Cooking

step-0
Just say why I have included the recipe under the heading of "meatless" and "vegetarian" food. As a rule, purchase the puff pastry is cooked in margarine, without the addition of eggs. Information about the composition can be read on the package with the test. The butter in the filling I added the nuts and the dough have a large amount of fat. Yolk products can not be lubricated. I took those nuts that I got were: pistachio, almond, hazelnut and walnut. You can take any mixture to your taste or to cook with any kind of nuts. I had 200 g of nuts, this is more than enough for a 400-gram pack of the test. A less - 120-150 g. Then the cakes will have more air, because all the nuts poddavlivat the dough when baking. But I love nuts, so I take more.
step-1
Grind nuts in a blender or them through a meat grinder. A couple of tablespoons set aside for decoration.
step-2
Now for the test. Pre-defrost it according to instructions. Usually in the package there are 2 square layer of dough.
step-3
Each square roll out or stretch with hands into a rectangle with sides 2 times more than the square.
step-4
Cut on 2 parts. They do the same with the second layer of dough. Thus we must have 4 squares of dough.
step-5
Preheat the oven to 190 ° C. Take one of your squares, place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and distribute it to one third of the ground nuts. Cover with a second square and repeat with the nuts.
step-6
The last layer of dough grease with a yolk (optional)
step-7
Carefully cut into squares, diamonds, rectangles - whichever you prefer. You can make cuts on the top layer of dough, and then finally slitting the puffs after baking.
step-8
Bake puffs for 15 minutes at 190*C to a good Browning. Cut into portions, if not cut before baking.
step-9
While puffs bake, prepare the syrup for impregnation. For the preparation of Oriental sweets often use honey, but honey when heated, loses its beneficial properties and becomes harmful. Therefore, I recommend flavored cane sugar Mistral. Take equal amount of sugar and water (by volume), a cinnamon stick, a few cardamom pods and half a vanilla bean, you can already cleaned out. If you do not have spices, add a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zest. But with spices, of course, you get much more fragrant sweetness.
step-10
In a saucepan under a lid boil the syrup a few minutes and leave to infuse, keeping the syrup warm. Before pouring the dessert filter it.
step-11
Ready hot puffs generously pour the syrup. Syrup pour on top and around the top layer and slits. Wait until the puffs to cool and syrup is absorbed. Decorate the dessert ground nuts. In the meantime, put kopanice...
