unreliable) until thescones are well risen and are lightly coloured on the tops. The scones areready when the sides are set.

Per quanto riguarda la cucina, ma non solo, mi ritengo un’esterofila: tutto ciò che proviene da altri paesi mi affascina e mi incuriosisce, per cui amo molto provare piatti di altre nazioni. Questa esterofilia però vale anche nel più piccolo. Mi piace un sacco infatti provare anche i piatti regionali, quelli che si discostano dalla mia tradizione.&lt;br /&gt;Visto che non ho mai fatto mistero della mia predilezione per i dolci, cosa che avrete notato anche solo dando un sommario sguardo all’elenco dei miei post, ho pensato che potrei iniziare ad avvicinarmi alle cucina tradizionale italiana proprio attraverso torte e biscotti!&lt;br /&gt;Do il via quindi a questa nuova sezione del mio blog con una torta tipica. E visto che sono la regina della coerenza, dopo tutto questo preambolo sull’esterofilia vi propongo un dolce della mia regione: la torta sabbiosa. La torta sabbiosa è tipica della zona di Verona, che è la città del mio ragazzo, per cui per la ricetta ho quindi chiesto numi alla sua mamma. Fortuna ha voluto che lei avesse un ricettario con tutti i piatti tipici veronesi, tra cui appunto questa torta.&lt;br /&gt;E’ un dolce molto semplice, soffice e friabile, come suggerisce il nome. Perfetto per la colazione o una merenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TORTA SABBIOSA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;150 g di farina&lt;br /&gt;150 g di fecola di patate&lt;br /&gt;300 g di zucchero&lt;br /&gt;300 g di burro&lt;br /&gt;4 uova&lt;br /&gt;1/2 bustina di lievito&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In una terrina mescolare insieme la farina con la fecola e il lievito. Tenere da parte.&lt;br /&gt;In un’altra ciotola montare il burro con lo zucchero fino a renderlo spumoso. Aggiungere poi i tuorli a uno a uno icorporandoli bene al composto. Aggiungere infine la mistura di farina. Montare a neve i 4 albumi e poi corporarli delicatamente all’impasto.&lt;br /&gt;Versare il composto in uno stampo da 23 cm di diametro foderato di carta oleata e cuocere in forno a 150°C per circa 30 minuti, o fino a quando uno stecchino infilato nel centro del dolce esce pulito. Passati questo tempo spegnere il forno e lasciar raffreddare la torta all’interno.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-5315809582995101223?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/5315809582995101223/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2012/01/cucina-regionale-torta-sabbiosa.html#comment-form' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/5315809582995101223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/5315809582995101223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2012/01/cucina-regionale-torta-sabbiosa.html' title='Cucina regionale: torta sabbiosa'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uZqJP1s6RKk/TxwVJWZJtfI/AAAAAAAAAsM/6hMOPbHL4_s/s72-c/IMG_1178.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-1067980377748183113</id><published>2012-01-16T08:30:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T08:30:02.189+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bulgur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='melanzane'/><title type='text'>Bulgur alle melanzane e pinoli</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-agZlnjQghr8/TxFR6QTI_xI/AAAAAAAAAsE/I82mrJt7xWo/s1600/IMG_1535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-agZlnjQghr8/TxFR6QTI_xI/AAAAAAAAAsE/I82mrJt7xWo/s640/IMG_1535.JPG" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;E dopo dolci, biscotti, marmellate e quant’altro, forse èproprio il caso di passare a una ricetta un po’ più leggerina!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mi piace il bulgur, me l’ha fatto conoscere la mia padronadi casa quando stavo in Inghilterra. Lei è irachena, e una sera ci ha volutopreparare una cena mediorientale a base appunto di bulgur con verdure. Daallora mi ero ripromessa di farlo anche a casa, ma ho scoperto che è molto piùdifficile da trovare rispetto al cous-cous. Solo recentemente, durante unadelle mie solite incursioni da Castroni, sono riuscita a trovarlo e non vedevol’ora di provarlo. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Visto che era una serata solitaria in cui non avevo una granvoglia di lanciarmi in complicate preparazioni, ho puntato su un semplice bulgur allemelanzane. Come tocco finale, i pinoli tostati, che danno quel croccantino che ame piace tanto. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;La semplicità vince sempre no? Questa ricetta ne è la prova!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;BULGUR ALLE MELANZANE E PINOLI (per 1)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;80 g di bulgur&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/2 melanzana &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;30 g di di pinoli tostati&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Prezzemolo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Olio extravergine di oliva&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Cuocere il bulgur in abbondante acqua bollente per circa 7-8minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nel frattempo tagliare a dadini la melanzana e cuocerla inpadella con un filo d’olio d’oliva. Aggiustare di sale. Scolare il bulgur e versarlo su una ciotola insieme allemelanzane, il prezzemolo tritato e i pinoli tostati.

Saranno stati igiorni carichi di impegni o il clima festoso che mi ha portato a preferire unabella tazza di te sul divano davanti alla tv oppure un buon libro sotto lecoperte piuttosto che scrivere sul mio blog! Non volevo però far passare ilNatale senza augurarvi buone feste, spero che possiate trascorrere questigiorni speciali con le persone che amate...magari sgranocchiando in lorocompagnia questi biscotti alle arachidi, vestite di lustrini per l'occasione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E qui va un particolare ringraziamento al mio boy che, di ritorno da SanFrancisco, si è riempito mezza valigia con la lunga lista di sprinkles ecavolatine varie che gli avevo chiesto di prendermi (ne vedrete vari esempi neiprossimi post!). Quanta pazienza!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COOKIES ALLE ARACHIDI (dal libro "Martha Stewart's Cookies") (percirca 30 biscotti)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;160 g di farina&lt;br /&gt;3/4 di cucchiaino di bicarbonato&lt;br /&gt;260 g di burro&lt;br /&gt;100 g di zucchero&lt;br /&gt;100 g di zucchero di canna&lt;br /&gt;1 uovo&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia&lt;br /&gt;240 g di burro di arachidi&lt;br /&gt;50 g di arachidi salate&lt;br /&gt;zuccherini per la decorazione &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In una ciotola mescolare insieme la farina con il bicarbonato. Tenere daparte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sbattere con le fruste elettriche il burro ammorbidito con entrambi glizuccheri finchè non sarà spumoso. Aggiungere quindi l'uovo e l' estratto divaniglia e mescolare bene. Versare il burro di arachidi e mescolare ancora.Aggiungere poi la mistura di farina ed infine le arachidi salate. Con l'aiutodi due cucchiai creare dei piccoli mucchietti di impasto e disporli, bendistanziati fra loro, su una teglia foderata di carta oleata. Cospargere congli zuccherini e mettere in forno a 160°C per circa 25 minuti, o fino a quandoi bordi dei biscotti &amp;nbsp;non saranno dorati.Togliere dal forno e lasciar raffreddare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quest'anno per i regali di Natale mi sono presa con largo anticipo...dei bei vasetti di marmellata fatta in estate/autunno.

Dopoessermi iscritta però sono entrata nell’ansia…le possibili ricette per i biscotti dafare erano infinte, quale scegliere??&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Alla fine ho optato per dei biscottini che potessero evocareil Natale che ormai è alle porte, scegliendo degli aromi che per me significanosubito festa: arancia e cioccolato!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Non restava quindi che trovare una buona ricetta e MarthaStewart mi è venuta in soccorso, con i suoi Orange Sable cookies, e percompletare l’opera, niente di meglio che una golosa copertura di cioccolatofondente! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ORANGE COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;125 g di mandorle spellate&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;125 g di zucchero a velo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;170 g di burro&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;3 cucchiai di scorza di arancia grattugiata (circa 2-3arance)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 uovo grande&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaio di succo di arancia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;200 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;200 g di cioccolato fondente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;lamelle e granella di mandorla per la decorazione&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In un mixer frullare insieme le mandorle con lo zucchero avelo fino ad ottenere una farina piuttosto fine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;In una ciotola capiente sbattere per qualche minuto con lefruste elettriche il burro insieme alle bucce di arancia fino ad ottenere uncomposto spumoso. Aggiungere quindi le mandorle e lo zucchero e mescolare. Versarepoi l’uovo e il succo di arancia e amalgamare. Infine aggiungere la farina emescolare bene. Avvolgere l’impasto con una pellicola e mettere in frigo percirca un’ora. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Togliere l’impasto dal frigo e, con le mani, creare dellepiccole palline della dimensione di una noce. Appiattire un po’ e poi disporrei dischi in una teglia foderata di carta oleata. Procedere così fino alla finedell’impasto. Mettere poi in forno a 160°C per circa 15 minuti, o finchè ibordi dei biscotti non saranno leggermente dorati. Togliere dal forno e lasciarraffreddare completamente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nel frattempo far sciogliere a bagnomaria il cioccolato. Unvolta fuso immergere i biscotti per metà nel cioccolato e farli asciugare su unfoglio di carta forno. Prima che il cioccolato si solidifichi cospargervi sopraun po’ di lamelle o della granella di mandorla. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Devo dire che regalare biscotti è bellissimo, ma riceverlilo è ancora di più!

Sobene che non è una nostra festività, però a me la notte di Halloween ha sempreaffascinato, più per il sua antica origine celtica che come festa americana.All’inizio celebravo questa ricorrenza limitandomi solo a intagliare la famosaJack O’ Lantern. In seguito ho cominciato a fare anche qualche biscotto perl’occasione, attingendo però dalle ricette della nostra tradizione, come leossa dei morti. Poi, mano a mano che passavano gli anni, mi sono fatta prenderedall’entusiasmo…ogni occasione è buona per comprare qualche stampino carino perbiscotti e muffins, no!?! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Così noi alla fine ci siamo goduti la serata intagliando lafamosa zucca per tenere lontani gli spiriti e mangiandoci questi &lt;a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/baklava-muffins-22080"&gt;Baklava muffins&lt;/a&gt; di Nigella, che per l’occasione si sono travestiti da zucca e si sono vestitidi glassa blu, in perfetto stile Halloweeniano! Noi ci divertiamo con poco!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Con questa ricetta partecipo alla nona Forever NigellaChallenge, “&lt;a href="http://blog.maisoncupcake.com/forever-nigella-halloween-horrors/"&gt;Halloween Horros&lt;/a&gt;”, ospitata questo mese da Maison Cupcake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1eS7FZgmrzA/TrAUau0u2HI/AAAAAAAAAoo/Sy3aDcsqVzw/s1600/ForeverNigella_Banner_09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1eS7FZgmrzA/TrAUau0u2HI/AAAAAAAAAoo/Sy3aDcsqVzw/s200/ForeverNigella_Banner_09.jpg" width="164" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="color: magenta;"&gt;NIGELLA'S BAKLAVA MUFFINS FOR HALLOWEEN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;How did youspend the Halloween night?

