Cream-Puff Day Prep 2015
[Photos from Sunday 7 February 2016, posted online 8 February 2016. It’s a nice day out!]
With cream-puff day (bolludagur) looming, it was time to make cream-puffs! Anna and I made the puffs themselves, while Finnur and Anna did the filling and topping.
We used the following recipe, re-posted from here, and translated to English:
4 dl water
160 g butter
250 g flour
0.25 tsp baking powder (some recipes use salt and no baking powder)
5 eggs if molding with spoons, 6 if squeezing out of a tubePut water and butter in a pot, and bring to a boil, melting all the butter. Meanwhile, mix together flour and baking powder. When the water and butter start boiling, remove from heat, and mix in the flour and baking powder. Stir vigorously with a spatula until the dough is smooth and consistent, and does not stick to the pot.
COOL the dough well, you don’t want to cook the eggs when you put them in! Put one egg in at a time, stirring it well into the dough. The end result should hold its shape pretty well. If it’s liquidy, you’re probably in trouble.
Mold with two spoons and put on a baking plate. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 210°C (200°C if using blow). Do not open the oven until the puffs are almost done, or they may deflate.
So, with that out of the way, here are some photos! (12 photos total)
Stroganoff í sinnepssósu
Umsögn Fann þetta á netinu. Kom á óvart. Líklega ekki einskorðað við Stroganoff – örugglega hægt að gera þetta með gúllasbitum/stirfry kjöti líka. Innihald 700 gr. Stroganoff salt og pipar 3 msk smjör 2 msk hveiti 2 bollar nautakraftur (2 bollar sjóðandi vatn + 2 kjötteningar) 2 msk Dijon sinnep 1/4 bolli sýrður rjómi 1Read more
Hunangs-sinneps kjúklingabitar í brauðraspi
Umsögn Einfalt í innkaupum og undirbúningi. Vinsælt hjá stórum sem smáum. Innihald 2 kjúklingabringur (þiðnar) sinnep (t.d. Dijon eða venjulegt) hunang brauðraspur salt og pipar ólífuolía (kannski hafa með einhverja sterka chili-sósu eða e-ð slíkt) Aðferð Hitið ofninn í 200 gr. celsius (400F). Skerið bringurnar í þunna strimla (á stærð við litlafingur eða svo) ogRead more
Picnic lambakjötbollur
Umsögn Venjulega höfum við búið til kjötbollur úr nautakjöti en við rákumst á þessa uppskrift í einni bókinni okkar og myndin leit svo girnilega út… 🙂 Innihald 250gr lambahakk 4 hvítlauksgeirar (við sleppum þessu yfirleitt) 1/4 tsk þurrkað tarragon 1/3 bolli brauðraspur (heilhveiti ef hægt er) 1 stór eggjarauða eða eggjahvíta (ég notaði bara heiltRead more
BBQ Svínarif
Umsögn Þessi réttur er mjög einfaldur í framleiðslu og mjög lítil þrif eftir matseldina. Gallinn er bara að uppskriftin miðast við suðu í hægsuðupotti í 3,5 til 6 klukkustundir. 🙂 Innihald 2 kg svínarif (country ribs) á beini (eða beinlaus) 1 lítill laukur fínt saxaður (1/2 bolli) 1/2 bolli tómatsósa 1/2 bolli “cider” edik (notaRead more
Rautt kjúklingapasta
Umsögn Einn af hversdags réttunum á þessu heimili – sá réttur sem Hrefna býr hvað oftast til þessa dagana, einfaldur og góður réttur. Innihald 2 heil kjúklingalæri (og kannski 1-2 kjúklinga drumstick líka ef vill) 1 rauð paprika 2 gulrætur 1 laukur 1 stór dós af “crushed” tómötum kjúklingasoð (má nota vatn í staðinn, enRead more
Kjúklinga Alfredo Pasta Finns með sólþurrkuðum tómötum
Umsögn Þetta er ein helsta uppáhalds pasta uppskrift fjölskyldunnar, ostafyllt pasta í rjómalagaðri Alfredo sósu með steiktum kjúklingabitum og sólþurrkuðum tómötum – nammi! 🙂 Flest allt í þessum rétt ætti að vera hægt að finna á hverju heimili (eða hjá nágrönnum) 🙂 – sólþurrkaðir tómatar eru kannski undantekning en þeim má sleppa þó mér finnistRead more
Grillaður lax með dilli og appelsínum
Umsögn Einfaldur og þægilegur hversdagsmatur – ef maður hefur aðgang að bæði grilli, dilli og lax (villtum ef ekki íslenskur). Dill er í miklu uppáhaldi hjá bæði Önnu og Hrefnu og því valdi ég þessa uppskrift til að prófa eitthvað nýtt. Uppskriftin er fyrir heilan lax en ég notaði reyndar bara nokkrar sneiðar og reyndiRead more
Brauðmola-dumpling í laxasoði
Umsögn Í efnahags-niðursveiflum er alltaf gott að rifja upp gömul húsráð og læra að nýta leyfar betur. Þessi uppskrift er endurgerð eftir minni af súpu sem Frau Wendel bjó til þegar hún kom í heimsókn til Íslands um árið og borðaði með fjölskyldunni í Byggðarendanum. Við suðum íslenskan lax fyrir þau og eftir matinn þvertókRead more
Krabbakökur
Umsögn Fjölskyldufaðirinn er þekktur fyrir ást sína á skelfiski og því eru krabbakökur í miklu uppáhaldi. 🙂 Sumum fjölskyldumeðlimum þykir þó þetta kannksi helst til einhæft sem aðalréttur og því má vera að þetta sé betra sem forréttur. 🙂 Innihald 250 grömm krabbakjöt (ég hef notað imitation crab, kom ágætlega út) 1 egg 3 mskRead more
