Hello dear readers, thank you for visiting my channel!
Today we will talk about one of my favorite desserts - Lemongrass. And yes, it's a dessert for this, not a cake. This is because I roll out the dough very thinly, and I put a lot of fillings and, despite this, the bottom crust is never wet. There is one secret that I will share with you today. In addition, my filling never tastes bitter thanks to the correct processing of the lemon.
So, let's start with the test: 2 cups flour, 250 grams of butter, 200 grams of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Mix everything well and get a very soft elastic dough.
Now it’s the turn of the lemons.
In order for the lemons not to taste bitter in the filling, they must be washed well and lowered literally for 1 minute into boiling water. Next, we take the lemons out of the water and let them cool for a couple of minutes, then cut into small pieces. It is important to get rid of all the seeds, because they also add bitterness to the filling.
Now we send the sliced lemons to a blender and grind them into a homogeneous mass.
Then add sugar and starch to the resulting mass, mix well. For two lemons, I put about 100 grams of sugar and 1
a tablespoon of starch. Now we put the filling aside and do the dough.
I use my ugly old, but such a handy silicone baking dish. I spread the dough on the bottom and sides of the mold and cut off the excess. And now that "trick" that allows the lower crust of Lemongrass not to get wet from the filling.
I sprinkle the bottom with nut crumbs, today I have almonds. Nut crumb absorbs moisture and gives an additional flavor note to our dessert.
I spread the lemon filling on top and level it.
Cover the top with a thin layer of dough and pinch the edges. I make punctures with a fork and send them to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes.
Then I let Lemongrass cool well and take it out of the mold. I pour myself a large mug of hot tea and enjoy the lemon dessert without remorse, which I recommend you do on this cold February evening.