And thiswould be a great pity, as this cake is delicious, with a great amount of driedfruit, as I like! The Povitica is a cake of the East Europe and is similar toGubana, a typical cake of the north-eastern Italy. It can be accomplished byfew drops of grappa or sligovitz (a prune brandy).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The Daring Baker’s October 2011challenge was Povitica, hosted by Jenni of &lt;a href="http://thegingeredwhisk.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Gingered Whisk&lt;/a&gt;.

Allow to stand at roomtemperature until ready to be spread on the dough. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;15. If the mixturethickens, add a small amount of warm milk. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;To Roll and Assemble theDough:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;16. Spread a clean sheet or clothover your entire table so that it is covered. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;17. Sprinkle with a couple oftablespoons to a handful of flour (use flour sparingly) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;18. Place the dough onthe sheet and roll the dough out with a rolling pin, starting in the middle andworking your way out, until it measures roughly 10-12 inches (25½ cm by 30½ cm)in diameter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;19. Spoon 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (5ml to7 ½ ml/4 gm to 7 gm) of melted butter on top. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;20. Using the tops of your hands,stretch dough out from the center until the dough is thin and uniformly opaque.You can also use your rolling pin, if you prefer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;21. As you work, continually pick upthe dough from the table, not only to help in stretching it out, but also tomake sure that it isn’t sticking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;22. When you think it thedough is thin enough, try to get it a little thinner. It should be so thin thatyou can see the color and perhaps the pattern of the sheet underneath. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;23. Spoon filling (seebelow for recipe) evenly over dough until covered. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;24. Lift the edge of thecloth and gently roll the dough like a jelly roll. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;25. Once the dough isrolled up into a rope, gently lift it up and place it into a greased loaf panin the shape of a “U”, with the ends meeting in the middle. You want to coilthe dough around itself, as this will give the dough its characteristic lookwhen sliced. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;26. Repeat with remaining three loaves, coiling eachrope of dough in its own loaf pan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;27. Brush the top of each loaf with a mixture of ½ cup(120 ml) of cold STRONG coffee and 2 tablespoons (30ml/28 gm/1 oz) of sugar. Ifyou prefer, you can also use egg whites in place of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;28. Cover pans lightly will plastic wrap and allow torest for approximately 15 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;29. Preheat oven to moderate 350°F/180°C/gas mark 4. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;30. Remove plastic wrap from dough and place into thepreheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;31. Turn down the oventemperature to slow 300°F/150°C/gas mark 2 and bake for an additional 45minutes, or until done. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.35pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;32. Remove bread from oven and brushwith melted butter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.35pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;33. Check the bread every 30 minutesto ensure that the bread is not getting too brown. You may cover the loaveswith a sheet of aluminum foil if you need to. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.35pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;34. Remove from the oven and allow tocool on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;35. It is recommendedthat the best way to cut Povitica loaves into slices is by turning the loafupside down and slicing with a serrated knife. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-9045879920414664135?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/9045879920414664135/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/10/daring-bakers-challenge-ottobre-2011.html#comment-form' title='6 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/9045879920414664135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/9045879920414664135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/10/daring-bakers-challenge-ottobre-2011.html' title='Daring Bakers&apos; Challenge Ottobre 2011: Povitica'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--DXm48WOz14/TqVzZ-ilwlI/AAAAAAAAAoA/eHszGZcVNWo/s72-c/IMG_0658_rid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-1678703233642153746</id><published>2011-10-17T08:30:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T19:02:54.672+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crumble'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='butterscotch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pere'/><title type='text'>Crumble di pere e butterscotch chips</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pTvK5hzYItQ/TpsDRRuSqsI/AAAAAAAAAn4/WB8M6srlFO0/s1600/IMG_0609_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pTvK5hzYItQ/TpsDRRuSqsI/AAAAAAAAAn4/WB8M6srlFO0/s640/IMG_0609_rid.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Di solito mi piace viaggiare per lavoro, perché, anche sesolo alla sera, ti permette di visitare posti nuovi e città che magari nonavresti mai avuto occasione di vedere. Quindi per me passare una settimana intrasferta non mi è mai pesato, anzi, ogni volta mi dispiace un po’ dovertornare, perché avrei tanto voluto avere più tempo per vedere quel museo, oquell’orto botanico, oppure per andare a mangiare in quel ristorante di cui hosentito parlare tanto bene.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ecco, in realtà devo dire che questo è stato QUASI semprevero. Solo una volta mi è capitato di sentirmi in gabbia, di non vedere l’oradi tornare a casa…e questo è successo quando sono stata in Texas, in una cittàamena vicino a Houston… zero storia, zero musei, zero bellezze naturali, nientedi niente, solo hotel, centri commerciali e ristoranti. Cosa fare allora peringannare il tempo ed arrivare all’ora di cena? Beh, ovviamente non restavaaltra scelta che andare a fare shopping, preferibilmente di cose per la cucina!Quella volta mi sono comprata l’impossibile: stampi per minicupcakes, stampi perbiscotti e&amp;nbsp; props per le foto.

Completare il tutto con un generoso filo d’olio e mettere sotto il grill per 10 minuti, o fino a quando non saranno dorati in superficie.&lt;br /&gt;Servire subito.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-175710569102751882?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/175710569102751882/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/10/funghi-al-formaggio-e-un-benvenuto.html#comment-form' title='10 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/175710569102751882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/175710569102751882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/10/funghi-al-formaggio-e-un-benvenuto.html' title='Funghi al formaggio e un benvenuto all&apos;autunno'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bul37y6Yx4M/TpXXWnASGtI/AAAAAAAAAnw/0NE96e3v5g8/s72-c/IMG_0489_rid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-7827771467668596530</id><published>2011-10-07T16:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-13T12:47:14.257+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pollo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='curry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tessa Kiros'/><title type='text'>Pollo al curry con anacardi e cocco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SmLb2tS-WA8/TodqUMAjEWI/AAAAAAAAAno/kPZzCqWk6gE/s1600/IMG_0421_rid2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SmLb2tS-WA8/TodqUMAjEWI/AAAAAAAAAno/kPZzCqWk6gE/s1600/IMG_0421_rid2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ciao ragazze, direttamente da quel di Nantes, tra unasessione a l’altra, vi lascio questa ricettina…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Dopo un paio di post all’insegna della dolcezza finalmentequalcosa di salato!

E’ così che la prossimasettimana mi ritroverò a Nantes, in Bretagna, e, anche se non avrò molto tempoper visitare la città, ho intenzione di ritagliarmi qualche momento per andarea scovare qualche negozietto carino o qualche golosa patisserie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I preparativi però non mi hanno lasciato molto tempo percucinare in queste ultime settimane, ma è proprio in periodi frenetici comequesti che prendersi una pausa per fare un semplice e genuino plumcake è unvero piacere, una boccata d’aria che regala un po’ di relax!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Così ecco questo plumcake al caffè, nel caso abbiate anchevoi bisogno di una coccola… &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;PLUMCAKE BICOLOR AL CAFFE’ (ispirato a &lt;a href="http://www.cavolettodibruxelles.it/2009/03/caffe-corretto-versione-cake"&gt;questo&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;200 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 uova&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 g di mascarpone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 bustina di lievito&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Un pizzico di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;25 g di caffè espresso&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;25 g di sambuca&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Montate insieme le uova con lo zucchero fino ad ottenere uncomposto spumoso. Versate poi il mascarpone, il pizzico di sale e mescolatefinchè il tutto non è amalgamato. Versate infine la farina setacciata con illievito e mescolate ancora (se l’impasto è troppo denso aggiungete un po’ dilatte). A questo punto dividete l’impasto a metà. In una parte aggiungete ilcaffè espresso e nell’altra la sambuca. Prendete uno stampo da plumcakefoderato di carta oleata e versarvi prima il composto alla sambuca e poi ilcomposto al caffè. Infornare a 180°C per circa 50-60 minuti, o finchè unostecchino infilato al centro del dolce ne uscirà pulito.

Io da quando ho visto Meryl Streep che seducevaSteve Martin invitandolo nella sua pasticceria a fare i croissants non hopotuto fare a meno di desiderare di farli anche io! Solo che la procedura non èquel che si dice semplice e in più si ha a che fare con un lievitato, cosa chea me mette sempre un po’ di agitazione! Per questo il mio buon proposito halatitato per un po’, finchè non è arrivata Sarah con la sua Daring Kitchen Challenge,che questo mese proponeva proprio i croissants. Come valore aggiunto c’è ancheche la ricetta è tratta dal libro Mastering the Art of French Cooking dellagrande Julia Child…quindi non potevo più tergiversare, era il momento dipassare all’azione! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Scordatevi i croissants del bar, questi sono tutta un’altracosa, sono più simili al pane che alla pasta sfoglia, sono meno dolci e piùcroccanti all’esterno. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;TheDaring Bakers go retro this month!

Lasciate agire finchè sulla superficie dell’acqua nonsi creeranno delle bolle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nel frattempo far intiepidire il latte e sciogliervi il salee i 2 cucchiaini di zucchero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una ciotola versare la farina e i 2 cucchiai di olio.Aggiungere il latte e il lievito e impastare velocemente. Trasferire in unaspianatoia leggermente infarinata e lavorare l’impasto finchè non diventeràelastico e non appiccicoso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mettere su una ciotola pulita, coprire con della pellicola elasciar lievitare per 3 ore, o fino a quando l’impasto non triplicherà divolume.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Dopodichè trasferire l’impasto sulla spianatoia cosparsa difarina e con le dita stenderlo fino ad ottenere un rettangolo di 20X30 cm.Ripiegare il rettangolo in tre e riporlo nella ciotola coperta con dellapellicola. Lasciar lievitare per circa 1 ora e mezza o finchè non raddoppia divolume. Trasferire poi l’impasto in un piatto, coprire con la pellicola emettere in frigo. Nel frattempo togliere il burro dal frigo e con l’aiuto di unmattarello dargli qualche colpo in modo da ammorbidirlo. Una volta che diventa piùmalleabile stenderlo in un foglio di carta da forno con le nocche delle mani.&amp;nbsp; Togliere il panetto dal frigo e stenderlo inmodo da formare un rettangolo di 20X35 cm. Distribuire il burro sullasuperficie del rettangolo lasciando però un bordo di circa 6 mm. Piegare in treil rettangolo di pasta e ruotarlo di 90&lt;span class="st"&gt;°&lt;/span&gt;. Stenderlo conil mattarello per creare nuovamente un rettangolo di circa 20X35 cm. Piegare intre il rettangolo, avvolgerlo nella pellicola e porlo in frigo per circa 2 ore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Una volta trascorso tale tempo togliere l’impasto dal frigoe lasciarlo riposare per circa 10 minuti. Dopodichè stenderlo nuovamente percreare un rettangolo di 20X35 cm. Piegare in tre parti, ruotare di 90&lt;span class="st"&gt;° &lt;/span&gt;e stendere di nuovo per creare un rettangolo di 20X35 cm.Piegare in tre e porre il panetto in frigo avvolto nella pellicola. E’ oratempo di preparare i croissants. Foderare la teglia da forno con della cartaoleata. Prendere l’impasto e stenderlo fino a formare un rettangolo di 51 per12 cm. &amp;nbsp;Tagliare il rettangolo in due emettere una delle due metà in frigo. &amp;nbsp;Stenderel’altro rettangolo fino ad ottenere un rettangolo di 38X12 cm. Tagliarlo poi intre parti per formare dei quadrati di 12x12 cm. Mettere due quadrati in frigo.Tagliare il quadrato che avete tenuto nel piano di lavoro in diagonale in mododa ottenere due triangoli. Stendere il triangolo in modo da formare untriangolo isoscele. Arrotolare poi il triangolo così ottenuto a partire dallabase del triangolo e formare così il croissant (in questa fase potete anchefarcire il croissant con quello che più vi piace: un quadrato di cioccolatofondente, un po’ di marmellata… io li ho farciti con un cubetto di pasta dimandorle). Trasferire poi il croissant nella teglia da forno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Procedere così con tutti gli altri quadrati rimasti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Coprire poi i croissants con della pellicola e lasciar levitarefinchè non raddoppiano di volume.

