Lemon Tart

Ingredients:

Sweet shortcrust pastry

* 200g (7oz) plain flour, sifted
* 1 tbs icing sugar
* 100g (31/2oz) chilled butter, cubed
* 1/2–1 medium egg, beaten

Filling

* 2 passion fruit
* 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk
* Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
* 125g (41/2oz) caster sugar
* 150ml (1/4 pint) double cream
* Juice of 3 lemons and 1 orange
* Icing sugar, for dusting

Method
Sweet shortcrust pastry

1. Place the flour, sugar and butter in a food processor and whiz briefly. Add half the beaten egg and continue to whiz. You might add a little more egg, but not too much as the mixture should be just moist enough to come together. If making by hand, rub the butter into the flour (1) until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs (2) then, using your hands, add just enough egg to bring it together (3). With your hands, flatten out the ball of dough until it is about 2cm (3/4in) thick (4), then wrap in cling film or place in a plastic bag (5) and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or, if you are pushed for time, in the freezer for 10–15 minutes.

Filling

1. Make the pastry as described below, leaving to chill for 30 minutes before using.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas mark 4. Line a 23cm (9in) tart tin and bake ‘blind’.
3. For the filling, cut the passion fruit in half and, using a teaspoon, scoop out the pulp from the centre and push through a sieve, reserving the seeds in the sieve for later.
4. Place the eggs, egg yolk, lemon zest and sugar in a bowl and whisk for a couple of minutes until the egg is all broken up.
5. Add the cream, lemon and orange juice and the strained juice from the two passion fruit. Mix well, skimming off any froth from the top of the mixture.
6. Carefully pour the filling into the cooked pastry case so it does not spill (sometimes I pour in the filling when it is sitting on a rack in the oven to avoid spilling it).
7. Clean about ten of the passion fruit seeds by removing them from the membrane that surrounds them and put to one side.
8. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (325ºF), Gas mark 3 and bake for 20 minutes, then place the passion fruit seeds on top. Bake for another 5–15 minutes or until the filling has just set in the centre – it should only wobble very slightly when you take it out of the oven.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before removing the tart from the tin and transferring to a plate or cake stand. When it is cool, dredge a little icing sugar over the top and cut into slices to serve.

Croissant


* Resepi croissant yang tidak menggunakan pastry margarine... namun menghasilkan croissant yang cantik


MILK - cold 48 oz..
YEAST 4 oz.
BREAD FLOUR 5 #
SALT 2.25 oz.
SUGAR 6 oz.
BUTTER - softened 8 oz.
BUTTER 3 #
BREAD FLOUR 3 oz.

Yields: 120 Croissants weighing 1.75 oz. each.

METHOD:

1. DOUGH (detrempe): Mix the first 6 ingredients together - "Straight Dough Mixing Method". Mix on low speed for " 5 minutes" until a smooth loose dough is formed - do not overwork the dough! Allow to rise for 30 minutes. Then pin-out the dough out into the size of a sheetpan. Then place the dough onto a parchment lined and lightly floured sheetpan, and retard for 30 minutes.

2. BUTTER BLOCK (beurrage): Combine the remaining butter and flour, and knead until pliable and lump free. Spread evenly over 2/3 of a parchment lined sheet pan. Place in the refrigerate for 10 minutes.

3. When the butter and dough have reached the same consistency, place the dough on your work table, brush-off any excess flour, and cover 1/2 of the dough evenly with the butter.

4. Fold the other half of the dough over to cover the butter, seal the edges well. You have completed the LOCK-IN. Turn 90 degrees.

5. Roll out to 3x the width of a sheet pan, and as long. Complete the 1 3-FOLD. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

6. Complete the 2 3-FOLD, refrigerate 30 minutes, and the final 3 3-FOLD (total of 81 layers). Wrap tightly and refrigerate. Use the 2nd day.

GUIDELINES:

1. Pan 20 croissants per sheet pan. Reverse the last row of croissants to prevent the tips from over-browning!

2. French egg wash (equal parts yolks and cream) - before and after proofing.

3. Proof until doubled in size. When the sheet pan is shaken, the croissants should jiggle.

4. Bake @ 425 F.
