Laminated Doughs

Mil hojas con Cajeta de Leche ~ masas hojaldradas ( #laminated #dough ). For this featured bake, I used a store bought puff dough variety ...

Also featured are barquillos con crema, dressed with chocolate ganache and toasted sliced almonds. The Barquillos, also referred to as cream cones in the U.S. 🇺🇸 or cornets de crème in France 🇫🇷, are filled with a simple stovetop custard. Recipe for this cream filling is below👇🏾

Crema Pastelera

• Whole milk - 1 L

• Granulated Sugar - 180 g

• Corn Starch - 100 g

• Vanilla Bean - 1 split or 3 tsp vanilla extract

• Egg Yolks - 7

Directions

1. Heat milk, vanilla bean or extract and half the sugar in a pot

2. In a separate bowl, using a wire whisk, mix the egg yolks until white in color

3. Carefully add corn starch and continue mixing

4. Add egg yolk mixture and rest of the sugar to heated milk in increments

5. Continue to mix using a whisk until it coats the back of a spoon

6. Remove from heat and pour into a sheet pan

7. Strain to remove vanilla beans and any clumps

8. Cover with plastic wrap

9. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before using

The crema pastelera can also be folded into a whipped topping at even portions, and used a stable cream filling for different types of finished pastries. Today, we used the crema pastelera to fill a heart shaped puff dough tart, then topped with berries.

Also featured, are lattice strudel strips filled with crema pastelera and raspberries. These are brushed with egg wash before bake, then dusted with confectioners sugar once cooled.

The last puff dough figure showcased is one of my favorites. Sombreros or cinnamon crisps are rolled into a log, just like you would a cinnamon roll. Only these are filled with cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon roll log is then divided into medallions, cutting them evenly for a consistent finish. The medallions are carefully flattened and rolled into thin discs using more granulated sugar. The discs are baked at a high temperature and then inverted towards the end of the bake. They are placed back in the oven to continue with caramelization. Once cooled the flaky puff pastry and caramelized cinnamon sugar create the perfect texture and flavor.

Thank you Mindy Schleger of “Party of Friends”, I had such a wonderful time showcasing these to our baking group.

Happy Sunday everyone ✨