Aspettare 5 minuti, o finchè il lievito non farà delle bolle in superficie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nel frattempo porre su una terrina capiente la farina con il restante cucchiaio di olio d’oliva e il sale. Versare poi il latte con il lievito e impastare fino ad ottenere una palla elastica (se necessario aggiungere dell’altra farina). Stendere la pasta su una teglia rettangolare di 18X28 cm (io ho usato una teglia rotonda di circa 24 cm di diametro) foderata di carta forno. Disporre sulla superficie i cipollotti premendo bene affinchè aderiscano alla pasta. Coprire con un canovaccio pulito e lasciar lievitare per 45 minuti circa, o finchè l’impasto non sarà raddoppiato di volume. Mettere in forno preriscaldato a 200&lt;span class="st"&gt;°&lt;/span&gt; C per circa 15-20 minuti, finchè la superficie della focaccia si sarà ben dorata.

Mai libro fu più azzeccato, visto che contiene decine di ricette per il gelato!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Avevo già sperimentato il connubio cioccolato-Guinnes qualche tempo fa con dei &lt;a href="http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/02/chocolate-guinnes-cupcakes.html"&gt;cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, e devo dire che funziona bene anche con il gelato. La Guinnes si avverte appena, con una leggera nota amara che però ben si sposa con la dolcezza del cioccolato al latte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GELATO AL CIOCCOLATO AL LATTE E GUINNES&lt;/b&gt; (per circa 1 litro)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;205 g di cioccolato al latte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 ml di latte intero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;100 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Un pizzico di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 tuorli d’uovo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 ml di panna&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;180 ml di Guinnes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Tritate finemente il cioccolato e porlo in una ciotola, su cui avrete appoggiato sopra un colino.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una pentola scaldare il latte insieme allo zucchero e al pizzico di sale. Nel frattempo, in una ciotola a parte, sbattere leggermente i tuorli. Quando il latte si sarà scaldato versatelo a filo sui tuorli, sbattendo continuamente affinchè le uova non si cuociano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Versare poi il tutto di nuovo sulla pentola e fate cuocere, mescolando continuamente, finchè la crema non velerà il cucchiaio. A questo punto versare la crema sul cioccolato, facendola passare attraverso il colino. Mescolare bene finchè tutto il cioccolato non si sarà sciolto, dopodiché aggiungere la panna, la Guinness e infine l’estratto di vaniglia. Far raffreddare in frigo per circa 2-3 ore e porre poi sulla gelatiera per circa 50 minuti. Trasferire il gelato su un contenitore e porre in freezer fino al momento di servire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-1655727824847738249?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/1655727824847738249/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/08/gelato-al-cioccolato-al-latte-e.html#comment-form' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/1655727824847738249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/1655727824847738249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/08/gelato-al-cioccolato-al-latte-e.html' title='Gelato al cioccolato al latte e Guinness'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DWL7c9u6K_Q/TkPBc1HtrpI/AAAAAAAAAko/HoLUaqjcm7U/s72-c/IMG_6294_rid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-4784645864534918105</id><published>2011-07-31T10:00:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-11T13:56:06.721+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tequila'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gelato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lime'/><title type='text'>Margarita ice cream</title><content type='html'>(English version below) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xk9vFls75nI/TjRe1tDwc-I/AAAAAAAAAkU/DLi0kkCC30M/s1600/IMG_5531_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xk9vFls75nI/TjRe1tDwc-I/AAAAAAAAAkU/DLi0kkCC30M/s640/IMG_5531_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Recentemente mi sono comprata la gelatiera, e, come potrete immaginare, mi sono divertita a sperimentare, calandomi nella parte della novella gelataia! Dapprima mi sono tenuta sul classico, con gelato al cioccolato o alla frutta, per poi osare un po’ di più con gusti alternativi! Tra quelli meglio riusciti c’è sicuramente quello al Margarita di Nigella.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certo la ricetta non prevede l'uso della gelatiera, ma visto che ce l'ho perchè non sfruttarla? Quindi ho preparato la crema, l'ho messa in frigo a raffreddare, e poi in gelatiera per circa 45 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Un gelato cremoso, con il gusto deciso del lime e della tequila, difficile da dimenticare! Prevedo che diventerà il mio cavallo di battaglia estivo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Con questa ricetta, che potete trovare &lt;a href="http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/no-churn-margarita-ice-cream-32"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;, partecipo al contest “&lt;a href="http://blog.maisoncupcake.com/forever-nigella/"&gt;Forever Nigella&lt;/a&gt; “di Luglio, ospitata questo mese da Arthi, del blog &lt;a href="http://debugcooking.blogspot.com/2011/06/forever-nigella-7-iced-dreams-chocolate.html"&gt;Soul Curry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EJoUrqxTXI/TjRfeMQ8E5I/AAAAAAAAAkc/XhiyccG5vg0/s1600/ForeverNigella_Banner_07.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EJoUrqxTXI/TjRfeMQ8E5I/AAAAAAAAAkc/XhiyccG5vg0/s200/ForeverNigella_Banner_07.gif" width="164" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;A few weeks ago I bought an ice-cream maker. As you can imagine I tried several different flavors. Firstly I began with the classic flavor of chocolate and fruit, but later I dared new combinations. Among these there is the Nigella's Margarita ice cream. Actually, this ice cream doesn't required an ice cream-maker, but since I've got one, why don't use it?!? So I made the cream, I chilled it in the refrigerator and then I put it in the ice cream maker for about 45 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;A creamy ice cream, with an amazing flavor of lime and tequila! I think it will be my favorite ice cream of this summer!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;With &lt;a href="http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/no-churn-margarita-ice-cream-32"&gt;this recipe&lt;/a&gt;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Quest’anno ho passato il mio compleanno in trasferta, caso ha voluto infatti che fossi a Munster per lavoro (non sapete dov’è Munster? beh, non preoccupatevi, non lo sapevo nemmeno io, prima di doverci andare!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Trent’ anni sono un traguardo importante, che può mettere anche un po’ di spavento. A dire la verità ero un po’ impaurita da questo numero tondo tondo, che ti costringe a tirare un po’ le somme della tua vita. Io l’ho fatto e diciamo che lo scenario che ne è saltato fuori non mi è dispiaciuto: &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ho una famiglia e un ragazzo che mi vogliono bene, ho dei cari amici, pochi ma buoni, un lavoro che, nonostante gli alti e bassi, mi piace e mi dà&lt;i style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;soddisfazioni, e ho avuto la possibilità di viaggiare in giro per il mondo e di conoscere posti nuovi… poteva andarmi peggio, in fondo!! Quindi nessuna tristezza o rimpianto, e, nonostante la lontananza da tutto e da tutti, quel giorno è stato comunque speciale, complice un mazzo di profumate rose rosse spedite dal mio ragazzo, che mi ha accolto nella mia camera d’albergo al mio ritorno dal lavoro, e una mega fetta di dolce acquistata in una delle più rinomate pasticcerie della città (perché io valgo!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mi è mancato però non potermi fare una bella torta di compleanno come si deve, e al mio ritorno non poteva accogliermi in modo migliore la sfida di Luglio della Daring Kitchen, ovvero la Fresh Fraisiers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Due strati di chiffon cake che racchiudono un morbido ripieno di crema e frutta. Un dolce, fresco, profumato, estivo…un degno modo per rifarmi della mia torta di compleanno mancata, non trovate?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Default"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Jana of &lt;a href="http://www.cherryteacakes.com/"&gt;Cherry Tea Cakes&lt;/a&gt; was our July Daring Bakers’ host and she challenges us to make Fresh Frasiers inspired by recipes written by Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson in the beautiful cookbook Tartine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FRESH FRAISIERS&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Per lo chiffon cake:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;155 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di lievito&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;170 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;½ cucchiaino di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;60 ml di olio&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;3 tuorli&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;95 ml di acqua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;¾ di cucchiaino di scorza di limone grattugiata&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;5 albumi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/4 di cucchiaino di cremor tartaro&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Foderare con della carta forno il fondo di uno stampo per dolci da 20 cm di diametro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare la farina,il lievito,il sale e tre cucchiai di zucchero (presi dai 170 g della ricetta).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In un’altra ciotola sbattere insieme i tuorli con l’olio, l’acqua, l’estratto di vaniglia e la scorza del limone. Emulsionare bene il tutto. Aggiungervi poi la mistura di farina e mescolare fino ad ottenere un composto omogeneo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una ciotola a parte montare gli albumi insieme al cremor tartaro. Una volta montati a neve aggiungere gradatamente il resto dello zucchero. Aggiungere &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;1/3 degli albumi al composto di tuorli e farina e incorporare delicatamente. Aggiungere poi il resto degli albumi al composto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Versare il tutto nello stampo e infornare a 160&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;°&lt;/span&gt; C per circa 45-50 minuti, o fino a quando il dolce non sarà ben cotto al centro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Togliere dal forno e lasciar raffreddare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Per la crema:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 ml di latte intero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;½ cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Un pizzico di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 cucchiai di fecola di mais&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;55 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 uovo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;30 g di burro, tagliato in 4 pezzi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 g (3/4 di cucchiaino) di gelatina in polvere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;½ cucchiaio di acqua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 ml di panna&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Versare il latte, la vaniglia e il sale in una pentola e porre su fuoco moderato. Nel frattempo in una ciotola sbattere leggermente l’uovo con lo zucchero e la fecola.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Una volta che il latte si sarà scaldato, senza raggiungere il bollore, versarlo a filo sulle uova continuando a sbattere, per evitare che queste si cuociano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Porre poi il tutto di nuovo sulla pentola e lasciar cuocere, continuando a mescolare, fino a che la crema non velerà il cucchiaio di legno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Togliere subito dal fuoco e passare la crema su un colino. Lasciar raffreddare per una decina di minuti, poi aggiungere il burro, un pezzo per volta, e mescolare finchè non si sarà sciolto del tutto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Coprire con della pellicola, facendola aderire bene alla superficie, e porre in frigo per almeno un paio d’ore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una piccola ciotola mettere la gelatina insieme all’acqua e tenere da parte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Riempire d’ acqua il fondo di una pentola e farla scaldare a fuoco medio. Porvi poi sopra una ciotola di dimensioni tali che non venga a contatto con l’acqua calda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Prendere circa 60 ml (1/4 di cup) di crema e versarla sulla ciotola lasciandola scaldare fino a 48 C. A questo punto aggiungere la gelatina e mescolare finchè il composto non sarà liscio. A questo punto togliere la ciotola dalla pentola e versare il resto della crema.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Montare la panna e aggiungerla delicatamente alla crema.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Per lo sciroppo:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;75 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;80 ml di acqua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Versare l’acqua e lo zucchero in un pentolino e scaldare su fuoco medio finchè lo zucchero non si sarà sciolto completamente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Assemblaggio del dolce:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Chiffon cake&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Crema&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sciroppo &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;900 g di frutta a piacere (io ho usato le pesche)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;140 g di pasta di mandorle&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Foderare i lati di una tortiera da 20 cm di diametro con della pellicola o con dei fogli di acetato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Tagliare orizzontalmente lo chiffon cake in modo da ottenere due dischi. Adagiare uno dei due dischi sul fondo della tortiera e bagnarlo con lo sciroppo. Disporre sui lati la frutta tagliata a fette. Con una sac a poche distribuire la crema tra la frutta e al centro del dolce in modo da creare un sottile strato.

