.RZ "PALMIERS" "Elephant ears"
Making feuilletage (the basic puff pastry) for Palmiers (elephant ears) is
hard work! I have not made palmiers specifically but have made other
feuilletage pastries.
.PP
This recipe is from "Mastering the Art of French Pastry" by Bruce Healy and
Paul Bugat (excellent book!)
.IH
.SH Feuilletage:
.IG "5 cups" "flour" "600 g"
.IG "1 Tbsp" "salt"
.IG "2 tsp" "vinegar"
.IG "1 cup/2 Tbsp" "cold water"
.IG "2 oz" "melted butter" "50 g"
.IG "1 lb" "cool butter" "450 g"
(sweet, of course)
.SH "Additional ingredients for Palmiers:"
.IG "~1.5 cups" "sugar" "~300 g"
.IG "1" "egg,"
lightly beaten
.PH "To make one 'paton' of 'feuilletage':"
.SK 1
Reserve
.AB "\(14 cup" "25 g"
flour. Put the rest in a mound on the countertop and make
a well in the center. Dissolve salt and vinegar in
.AB "\(34 cup" "170 ml"
water and pour
it, and the melted butter, into the well.
.SK 2
Gradually stir the flour from the mound into the well. This makes at first
a paste; then it gets crumbly. As it gets crumbly, add the remaining
water alternately with the flour.
.SK 3
Gather dough into a ball and continue mixing by the 'fraisage' technique:
smear a little at a time across the counter, then re-gather into a ball.
Repeat until the dough holds together in a smooth, homogeneous mass. You
can add water or flour if necessary to keep consistency not too dry or
sticky.
.SK 4
This is the 'detrempe' (an accent over the first e). Form it into a ball,
dust it with flour, and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30
minutes to relax the gluten.
.SK 5
Meanwhile, take the butter and soften it by the fraisage technique (don't
allow it to melt!) Work in the reserved flour by fraisage until smooth.
Form into pad about
.AB "4.5 inches" "11.5 cm"
square,
.AB "1.5 inches" "4 cm"
thick and dust with flour.
It should be as firm as the detrempe -- if it's too soft, stick it in
refrigerater for a while.
.SK 6
Dust counter with flour and place the ball of detrempe on it. Use the
heel of your hand to press out 4 corners from the ball, so you have a
square with a mound in the center. Use a rolling pin to form this into a
12 inch square with a 5 inch square cushion of thick dough in the center.
The cushion is oriented on the diagonal with respect to the larger square:

.fi
Put the pad of butter on the cushion and flatten it a bit. Fold one set
of opposite corners of dough across the pad, overlapping, then the other
set of opposite corners. The detrempe now encloses the butter like an
envelope. Flatten a little with a rolling pin to about a
.AB "6.5 inch" "16.5 cm"
square,
dust with flour, and put in refrigerator for 30 minutes. This is the
'paton'. (A paton of feuilletage, to be precise.)
.SK 7
Roll out the paton perpendicular to the last envelope fold, into a
rectangle about 3 times original length. Fold it in 3 like a letter. This
is the first turn ('tourage'). (You may have to repair the detrempe where
butter breaks through, occasionally). Rotate the paton 90 degrees and
repeat. Dust with flour and rest the paton in the refrigerator for 30
minutes.
.SK 8
Give the paton two more turns. Dust with flour and allow to rest in
refrigerator at least 2 hours (overnight is better). You can freeze it at
this point -- if you do, defrost in fridge before use (don't microwave it,
or you'll melt the butter!)
.PH "To make the Palmiers:"
.SK 9
Dust your countertop and the paton of feuilletage with \fBsugar\fR (not
flour) and give it two more turns, dusting with sugar between turns. Let
paton rest 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
.SK 10
Dust your countertop and the paton with sugar, and roll the paton out to
a rectangle a little bigger than
.AB "12x16 inches" "30x40 cm" .
Trim edges, then fold the
short edges a little less than halfway to the center. Brush the center
strip with beaten egg, then fold the edges again so that they meet in the
center. Brush one side with egg, and fold in half along center line.
Dust with sugar and roll gently with rolling pin to seal and flatten. You
now have a band of dough. Cut
.AB ".5 inch" "1 cm"
slices and place cut-side-up on a
baking sheet, 3 inches apart. Let rest in refrigerator 30-40 minutes.
.SK 11
Meanwhile, preheat oven to
.TE 425 220 .
Put the Palmiers into the oven and reduce
heat to
.TE 400 200 .
Bake 10-15 minutes, until bottoms are a light caramel color.
Turn the cookies over and reduce heat to
.TE 350 180
for 10-20 minutes longer,
until pastries are an even caramel color.
.NX
Whew! It is a lot of effort, but feuilletage pastries are beautiful
and delicious.

.RZ "BEEF AND DAHL CURRY"
.KY INDIAN BEEF
I recently tried an experiment with beef and chana dahl (sorry I don't know
the English word for chana dahl, not garbanzo beans, but it is a yellow dahl,
quite spherical, and usually split) as every time I ate chana dahl I felt it
would be better with meat.

.PH
.SK 1
Wash dahl and let soak for 2 or more hours in
.AB "3 cups" "2/3 l"
water.
.SK 2
Heat oil in a pot, when hot add red chilis and mustard seed. When seeds
pop, add onion, lower heat & cover for 5 minutes.
.SK 3
Raise heat, stirring, until onions start to brown. Add garlic,ginger, stir
for 2 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, and meat. Heat for 5 minutes,
stirring.
.SK 4
Add
.AB ".5 cup" "110 ml"
water,
.AB "1 cup" "225 ml"
milk, tomato paste and salt to taste (1 tsp?).
(At this point if you were to let it cook for an hour you would get a
pretty good beef curry). Bring to boil, lower heat, cover for 15 minutes.
.SK 5
Add dahl and simmer for another 45 minutes. Toward the end you should add
water or raise heat, to get the correct water content, i.e. have the sauce
just at the same level as the dahl.
.NX
Tastes good on the first day, even better on the 2nd. Eat with rice or
tortillas. Good with Patak's Prawn Balichow too, although they don't pay me
for saying that.

.SK 2
Preheat oven to
.TE 350 180 .
.SK 3
In a large bowl combine eggs and sugar. Stir for a minute, or until they
are just combined. Set bowl over a saucepan containing
.AB "1-2 inches" "3-5 cm"
of
hot water. Water in pan should not touch bowl; nor should it be allowed
to boil. Place saucepan containing bowl over low heat for 5-10 minutes,
or until the eggs are lukewarm. Stir 3 or 4 times to prevent them from
cooking at the bottom of the bowl.
.SK 4
When eggs feel lukewarm to your finger and look like bright yellow syrup,
remove bowl from heat. Begin to beat at high speed for 10-15 minutes,
scrapping with a rubber spatula when necessary, until syrup becomes light,
fluffy, and cool (it will almost triple in volume and look much like
whipped cream).
.SK 5
Sprinkle flour, a little at a time, on top of whipped eggs. Fold in
gently, adding slightly cooled, clarified butter and vanilla. Folding can
be done with electric mixer turned to lowest speed, or by hand. BE
CAREFUL NOT OVERMIX.
.SK 6
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven 25-30 minutes,
or until cakes pull away from sides of pan and are golden brown and
springy when touched on top.
