Tantangan KBB yang ke 29 ini buat aku bisa mencetak rekor terlama dalam pengerjaannya *lebay euyy.* Untuk bikin seperempat resep Eccles cake diperlukan waktu 6 hari ...hehe. Kebetulan emang pas minggu-minggu ini lagi hectic banget, sampe nyaris drop klo badan ga diistirahatkan.
Maju mundur sebenarnya pas awal mau ngerjain, secara lagi pengen diet *hohoho* dan stop baking dulu. Tapi flakiness dari bakpia bule ini seolah-olah memanggilku untuk menaklukannya. Tentu saja itu alasan kedua setelah komitmen *jiaaaah.*
Untuk bikin tantangan ini baca resepnya aja rasanya lamaaa dan panjaaang, itu juga masih dilanjut browsing2 untuk memperjelas cara pembuatannya. Puyeng-puyeng akhirnya untuk pastrynya aku bikin sama ama cara dari tantangan KBB sebelumnya disini. Resepnya sih tetep pake pastry eccles cake. Untuk laminating butternya pun aku pake model amplop cuman karena kamera yang mau kupake entah dimana jadi tidak ada fotonya.
Langsung saja hyuuuk mareee.....
Makes about 50 smallish cakes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons brandy (kuganti jus lemon)
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter
4 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 to 1/2 cups ice water
2. Arrange them into a rectangle on a large piece of wax paper.
3. Put another piece of wax paper on top and roll them the butter out into a 9×12-inch rectangle between the sheets of waxed paper.
4. Chill for at least four hours.
6. Cut up the remaining stick of butter and add it, bit by bit, to the flour and pulse into dusty crumbs.
7. Dump the butter-flour crumbs into a big bowl and add ice water gradually, stirring, just until the dough comes together.
8. Knead for a couple minutes until smooth.
9. Wrap and refrigerate four hours or overnight.
11. Fold the corners of the dough over the butter and roll out to its previous size.
13. You’re working the butter into the dough in finer and finer layers; the butter if it stays cold will puff the pastry up in delicious and spectacular ways when you’re finished.
14. Wrap this parcel well and put back in the fridge for at least an hour or two.
16. This is working the butter into the pastry in finer and finer layers.
17. Continue this process – rolling out, then folding. These are called turns.
18. Do at least four turns – six or more is even better