Finalmente sono tornata! Stare lontana dal mio blog per così tanto tempo è stata dura, quasi quanto non poter pasticciare un po’ in cucina! Ma ora sto recuperando il tempo perduto, e mentre la casa è invasa dal profumo del lime e tequila (ricetta in arrivo, stay tuned!) mi rimetto finalmente a scrivere! In questo periodo sono stata in Germania&amp;nbsp; per lavoro e caso ha voluto che festeggiassi proprio lì il mio 30&lt;span class="st"&gt;°&lt;/span&gt; compleanno! Il &amp;nbsp;soggiorno in terra tedesca mi ha riservato molte sorprese, tra cui il ritrovarmi in pieno Luglio a girare con l’ombrello con indosso la felpa e la giacca…non che una volta tornata a casa la situazione sia migliorata, pioggia e freschetto anche qui…Così, mentre fuori il cielo è grigio, la mente torna alle giornate piene di mare e di sole che ho trovato a Nizza, ormai un mese fa !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;La costa azzurra merita la sua fama: acqua cristallina, cielo azzurro e sole cocente…tanto che mi sono persino abbronzata, io che di solito raggiungo al massimo una sfumatura caffè-latte…anzi, latte macchiato, a dirla tutta!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-suJzADw4amE/TixW5sUGiQI/AAAAAAAAAjk/D4La8JxcE4E/s1600/PIC00013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-suJzADw4amE/TixW5sUGiQI/AAAAAAAAAjk/D4La8JxcE4E/s400/PIC00013.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nizza è stata una bella scoperta: è una città deliziosa, con la sua spiaggia a due passi dal centro, e la sua citta’ vecchia, con stradine tutte da esplorare alla ricerca del ristorantino o del negozio che più ci attira.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Prima tappa da non perdere è senza dubbio il mercato dei fiori che si tiene ogni mattina a Curs Saleya, dove, oltre ai fiori ovviamente, ci sono un sacco di banchi di frutta e verdura, miele, formaggi e olive, dove fermarsi per prendere un po’ della famosa tapenade, una salsa a base di olive e acciughe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sjNK64NWnZ4/TixXirTIEbI/AAAAAAAAAjo/JvSCeHwXbgk/s1600/PIC00059.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sjNK64NWnZ4/TixXirTIEbI/AAAAAAAAAjo/JvSCeHwXbgk/s400/PIC00059.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WdzCTD7oltE/TixXtvK8irI/AAAAAAAAAjs/1vhO0VD74-w/s1600/PIC00065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WdzCTD7oltE/TixXtvK8irI/AAAAAAAAAjs/1vhO0VD74-w/s400/PIC00065.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Non si può poi non fare una sosta nelle bancarelle che vendono lavanda in tutte le sue declinazioni, dai sacchettini di fiori per profumare gli armadi, alle ghirlande, fino ai profumi e ai saponi! Non dimentichiamoci &amp;nbsp;poi che siamo in Provenza, quindi bisogna assolutamente fare incetta di sacchetti di erbe provenzali (che oltretutto vi riempiranno la valigia di un profumo celestiale!! ). Se con tutti questi acquisiti ad un tratto vi mancano le forze si può sempre fare uno spuntino al volo al mercato, magari con un trancio di pissaladiere, una specie di pizza con sopra cipolle e acciughe, o ancora meglio con un pezzo di socca, una focaccia di farina di ceci.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LBEpkuDE6f4/TixrkxcvySI/AAAAAAAAAkE/nCtzhb8m_Gw/s1600/PIC00073.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LBEpkuDE6f4/TixrkxcvySI/AAAAAAAAAkE/nCtzhb8m_Gw/s400/PIC00073.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j6_yIWovAa8/TixrbfHlYaI/AAAAAAAAAkA/7n0jUvy0oVY/s1600/PIC00071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j6_yIWovAa8/TixrbfHlYaI/AAAAAAAAAkA/7n0jUvy0oVY/s400/PIC00071.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lu-10UdfLV4/TixsBrG-EFI/AAAAAAAAAkI/E_-NbSno0tg/s1600/PIC00062.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lu-10UdfLV4/TixsBrG-EFI/AAAAAAAAAkI/E_-NbSno0tg/s400/PIC00062.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Addentrandosi poi più in centro si fanno dolci scoperte, la città infatti pullula letteralmente di negozi di biscotti e ti verrebbe davvero voglia di comprare qualcosa in ognuno di essi! Se volete qualche assaggino dirigetevi al La Cure Gurmand, qui infatti appena entri ti offrono un biscotto …noi ci siamo andati un sacco di volte,e qui ho trovato anche delle carinissime scatoline di latta! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Altro negozietto da non farsi scappare è L’Art Gurmand, dove potrete trovare gelatine, cioccolatini, gelato ma soprattutto un’inifinita’ di tipi di biscotti!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oYJw_X_C5fQ/TixYQCoFLDI/AAAAAAAAAjw/ONB2djSw7vo/s1600/PIC00220.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oYJw_X_C5fQ/TixYQCoFLDI/AAAAAAAAAjw/ONB2djSw7vo/s400/PIC00220.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Se poi tutto questo passeggiare vi sentite un po’ accaldati niente di meglio che rinfrescarsi con un gelato da Fenocchio, nella piazza centrare, meta piuttosto frequentata da nizzardi e non, infatti c’è sempre coda! Ma l’attesa vale la pena, se poi ci si può gustare un gelato alla lavanda, alla rosa, al fico o allo speculoos !!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Altro cibo da passeggio è il famoso pan bagnat, il panino farcito con la salade nicoise! Buono e enorme, di sicuro sarete apposto per un bel po’ di ore!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Che dire, Nizza è una città da vivere, perché è soprattutto la sua atmosfera che ti conquista e ti fa desiderare di poterci tornare presto!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5kpdurMqHdk/TixYhJfqWHI/AAAAAAAAAj0/yQiVwSamnbk/s1600/PIC00125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5kpdurMqHdk/TixYhJfqWHI/AAAAAAAAAj0/yQiVwSamnbk/s400/PIC00125.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7IDL1E5z1dQ/TixYs6jS8DI/AAAAAAAAAj4/YxwvNzhRPyo/s1600/PIC00020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7IDL1E5z1dQ/TixYs6jS8DI/AAAAAAAAAj4/YxwvNzhRPyo/s400/PIC00020.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ABvhHADcfw0/TixsRO3bcjI/AAAAAAAAAkM/qCKPRGRIliw/s1600/PIC00129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ABvhHADcfw0/TixsRO3bcjI/AAAAAAAAAkM/qCKPRGRIliw/s400/PIC00129.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-2799250788509609392?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/2799250788509609392/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/07/un-giro-nizza.html#comment-form' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/2799250788509609392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/2799250788509609392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/07/un-giro-nizza.html' title='Un giro a Nizza'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjMojo2uQiY/TixVDICAawI/AAAAAAAAAjg/X2NxBfYcjLs/s72-c/PIC00014.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-4395303356791465601</id><published>2011-07-03T19:00:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-31T11:17:43.212+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='salse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antipasto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pita'/><title type='text'>Hummus</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lhEgru3gCJw/Tg8Oq15lmDI/AAAAAAAAAi8/4dEs5bsOuOo/s1600/PIC00130_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lhEgru3gCJw/Tg8Oq15lmDI/AAAAAAAAAi8/4dEs5bsOuOo/s640/PIC00130_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negli anni passati ho sempre avuto un po’ di pregiudizi riguardo all’hummus. Quando ancora la cucina non mi interessava più di tanto lo reputavo una salsina insipida adatta solo a una cucina macrobiotica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Quanto mi sbagliavo… non solo ho scoperto che l’hummus è un tipico piatto arabo con una tradizione antichissima, ma anche che è tutto fuorchè insipido!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Lo avevo assaggiato in un ristorante greco qualche tempo fa e da allora l’ho rivalutato, tanto che mi sono ripromessa di farlo anche in casa, prima o poi. E quale occasione migliore del contest di Stefania, alias &lt;a href="http://arabafeliceincucina.blogspot.com/"&gt;Arabafelice&lt;/a&gt;, per provarlo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nel suo bellissimo blog non solo ho trovato la ricetta per l’hummus classica, ma anche alcune sue variazioni, ugualmente appetitose.

