1124. Relaxation activities (5/5)
After hearing this, Lao Wang was depressed and said, "Then why did you let me shake it with your hands?"
Eva blinked at him and smiled brightly, "Because I'm teaching you how to extract butter manually."
Finally, I used a kitchen centrifuge, put the cream in two minutes, opened the machine and took out the container, and the top layer was fine butter.
There were some snow-white thick milky substances below. Wang Bo was about to pour it out, but Eva stopped him and said, "Why throw it away? This is skim milk, leave it to dip it in bread."
As she said that, she collected the lotion and took out another butter cloth to wrap it up.
After wrapping, she dug some ice cubes from the refrigerator to make a large bowl of ice water, and then soaked the butter in the ice water.
She introduced: "The purpose of this process is to purify butter and further separate the remaining cream from the solid butter so that the final butter will be stronger."
Wang Bo smiled bitterly and said, "Why is it so troublesome? I saw that there was butter in the refrigerator, so I just used it in the refrigerator, okay?"
Eva kissed him and chuckled charmingly, "I'm a little patient. You're not so anxious when I'm in bed. Come on, you have to learn how to extract cream, right?"
He pretended to be shy: "No, don't say it so ambiguously. I must blush and avoid it when I hear this."
The two of them joked easily, and the ice water turned milky white, so that they could be poured out, replaced with clean ice water, and repeated the process.
"It's time to be soaked in ice water and it won't turn white anymore. The butter extracted in this way is more delicate." Eva explained to him.
After rinsing it over and over several times, the ice water finally began to remain clear. Wang Bo opened the bag and poured out the delicate and thick butter inside, and then threw the bag and threw it away.
Eva shook her head and said, "You are so wasteful. This bag can be reused."
The butter presented in this way was pure enough. Eva took out a condiment box with salt, vanilla, rosemary and other seasonings.
"If you want to make the butter a little salty, then add some salt, you know, butter without salt is very sweet." Eva divided the butter into several portions for him to season.
Wang Bo asked: "What else can I add? I remember the butter you made has many flavors."
Eva smiled slightly and said, "Of course, you can add whatever you want, chives, oranges, lemon or lime zest, rosemary or thyme, or even garlic or ginger."
Finally, there is another process, which is to press butter into the mold and make it into various shapes.
There are several molds in the kitchen, including small animal shapes, bird shapes, stars and spherical shapes, etc.
These butter molds not only shape the butter into a delicate shape, but also divide the butter into small portions, which makes it much easier to taste.
After the butter was made, Eva left two cups and put the rest in the refrigerator.
The butter they make is soft and warm, but New Zealanders are used to eating butter that solidifies and is a little cool, so they should be put in the refrigerator for a freezer.
Wang Bo scratched his head and said with relief: "It's finally over. My God, extracting butter is more troublesome than making boiled meat."
Eva smiled and said, "Don't be so unwilling. My chef, come, let's bake pastries. This is easier and more fun than extracting cream because it's edible."
She went to prepare flour, eggs, corn starch and other materials. Wang Bo took out the tools and it was an eight-inch round solid foundation mold.
Before baking the cake, you need to apply butter on the mold. Wang Bo picked up the butter and found that a layer of water droplets appeared on the surface.
"What's going on?" he asked.
Eva looked at it and said, "Small problem, butter is very easy to get out of water because the oil is insoluble in water. Do you know? This problem is either because it is improper soaked in ice water or because the salt and butter are not mixed evenly, so you can stir it for a while."
Lao Wang then stirred patiently, and at this time there was more water. After pouring it out, the butter did not come out again.
This way, he applied a light layer of butter under the mold, and Eva cut a long aluminum foil. She first spread it horizontally on the bottom of the mold, and said, "Actually, if it is safer, you should cut two pieces and spread them across them."
"Then why did you cut one?"
Eva giggled, "Because I'm lazy."
Put aluminum foil paper on to facilitate the mold removal after the cake is baked. Then use baking oil paper to cut out eight-inch round shapes and a circle of strips slightly higher than the height of the baking mold, and then spread them into the mold. The purpose is natural.
Eva has opened the eggs and separated the egg whites and yolks.
Then, the ingredients were made, including white sugar, milk, heated melted butter, and stirred egg whites. Wang Bo squeezed fresh lemon juice and smashed the egg yolks.
Baking a cake is actually not easy. It can be baked by mixing these ingredients and flour together.
First, use an electric egg whisk to beat the foam, then add lemon juice and fine sugar, and continue to beat the egg whisk to a delicate level.
At this time, you should add some fine sugar and continue to beat until the meringue can form a small hook, so that you can mix with the egg yolk and batter.
After putting a small portion of the meringue into the batter and egg yolks and mixing them well, Eva shook the shock tool and said, "There are bubbles inside. If the bubbles are not spread out now, firecrackers will be set up in the oven later."
Everything is ready. After putting the baking tray in the oven, adjust the temperature to 140 degrees Celsius and start baking.
Soon, a unique sweet smell of pastry spread.
The little loli and the young president walked out yawning and said, "I'm so hungry, sister, why are you having dinner so late today?"
Eva laughed and said, "It's still some time before lunch?"
The little loli said, "No, I mean breakfast."
Eva spread her hands and said, "Oh, sorry dear, breakfast is over. Don't look at me with such eyes. Who made you wake up so late?"
The little loli shouted unwillingly: "This is the weekend, I can stay in bed, this is what you said."
Eva giggled, "I mean, you can do it when I stay in bed, I'm sorry, I don't plan to stay in bed this weekend."
The queen and princess waving their tails and ran over, looking at the oven, smelling the fragrance and drooling.
Xiao Meng also flew in, threw down a rabbit and fell on Wang Bo's shoulder, making a few gurgling sounds.
The strong man didn't eat breakfast either. Wang Bo dug a pot of dog food for it. It slapped it away, looked at the oven with his eyes, and licked his tongue quickly in his mouth, waiting to eat the baked cake.