Io ho avuto la fortuna di trascorrere il solstizio a Nizza, e qui, come in tutta la Francia, si usa festeggiare l’evento a suon di musica. Locali e spazi aperti si riempiono di gruppi o solisti che cantano e suonano per celebrare l’inizio di questa calda stagione! Spero di riuscire a postare un po’ di foto del breve weekend che ho trascorso lì, Nizza è una bellissima città… e soprattutto ci sono tante cose buone da provare. Ormai per me viaggi e cibo sono diventati una coppia indissolubile!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nel frattempo però vi racconto un po’ questa ricetta, fatta in velocità ieri sera per placare il mio bisogno di ritornare ai fornelli dopo un così lungo tempo di lontananza!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Spezie miscelate sapientemente, del pomodoro fresco, gamberetti e riso basmati: questi sono gli ingredienti per una cena perfetta!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Con questa ricetta partecipo al contest Forever Nigella di Giugno, ospitato da Kat di &lt;a href="http://housewifeconfidential.co.uk/2011/05/forever-nigella-6-sea-fish-and-eat-it/"&gt;Housewife Confidential&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uIgMIW39fC4/TgZNol42naI/AAAAAAAAAi4/ir-fO_Sar0M/s1600/Forever-Nigella-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uIgMIW39fC4/TgZNol42naI/AAAAAAAAAi4/ir-fO_Sar0M/s200/Forever-Nigella-6.jpg" width="164" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAURITIAN PRAWN CURRY&lt;/b&gt; ( per 4-6 persone)(ispirata a “Forever Summer” di Nigella Lawson)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaio di curcuma&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di coriandolo in polvere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di cumino in polvere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/2 cucchiaino di peperoncino&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/4 di cucchiaino di garam masala&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;un pezzo da circa 4 cm di zenzero fresco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 spicchi d’aglio&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 grossi cipollotti&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 cucchiai di olio di semi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;400 g di pomodoro fresco tagliati a grandi pezzi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;succo e scorza di mezzo limone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;un pizzico di cannella&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;750 g di gamberetti surgelati&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;una manciata di coriandolo fresco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 tazze di riso basmati&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mettere nel frullatore tutte le spezie.

Non so a voi, ma a me succede spesso, anche perché, come ho &lt;a href="http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/02/syllabub-allo-yogurt.html"&gt;già&lt;/a&gt; avuto modo di dire, a me lo yogurt greco da solo proprio non va giù!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Che cosa farne quindi di questo yogurt?

Ma perché non provare qualcosa di diverso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una veloce ricerca tra i blog ed ecco apparire questi scones, così insoliti per la presenza del pompelmo, che non ho mai usato prima nei dolci. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;E il pompelmo si sente parecchio, dato che se ne utilizza sia la buccia che la polpa. Non vi dico il profumo che si spandeva per la cucina mentre grattugiavamo la scorza, una vera sferzata di energia! Se il solo profumo fa questo effetto, immaginatevi che miracoli possono fare questi scones se mangiati al mattino!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SCONES ALLO YOGURT E POMPELMO&lt;/b&gt; (per circa 10 piccoli scones) (da &lt;a href="http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/"&gt;Joy the Baker&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;200 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di lievito&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/2 cucchiaino di bicarbonato&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/4 di cucchiaino di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;80 g di burro, freddo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 cucchiai di miele&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;110 g di yogurt greco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 pompelmo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;50 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;un goccio di latte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;gocce di cioccolato (opzionali)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare insieme la farina, il lievito, il bicarbonato e il sale.

Lavorare velocemente con le dita fino ad ottenere un impasto piuttosto bricioloso. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Tagliare a vivo il pompelmo (per supporto visivo, guardare &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG5mcEEBlcI"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;) e aggiungerlo al composto, insieme al miele e allo yogurt.&amp;nbsp; Mescolare bene il tutto. Trasferire l’impasto in una spianatoia ben infarinata e stenderlo con un mattarello ottenendo un disco di circa 20 cm di diametro e 3 di spessore. Tagliare il disco a spicchi con un coltello (oppure utilizzare un coppa pasta) e porre gli scones così ottenuti su una teglia foderata di carta forno. Spennellarli infine con un po’ di latte e &amp;nbsp;distribuirvi sulla superficie lo zucchero aromatizzato tenuto da parte. Se vi capita di finirlo prima di aver ricoperto tutti gli scones, utilizzate delle gocce di cioccolato come sostitutivo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Infornare a 200° C per circa 15-17 minuti, o fino a quando gli scones saranno dorati in superficie ma ancora un po’ morbidi al centro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-7653628948831203479?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/7653628948831203479/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/06/scones-allo-yogurt-e-pompelmo.html#comment-form' title='6 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/7653628948831203479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/7653628948831203479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/06/scones-allo-yogurt-e-pompelmo.html' title='Scones allo yogurt e pompelmo'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_mfWhKNwdKY/TfUXrs71dDI/AAAAAAAAAhw/O6oBXez5nqw/s72-c/PIC00181_rid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-5056310846460547121</id><published>2011-06-06T09:00:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-06T09:58:07.598+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pancetta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='datteri'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antipasti'/><title type='text'>Involtini di datteri e pancetta</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fwuJYTBiz5w/TepDtA2VoWI/AAAAAAAAAhk/ZA0Lpf8LeGA/s1600/PIC00060b_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fwuJYTBiz5w/TepDtA2VoWI/AAAAAAAAAhk/ZA0Lpf8LeGA/s400/PIC00060b_rid.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Se si hanno solo un paio d’ore a disposizione da trascorrere al souk di Marrakech, e si ha intenzione di comprare l’impossibile, è di fondamentale importanza riuscire a rimanere concentrati sul proprio obiettivo!

Se poi ci mettiamo che volevo provare a fare le meringhe al cioccolato, beh, con il senno di poi posso dire che forse ho voluto fare il passo più lungo della gamba!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Come saprete, ormai me ne lamento da 3 post a questa parte, il mio tempo per cucinare ultimamente si è ridotto ai minimi termini! Non ho voluto però mancare all’appuntamento con la Daring Kitchen che questo mese era ospitata da Jenny, di &lt;a href="http://www.purplehousedirt.com/"&gt;Purple House Dirt&lt;/a&gt;, e da Emma,&amp;nbsp; di &lt;a href="http://cookcraftgrow.wordpress.com/"&gt;CookCraftGrow&lt;/a&gt;. Jenny ed Emma ci hanno sfidato a preparare una Marquise con meringa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Devo dire che stavolta come non mai ho apportato numerose modifiche alla ricetta originale, soprattutto per ovviare al mio tempo limitato. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cqqJu8_lsMs/Td6EApXMorI/AAAAAAAAAgk/xblYRh71ToI/s1600/PIC00139_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cqqJu8_lsMs/Td6EApXMorI/AAAAAAAAAgk/xblYRh71ToI/s400/PIC00139_rid.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Così ho lasciato perdere la ricetta originale e ho optato per una variante più easy, trovata sul &lt;a href="http://www.pianetadonna.it/cucina/guide/come-preparare-la-marquise-al-cioccolato"&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Parliamo poi dello scottante argomento: la meringa. La ricetta di Emma e Jenny prevedeva di fare una meringa non cotta, ma, non essendo una grande fan di questa preparazione, ho scelto ti cuocerla. Nella mia mente mi ero già fatta il quadretto: una bella fetta di marquise al cioccolato, un generoso ciuffo di panna montata adagiata sopra, una meringa al cioccolato per completare l’opera. Come anticipato però non ho avuto fortuna, gli albumi non ne hanno voluto sapere di montarsi (anzi, lancio un appello, se avete una ricetta per le meringhe al cioccolato da suggerirmi, siete più che benvenute!! Quando avrò un po’ più di respiro ho intenzione di riprovare a farle!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ho ripiegato così sulle meringhe tradizionali, prendendo spunto dalla ricetta della &lt;a href="http://www.cookaround.com/yabbse1/entry.php?b=90731"&gt;meringa alla francese&lt;/a&gt;. Anche in questo caso però la fortuna non è stata dalla mia parte e le meringhe non mi sono venute benissimo, così ho dovuto sbriciolarle e cospargerle sopra la marquise per salvare almeno l’apparenza!!&lt;br /&gt;Devo dire che il mio orgoglio deve ancora riprendersi, anche se la fetta gigante di marquise che vedete in foto mi ha aiutato molto a tirarmi su di morale!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eccovi le ricette originali. Portate pazienza, non ce l’ho fatta a tradurle, mi perdonate???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JZQQMEfUgng/Td67nWeGFEI/AAAAAAAAAgs/A52A_lcttWc/s1600/PIC00172_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JZQQMEfUgng/Td67nWeGFEI/AAAAAAAAAgs/A52A_lcttWc/s400/PIC00172_rid.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The May 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Emma of CookCraftGrow and Jenny of Purple House Dirt. They chose to challenge everyone to make a Chocolate Marquise. The inspiration for this recipe comes from a dessert they prepared at a restaurant in Seattle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;MARQUISE AL CIOCCOLATO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Ingredients:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;11 large egg yolks at room temperature &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;4 large whole eggs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;2/3 cup (120 grams/ 4 oz.) sugar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1/3 cup (2.5 fluid oz./ 70 ml.) water &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;2 cups (16 fluid oz./ 500 ml.) heavy cream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;2 cups Dutch process cocoa powder (for rolling) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg yolks and whole eggs. Whip on high speed until very thick and pale, about 10 - 15 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;When the eggs are getting close to finishing, make a sugar syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small saucepan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Bring the syrup to a boil and then cook to softball stage (235F/115C). If you have a cake tester with a metal loop for a handle, the right stage for the syrup is reached when you can blow a bubble through the loop (as seen in the following picture). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle the sugar syrup into the fluffy eggs, trying to hit that magic spot between the mixing bowl and the whisk. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br clear="all" style="mso-break-type: section-break; page-break-before: auto;" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Section2"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;When all of the syrup has been added (do it fairly quickly), turn the mixer back on high and whip until the bowl is cool to the touch. This will take at least 10 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Set aside. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;When the egg mixture has cooled, add the chocolate base to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Try to get it as consistent as possible without losing all of the air you've whipped into the eggs. We used the stand mixer for this, and it took about 1 minute. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Fold 1/3 of the reserved whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, and then fold in the remaining whipped cream. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br clear="all" style="mso-break-type: section-break; page-break-before: auto;" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Section3"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Pour into the prepared pans and cover with plastic wrap (directly touching the mixture so it doesn't allow in any air). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Freeze until very firm, at least 2 - 4 hours (preferably 6 – 8 hours). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;When you're ready to plate, remove the marquise from the freezer at least 15 minutes before serving. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;While it's still hard, remove it from the pan by pulling on the parchment 'handles' or by flipping it over onto another piece of parchment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Cut it into cubes and roll the cubes in cocoa powder. These will start to melt almost immediately, so don't do this step until all of your other plating components (meringue, caramel, spiced nuts, cocoa nibs) are ready. The cubes need to sit in the fridge to slowly thaw so plating components can be done during that time. They don’t need to be ready before the cubes are rolled in the cocoa powder. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br clear="all" style="mso-break-type: section-break; page-break-before: auto;" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Section4"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;MERINGA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Servings: Makes about 4 - 5 cups of meringue. If you aren't planning on serving *all* of the marquise at once, you might want to scale this recipe back a bit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;11 large egg whites &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1 ¾ cups (12 oz.) sugar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Splash of apple cider vinegar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1/2 teaspoon vanilla &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Combine the egg whites, sugar and vinegar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using your (clean, washed) hand, reach in the bowl and stir the three together, making sure the sugar is moistened evenly by the egg whites and they make a homogeneous liquid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Over a saucepan of simmering water, warm the egg white mixture. Use one hand to stir the mixture continuously, feeling for grains of sugar in the egg whites. As the liquid heats up, the sugar will slowly dissolve and the egg whites will thicken. This step is complete when you don't feel any more sugar crystals in the liquid and it is uniformly warm, nearly hot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br clear="all" style="mso-break-type: section-break; page-break-before: auto;" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Section5"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Remove the mixing bowl from the saucepan and return it to the stand mixer with the whisk attachment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Whisk until you reach soft peaks. In the last 10 seconds of mixing, add the vanilla to the meringue and mix thoroughly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;When you're ready to plate the dessert, spoon the meringue onto a plate (or use a piping bag) and use a blowtorch to broil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br clear="all" style="mso-break-type: section-break; page-break-before: always;" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-7480466897965170931?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/7480466897965170931/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/05/daring-bakers-challenge-maggio-2011.html#comment-form' title='5 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/7480466897965170931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/7480466897965170931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/05/daring-bakers-challenge-maggio-2011.html' title='Daring Bakers&apos; Challenge Maggio 2011: Marquise al cioccolato'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DhT4gBKYO9c/Td68msEPOXI/AAAAAAAAAgw/WU_t6z21VWE/s72-c/PIC00005b_rid2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-3348377599367401675</id><published>2011-05-21T09:00:00.017+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-24T22:23:07.905+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cookies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='farina di mais'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='timo'/><title type='text'>Cookies con farina di mais e timo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pCbjKrNMpw8/TdZp7ogESeI/AAAAAAAAAgc/0vIljQ7Clug/s1600/PIC00189_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pCbjKrNMpw8/TdZp7ogESeI/AAAAAAAAAgc/0vIljQ7Clug/s640/PIC00189_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In questi prossimi mesi dovrete scusarmi! Mi rendo conto che ultimamente non faccio che lamentarmi della mancanza di tempo ma, davvero, al lavoro ho così tante cose da finire e altrettanti progetti da iniziare, con poco tempo a disposizione, che temo trascurerò un po' il blog...anche se ho sempre la speranza di riuscire a incastrare, magari con qualche gioco di prestigio, cucina e impegni lavorativi!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nonostante le varie incombenze, lo scorso fine settimana sono riuscita a sfornare questi favolosi biscottini. Devo dire che mi sono auto-viziata: da quando ho iniziato a fare colazione/merenda con i biscotti fatti in casa faccio fatica a tornare a quelli confezionati!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Così, se ho qualche ora di tempo libero, mi butto a impastare e a sfornare! Se poi i biscotti sono semplici come questi, il compito è anche più facile! Era da settimane che avevo voglia di biscotti fatti con la farina di mais, così, mentre sfogliavo il &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.it/Martha-Stewarts-Cookies-Treats-Share/dp/0307394549/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1305897523&amp;amp;sr=8-4"&gt;libro&lt;/a&gt; di Martha, ho visto questi con il timo e non ho potuto resistere! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;COOKIES CON FARINA DI MAIS E TIMO&lt;/b&gt; (per circa 30 biscotti) (dal libro “Martha Stewart's Cookies”)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;200 g di burro ammorbidito a temperatura ambiente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;200 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;180 g di farina di mais&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di bicarbonato&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;½ cucchiaino di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 uova&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaio abbondante di foglie di timo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;90 g di uvetta&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare insieme i due tipi di farina, il bicarbonato e il sale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mettete nel mixer il burro e lo zucchero e frullare finchè non si otterrà un composto spumoso.

Distribuirvi sopra le zucchine, i cipollotti e i pomodorini. Cospargere sulla superficie il formaggio blu sbriciolato e il grana padano grattugiato. Condire infine con il pepe nero macinato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Porre in forno a 200°C per circa 25 minuti, o fino a quanto la crostata non sarà dorata in superficie.

Nel libro vedo che la ricetta che avevo scelto era per 30 mini cupcakes quindi ho pensato di dimezzare le quantità usando un uovo piccolo invece che uno grande. Faccio tutto, verso l’impasto negli stampini, ma ne riempio solo un terzo. Cavolo, ho pensato, devono proprio essere super-mini i cupcakes americani, vabbè, faccio un’altra metà di impasto! Mentre traffico di nuovo con gli ingredienti mi accorgo che ho dimenticato di metter l’uovo nell’impasto precedente (ecco perché era così poco!). Mi sono maledetta per bene mentre stavolta stavo ben attenta a mettere l’uovo e a non dimenticare per strada nient’altro … ah la primavera!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2oWcmusCDxo/TZ4oILq-JwI/AAAAAAAAAe4/TL6PAWFA5RY/s1600/PIC00021_rid2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2oWcmusCDxo/TZ4oILq-JwI/AAAAAAAAAe4/TL6PAWFA5RY/s640/PIC00021_rid2.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MOJITO MINI CUPCAKES&lt;/b&gt; (tratto da “Cake Days”) (per circa 30 mini-cupcakes)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;100 ml di rum bianco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;170 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;40 g di burro&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;120 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;¼ di cucchiaino di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 e ½ cucchiaino di lievito&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di scorza di limone grattugiata&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di scorza di lime grattugiata&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaio di menta fresca tritata finemente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 uovo grande&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;120 ml di latte intero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;½ cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In un pentolino portare a ebollizione il rum insieme a 30 g di zucchero, tenere sul fuoco finchè non si sarà ridotto della metà.

Mescolare il tutto finchè l’impasto non formerà delle grosse briciole. Aggiungere a questo punto il latte e l’uovo continuando a sbattere finchè il tutto non sarà ben amalgamato. Riempire gli stampini da mini-cupacakes &amp;nbsp;per circa 2/3 della loro altezza e infornare a 170&lt;span id="search"&gt;°&lt;/span&gt; C per circa 12-15 minuti.

In sostanza un dolce da accompagnare al caffè (o al tè) farcito con meringa e frutta secca.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Trattandosi di un lievitato la preparazione è piuttosto lunga, ma il procedimento è simile allo &lt;a href="http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2010/12/daring-bakers-challenge-dicembre-2010.html"&gt;Stollen&lt;/a&gt; fatto a Dicembre. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Io ho scelto la versione con noci e cannella di Jamie, ma mi sono riproposta di provare anche quella con anacardi e garam masala proposta da Ria, che deve essere altrettanto buona!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xEsbqLULO1c/TY5F3F30J_I/AAAAAAAAAeY/SO6ymkdcmLo/s1600/PIC00221_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xEsbqLULO1c/TY5F3F30J_I/AAAAAAAAAeY/SO6ymkdcmLo/s640/PIC00221_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;FILLED MERINGUE CAKE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Per la pasta lievitata:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;300 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;30 g di &lt;/span&gt;zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;1 pizzico di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;½ &amp;nbsp;bustina (3 g circa) di lievito di birra secco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;90 ml di latte intero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;30 ml di acqua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;70 g di burro a temperatura ambiente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;1 uovo grande&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Per la meringa:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;2 albumi piccoli&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;un pizzico di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;1/4 cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;55 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Per il ripieno:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;55 g di noci tritate grossolanamente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;1 cucchiaio di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;¼ di cucchiaino di cannella&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;85 g di gocce di cioccolato&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;1 uovo per spennellare il dolce&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Zucchero a velo e cacao amaro in polvere per spolverizzare il dolce prima di servire&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare 115 g di farina con lo zucchero, il sale e il lievito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;In un pentolino far sciogliere il burro insieme all’acqua e al latte e scaldare su fuoco medio finchè il burro non si sarà sciolto. Togliere dal fuoco e lasciar intiepidire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Aggiungere gradualmente il liquido alla mistura di farina sbattendo con le fruste elettriche finchè il tutto non è ben amalgamato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Aggiungere poi le uova e 75 g di farina e sbattere per altri 2 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Con un cucchiaio di legno aggiungere infine il resto della farina e mescolare. Porre l’impasto su una spianatoia cosparsa di farina e impastare finchè l’impasto diventerà liscio ed elastico e non appiccicoso, aggiungendo altra farina se necessario. Porre su una ciotola leggermente unta d’olio e coprire con un canovaccio lasciando lievitare per almeno 1 ora, o fino a quando l’impasto non duplicherà di volume.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Preparare il ripieno mescolando la cannella con lo zucchero, le noci tritate e le gocce di cioccolato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Una volta che l’impasto è duplicato di volume preparare la meringa:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;In una ciotola pulita montare a neve gli albumi con un pizzico di sale. Aggiungere la vaniglia e lo zucchero gradualmente fino ad ottenere un composto lucido.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Stendere ora la pasta formando un rettangolo approssimativamente di 50x25 cm. Spalmarvi sopra la meringa, lasciando un bordo di circa 4 cm lungo tutti i lati, e cospargere infine con il ripieno di noci e cioccolato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Arrotolare la pasta per il lato lungo e creare un cilindro. Unire i due estremi formando così una ciambella.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Con una forbice creare delle piccole incisioni lungo tutto il bordo del dolce. Coprire con un canovaccio e lasciar lievitare per un’altra ora.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Preriscaldare il forno a 180°C.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Spennellare la superficie del dolce con un uovo sbattuto e mettere in forno per circa 25-30 minuti, o fino a quando battendo con le nocche della mano sul fondo del dolce non si sentirà suonare a vuoto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Togliere dal forno e lasciar raffreddare. Cospargere infine con dello zucchero a velo mescolato a del cacao amaro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daring Bakers' Challenge March 2011: Filled Meringue Coffee Cake&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pVoj5CP9xU8/TY5FpyAUKcI/AAAAAAAAAeU/8HQRBiJfLn0/s1600/PIC00169_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pVoj5CP9xU8/TY5FpyAUKcI/AAAAAAAAAeU/8HQRBiJfLn0/s400/PIC00169_rid.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Finally Spring is arrived, the air gets warm, the light hours increase and the flowers begin to blossom! It’s wonderful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I know that everytime it’s the same story, but, really, this month is flown! March has been poor of recipes, I know, but I hope to remedy in the next weeks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Anyway, here we are again with the Daring Bakers Challenge. The March 2011 Daring Baker’s Challenge was hosted by Ria of &lt;a href="http://riascollection.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ria’s Collection&lt;/a&gt; and Jamie of &lt;a href="http://lifesafeast.blogspot.com/"&gt;Life’s a Feast&lt;/a&gt;. Ria and Jamie challenged The Daring Bakers to bake a yeasted Meringue Coffee Cake. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;For my challenge I tried the Jamie’s version, with the walnuts and cinnamon, &amp;nbsp;even if I’m planning to make also the Ria’s version as soon as possible, with cashews and garam masala, which has to be delicious as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xEsbqLULO1c/TY5F3F30J_I/AAAAAAAAAeY/SO6ymkdcmLo/s1600/PIC00221_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xEsbqLULO1c/TY5F3F30J_I/AAAAAAAAAeY/SO6ymkdcmLo/s400/PIC00221_rid.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;FILLED MERINGUE COFFEE CAKE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;For the dough:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;300 g of&amp;nbsp; flour &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;30&amp;nbsp; g of sugar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1/2 package (3 g) of active dried yeast &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;90 ml of &amp;nbsp;whole milk &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;30 ml of water (doesn’t matter what temperature) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;70 g of unsalted butter at room temperature &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1 large egg at room temperature &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;For the meringue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;2 small egg whites at room temperature &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;a pinch of salt &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;¼ &amp;nbsp;teaspoon of vanilla &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;55 &amp;nbsp;g of sugar &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;For the filling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;55 &amp;nbsp;g of chopped pecans or walnuts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1 tablespoon of granulated sugar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;65 g of semisweet chocolate chips or coarsely chopped chocolate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Egg wash: 1 beaten egg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Cocoa powder and confectioner’s sugar for dusting cakes &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In a large mixing bowl, combine 115 g of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In a saucepan, combine the milk, water and butter and heat over medium heat until warm and the butter is just melted. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;With an electric mixer on low speed, gradually add the warm liquid to the flour/yeast mixture, beating until well blended. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes. Add the egg and 75g flour and beat for 2 more minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Using a wooden spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a dough that holds together. Turn out onto a floured surface (use any of the remaining flour) and knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is soft, smooth &amp;nbsp;and elastic, keeping the work surface floured and adding extra flour as needed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Place the dough in a lightly greased &amp;nbsp;bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise until double in bulk, 45 – 60 minutes. The rising time will depend on the type of yeast you use. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Prepare your filling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the filling if using. You can add the chopped nuts to this if you like, but I find it easier to sprinkle on both the nuts and the chocolate separately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Once the dough has doubled, make the meringue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In a clean mixing bowl&amp;nbsp; beat the egg whites with the salt, first on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high and continue beating until foamy and opaque. Add the vanilla then start adding the 1/4 cup sugar, a tablespoon at a time as you beat, until very stiff, glossy peaks form. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Assemble the Coffee Cakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Line 1 baking/cookie sheet &amp;nbsp;with parchment paper. Punch down the dough. On a lightly floured surface, working the dough, roll out the dough into a 51x 25 cm rectangle. Spread the meringue evenly over the rectangle up to about 3/4 cm from the edges. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the meringue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Now, roll up the dough jellyroll style, from the long side. Pinch the seam closed to seal. Very carefully transfer the filled log to one of the lined cookie sheet, seam side down. Bring the ends of the log around and seal the ends together, forming a ring, tucking one end into the other and pinching to seal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Using kitchen scissors &amp;nbsp;make cuts along the outside edge at 2 ½ cm intervals. Make them as shallow or as deep as desired but don’t be afraid to cut deep into the ring. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Cover the &amp;nbsp;coffee cake with plastic wrap and allow it to rise again for 45 to 60 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the top of the coffee cake with the egg wash.

Sono tornata! Dopo una settimana in Texas e una settimana a Roma eccomi finalmente riapparire sul mio blog! Wow, tra shopping statunitense e romano questo mese la mia carta di credito se l’è vista brutta, e peggio ancora il mio conto in banca…però come si fa a resistere a prendere cose che sai che a casa sono introvabili, come fai a lasciare lì una teglia da mini-muffin carinissima, oppure le gocce al burro di arachidi o di butterscotch? O ancora, come fai a uscire da Castroni senza prenderti qualcosina: &amp;nbsp;una spezia, una qualche farina particolare? Semplicemente non si può!! Vabbè, vorrà dire che ad Aprile non ci saranno spese extra (...seee, non ci credo nemmeno io!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ieri mattina, di ritorno dalla nostra passeggiata in centro carichi di borse, io e il mio boy ci siamo voluti trattare bene, pranzando con gorgonzola, pere e noci caramellate!

I’m back! After one week in Texas and one week in Rome I’m finally reappeared on my blog! The shopping in these last two weeks was quite intense, but how can you resist to buy something that is unavailable in your city? How can you leave a so cute mini-muffin pan or peanut and butterscotch chips? You can’t!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Yesterday morning, back from our walk in Rome laden with shopping bags, my boy and I prepared a simply but delicious plate with gorgonzola cheese, pears and walnuts caramelized. A divine combination, Nigella didn’t disappoint us this time either!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;With this recipe I’ll join the “&lt;a href="http://blog.maisoncupcake.com/forever-nigella/"&gt;Forever Nigella&lt;/a&gt;” Challenge of March, where the theme is “Ciao Italia”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;You can find the recipe &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/marsalahoneypearswit_87053"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NLwHbBegCcM/TYUmEwZBwgI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/uchuf0w8VUM/s1600/ForeverNigella_Banner_03.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NLwHbBegCcM/TYUmEwZBwgI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/uchuf0w8VUM/s200/ForeverNigella_Banner_03.gif" width="164" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-8445806353404534549?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/8445806353404534549/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/03/gorgonzola-con-pere-e-noci-caramellate.html#comment-form' title='6 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/8445806353404534549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/8445806353404534549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/03/gorgonzola-con-pere-e-noci-caramellate.html' title='Gorgonzola con pere e noci caramellate al marsala'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K4wXrLsuCR0/TYUlFTx8XII/AAAAAAAAAeM/N1ruzrvjoho/s72-c/PIC00127_mod.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-6922260523778241578</id><published>2011-03-02T17:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-02T17:59:26.032+01:00</updated><title type='text'>E' tempo...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XeqOIzRqS98/TW51_8z4hKI/AAAAAAAAAeI/t1MYZgdvn-I/s1600/texas_img.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="275" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XeqOIzRqS98/TW51_8z4hKI/AAAAAAAAAeI/t1MYZgdvn-I/s400/texas_img.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... di fare la valigia e partire!

A molti la panna cotta piace proprio per la sua estrema morbidezza e per il suo gusto delicato… non a me. Per questo per il topping ho pensato di non usare le tradizionali marmellate o gelatine di frutta ma delle mandorle tritate caramellate al miele e arancia, in modo da ottenere un contrasto di consistenza e sapori. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PANNA COTTA&lt;/b&gt; (dose per circa 4 coppette)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;120 ml di latte di mandorla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;5 fogli di colla di pesce da 2 g l’uno (con questa quantità la panna viene molto soda, se la preferita meno compatta diminuite la quantità)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;360 ml di panna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;40 ml di miele&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;½ cucchiaio di zucchero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;un pizzico di sale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Per la guarnizione&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;150 g di mandorle tritate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;50 ml di miele&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Il succo di mezzo limone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Il succo di mezza arancia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Mettere in ammollo i fogli di gelatina in una ciotola di acqua fredda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;Nel frattempo scaldare in una pentola il latte senza farlo bollire. Aggiungere la panna, il miele, lo zucchero e il pizzico di sale. Continuare a scaldare per qualche minuto senza però portare a bollore.

Mangio la verdura solo perché devo e non ho un grande rapporto con la frutta. Anche se negli ultimi tempi, grazie soprattutto al blog, comincio ad apprezzare cibi che prima snobbavo, devo ammettere che biscottini, dolcetti, patatine e porcherie varie mi attraggono ancora in modo irresistibile! Ora che siete a conoscenza della mia situazione mi crederete se vi dico che con questo syllabub sono riuscita ad apprezzare persino lo yogurt greco! Solitamente questo tipo di yogurt è per me poco allettante a causa del suo gusto troppo “amaro”. Ammiro chi riesce a mangiarlo in purezza, ma io proprio non ci riesco.

Risultato: 0 ricette da proporre per il fine settimana! Alla fine però non tutto il male vien per nuocere, visto che mi sono ricordata di questi mini-cakes fatti un po’ di tempo fa e che per una qualche ragione sono stati lasciati da parte. Ve li propongo oggi! A dispetto del colorito non proprio vivace, questi cakes sono fatti con della polvere di tè matcha dal colore verde brillante, che chissà come mai cucinandoli si è perso! Non si è perso invece il suo tipico sapore, che rende queste tortine veramente particolari. Che dire poi della loro consistenza? &amp;nbsp;Soffici soffici e leggere, proprio come delle piccole nuvole! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MINI CHIFFON CAKES AL TE' MATCHA&lt;/b&gt; (da “Il libro del cavolo”di Sigrid Verbert)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;135 g di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;130 g di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;5 albumi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 tuorli&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;100 ml di acqua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;60 ml di olio&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;5 g di matcha in polvere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/2 cucchiaino di lievito per dolci&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/2 cucchiaino di sale &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Setacciare la farina con il tè verde e il lievito per dolci. Aggiungere zucchero e sale e mescolare bene. In una ciotola a parte sbattere con una frusta gli albumi aggiungendoci a filo l’acqua e l’olio. Aggiungere il composto di tuorli alla mistura di farina. Montare a neve gli albumi e aggiungerli delicatamente al resto dell’impasto. Distribuire il composto nelle cocottine, o negli stampini da muffins, e porre in forno preriscaldato a 150°C. Lasciar cuocere per 30-40 minuti, o finchè le tortine non cominceranno a dorarsi in superficie e uno stecchino infilato al centro non esce pulito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Togliere dal forno e lasciar raffreddare. Io le ho servite direttamente nelle cocottine ma se avete usato gli stampi da muffin sformare i cakes aiutandovi con il manico di un cucchiaino. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;P.S. La ricetta originale dello chiffon cake prevede anche una copertura di panna montata. Personalmente non amo molto la panna, quindi ho tralasciato questo passaggio. Se voi invece siete delle panna-addicted e volete aggiungerla, eccovi le dosi:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;20 cl di panna fresca&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/2 cucchiaio di tè matcha in polvere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaio e mezzo di zucchero a velo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Montare la panna montata, aggiungere delicatamente il matcha setacciato insieme allo zucchero a velo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Spalmare la panna sulle tortine e porre in frigo per almeno 30 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-5309621467500769500?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/5309621467500769500/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/02/mini-chiffon-cakes-al-te-matcha.html#comment-form' title='6 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/5309621467500769500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/5309621467500769500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/02/mini-chiffon-cakes-al-te-matcha.html' title='Mini chiffon cakes al tè matcha'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZjwdC9lCgs/TV2QcyznUdI/AAAAAAAAAcg/drwyc7b-2Wc/s72-c/PIC00136_rid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-4027621253645612065</id><published>2011-02-14T09:56:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T17:23:10.561+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='san valentino'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cacao'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='torta'/><title type='text'>Red Velvet Cake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FLG9VSdfTrQ/TVhIlbYFD2I/AAAAAAAAAcY/-tM169L0pPw/s1600/PIC00101_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FLG9VSdfTrQ/TVhIlbYFD2I/AAAAAAAAAcY/-tM169L0pPw/s640/PIC00101_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"&gt;Sarà anche il clichè dei clichè, ma non potevo scegliere occasione migliore per provare la Red Velvet Cake, non trovate?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"&gt;Buon San Valentino!

Di solito ho sia Sabato che la Domenica a disposizione per pasticciare, questo fine settimana invece mi sono ritrovata a dover concentrare tutte le mie attività in cucina nel solo pomeriggio di Domenica. E’ qui che è entrato in campo il mio ragazzo, che si è offerto di darmi una mano (anche se poi sostiene di aver fatto tutto lui, tsè :)!). Così, mentre io mi dedicavo a dei dolcetti nigellosi, che posterò a breve, lui si è occupato di questi crackers speziati. Li avevo visti poco tempo fa sul sito di &lt;a href="http://17andbaking.com/2011/01/16/crackly-crackers/#more-1789"&gt;Elissa&lt;/a&gt; e mi sono subito sembrati una gustosa idea. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Il mio lui si è superato, &amp;nbsp;ha fatto delle sfoglie davvero sottili, stendendo la pasta a mano, e ha poi realizzato quattro diverse varianti: al rosmarino, alla paprika, alla salvia essiccata e alle noci tritate. Devo ammettere che il cuoco è stato proprio bravo, i crackers sono venuti croccanti e saporiti...ma voi non ditegli che ve l’ho detto ;)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUsXq6ZZRJI/AAAAAAAAAcI/yjZaRbjfRDU/s1600/PIC00310_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUsXq6ZZRJI/AAAAAAAAAcI/yjZaRbjfRDU/s400/PIC00310_rid.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CRACKERS SPEZIATI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;150 g di farina integrale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;280 g di farina 00&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;250 ml di acqua tiepida&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;80 ml di olio extra vergine di oliva&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 cucchiaino di sale fino&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;sale grosso &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;spezie a piacere &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mescolare la farina integrale con la farina 00 e il sale fino. Aggiungere l’acqua e iniziare ad impastare per circa 5 minuti, o fino a quando l’impasto non sarà liscio ed elastico. Aggiungere dell’acqua se il composto risulta troppo secco o della farina se invece è troppo appiccicoso. Dividere l’impasto in 12 piccole palline e disporle su una teglia su della carta oleata. Spalmarle per bene con dell’olio d’oliva, coprire con della pellicola, o con un canovaccio pulito, e lasciar riposare a temperatura ambiente per circa 30-60 minuti. &lt;br /&gt;In seguito stendere con un mattarello ogni palla di pasta su una spianatoia cosparsa di farina fino ad ottenere una sfoglia di pochi millimetri di spessore. Trasferire sulla teglia, bucherellare la pasta con i rebbi di una forchetta e ungere la superficie con un po’ d’olio. Cospargere infine con un po’ di sale grosso e le spezie da voi scelte.&lt;br /&gt;Infornare a 230°C per circa 5-10 minuti o finchè i crackers non saranno belli dorati. &lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Togliere dal forno e lasciar raffreddare. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-3043468085899456945?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/3043468085899456945/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/02/crackers-speziati.html#comment-form' title='10 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/3043468085899456945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/3043468085899456945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/02/crackers-speziati.html' title='Crackers speziati'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUsXiMrloaI/AAAAAAAAAcE/PXlMYJbgF3U/s72-c/PIC00343_rid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-1053863646324262573</id><published>2011-01-30T21:31:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T17:24:01.576+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='panna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='caffè'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cannella'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cioccolata'/><title type='text'>Cioccolata messicana home made</title><content type='html'>&lt;m:smallfrac m:val="off"&gt;    &lt;m:dispdef&gt;    &lt;m:lmargin m:val="0"&gt;    &lt;m:rmargin m:val="0"&gt;    &lt;m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"&gt;    &lt;m:wrapindent m:val="1440"&gt;    &lt;m:intlim m:val="subSup"&gt;    &lt;m:narylim m:val="undOvr"&gt;   &lt;/m:narylim&gt;&lt;/m:intlim&gt; &lt;/m:wrapindent&gt;  &lt;/m:defjc&gt;&lt;/m:rmargin&gt;&lt;/m:lmargin&gt;&lt;/m:dispdef&gt;&lt;/m:smallfrac&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUVJMCfC1-I/AAAAAAAAAb4/z-M9yWE132o/s1600/PIC00016_rid2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUVJMCfC1-I/AAAAAAAAAb4/z-M9yWE132o/s640/PIC00016_rid2.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In questi giorni da me le giornate sono così fredde e ventose che non viene assolutamente voglia di mettere fuori il naso da casa!

Allora mi ricordo della cioccolata messicana sbircianta in uno dei libri di Nigella.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ecco, ci siamo, ora la cioccolata è davvero perfetta, una vera coccola golosa!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUVJWG7iqgI/AAAAAAAAAb8/LrpG0uZUO-w/s1600/PIC00021_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUVJWG7iqgI/AAAAAAAAAb8/LrpG0uZUO-w/s640/PIC00021_rid.jpg" width="425" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CIOCCOLATA MESSICANA HOME-MADE&lt;/b&gt; (per 4)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;400 ml di latte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 cucchiai rasi di cacao &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 cucchiai rasi di maizena&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 cucchiai di liquore al caffè&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4 stecche di cannella&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;panna montata&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;zucchero a piacere ( io non ne ho messo, ma voi potete zuccherare la vostra cioccolata quanto più vi piace)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Versare il cacao e la maizena (e lo zucchero, se lo desiderate) in un pentolino. Aggiungere poi il latte poco alla volta, mescolando bene in modo da togliere eventuali grumi. Porre su fuoco moderato e mescolare finchè la cioccolata non comincia ad addensarsi. Aggiungere il liquore al caffè e continuare a mescolare per qualche secondo. Togliere dal fuoco e versare la cioccolata nelle tazzine. Disporre si ogni tazza una stecca di cannella e ultimare con un ciuffo di panna montata. Spolverizzare infine la superficie con della polvere di cacao.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181262135843525358-1053863646324262573?l=muffin81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/feeds/1053863646324262573/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/01/cioccolata-messicana-home-made.html#comment-form' title='9 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/1053863646324262573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181262135843525358/posts/default/1053863646324262573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://muffin81.blogspot.com/2011/01/cioccolata-messicana-home-made.html' title='Cioccolata messicana home made'/><author><name>lo81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09310599456276461232</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/S_azyA19wPI/AAAAAAAAAIA/huDjuw7EUCY/S220/PIC00097_mod.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUVJMCfC1-I/AAAAAAAAAb4/z-M9yWE132o/s72-c/PIC00016_rid2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181262135843525358.post-7605643845869909430</id><published>2011-01-27T09:13:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T17:24:25.960+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cioccolato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daring Kitchen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='torta'/><title type='text'>Daring Bakers' Challenge Gennaio 2011: Biscuit Joconde Imprimè</title><content type='html'>&lt;m:smallfrac m:val="off"&gt;    &lt;m:dispdef&gt;    &lt;m:lmargin m:val="0"&gt;    &lt;m:rmargin m:val="0"&gt;    &lt;m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"&gt;    &lt;m:wrapindent m:val="1440"&gt;    &lt;m:intlim m:val="subSup"&gt;    &lt;m:narylim m:val="undOvr"&gt;   &lt;/m:narylim&gt;&lt;/m:intlim&gt; &lt;/m:wrapindent&gt;  &lt;/m:defjc&gt;&lt;/m:rmargin&gt;&lt;/m:lmargin&gt;&lt;/m:dispdef&gt;&lt;/m:smallfrac&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;(English version below)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUCGOUzoEII/AAAAAAAAAbs/VPJuHAuOSdE/s1600/PIC00157_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUCGOUzoEII/AAAAAAAAAbs/VPJuHAuOSdE/s640/PIC00157_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ve l’ho già detto che adoro le sfide della Daring Bakers? Sì?! Beh, ve lo dico di nuovo, soprattutto in quest’occasione! Sono sicura che se, sfogliando una rivista o un libro di cucina, avessi visto questa torta, sicuramente l’avrei considerata troppo complicata da fare e alla fine avrei voltato pagina…così mi sarei persa un’autentica bontà!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Confesso che quando ho letto per la prima volta la ricetta non sapevo proprio da che parte prendere questo dolce, ma poi rileggendo bene i passaggi, tutto si è rivelato più semplice del previsto!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;La sfida di Gennaio, proposta da &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Astheroshe di &lt;a href="http://astheroshe-accro.blogspot.com/"&gt;accro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;è la Biscuit Joconde Imprimè. In sostanza, una torta rivestita di biscuit, una sorta di pan di spagna molto sottile, farcita con una crema, che può essere una mousse o una bavarese o qualunque cosa si voglia! Il nome&amp;nbsp; imprimè deriva dalla decorazione di questo pan di spagna che è il risultato dell’impiego di due impasti di colore diverso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUCG4DBfQeI/AAAAAAAAAb0/Xv1K5--MlwA/s1600/PIC00388_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUCG4DBfQeI/AAAAAAAAAb0/Xv1K5--MlwA/s400/PIC00388_rid.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Ora, come si noterà, il mio biscuit imprimè non è poi così tanto imprimè…Il fatto è che ho pensato di fare uno strato di impasto al cioccolato che poi ho lavorato con la spatola in modo da creare degli spazi vuoti che si sarebbero dovuti riempire con l’impasto più chiaro, ma col senno di poi forse sarebbe stato meglio mettere l’impasto di cioccolato in una sac a poche e creare così la decorazione, in questo modo il motivo decorativo sarebbe risultato più evidente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Per il ripieno ho optato per due diverse bavaresi: alla base uno strato di bavarese al caffè, sopra, uno strato di bavarese alla vaniglia. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;A completare l’opera, una spolverata di polvere di cacao amaro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUCGsJ_FAlI/AAAAAAAAAbw/8gLpGVSpuaU/s1600/PIC00348_rid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HRKYK8DTazE/TUCGsJ_FAlI/AAAAAAAAAbw/8gLpGVSpuaU/s640/PIC00348_rid.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ci sono vari siti a cui potete fare riferimento.

You should have a nice rectangle shape. Decide how thick you want your “Joconde wrapper”. Traditionally, it is ½ the height of your mold. This is done so more layers of the plated dessert can be shown. However, you can make it the full height. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;Once your height is measured, then you can cut the cake into equal strips, of height and length. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;Make sure your strips are cut cleanly and ends are cut perfectly straight. Press the cake strips inside of the mold, decorative side facing out. Once wrapped inside the mold, overlap your ends slightly. You want your Joconde to fit very tightly pressed up to the sides of the mold. Then gently push and press the ends to meet together to make a seamless cake. The cake is very flexible so you can push it into place. You can use more than one piece to “wrap “your mold, if one cut piece is not long enough. &amp;nbsp;The mold is done, now you can fill the cake with coffee and vanilla Bavarese cream. &amp;nbsp;Put in the fridge for at least 2 hours. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Sprinkle the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and serve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"&gt;Useful links:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lesotlylaisse.over-blog.com/article-realiser-un-biscuit-joconde-imprime-chocolat-en-images-39811263-comments.html"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;http://lesotlylaisse.over-blog.com/article-realiser-un-biscuit-joconde-imprime-chocolat-en-images-39811263-comments.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca4eLDok-4Q" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca4eLDok-4Q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt
