Cooking
For such a pie - if you can call it that - requires special forms, such as in the photo. They are called Kransekake tins or pans. Anticipating the question, where to buy them: if you live in England, I got them in Lakeland; if in Europe or America, I saw them on Amazon. If Russia, then, frankly, I don't know. But this delicacy can be baked and without form. Just draw on the parchment circles, starting with the diameter of 18 cm, each subsequent circle 0.5 cm smaller than the previous one. The dough will be very thick, like cookies, on the baking sheet it is unlikely to spread. The only thing that makes a cookie convex on both sides. If the oven on the baking sheet, one side will be flat, but it will only affect the height of the final product.
So, we begin to prepare the dough. Tap with a fork or whisk 4 protein. Do not beat until the peaks, but just before light foam.
Mix 450 g of Mar. dust with almond flour and baking powder. Mix with proteins. The dough will be thick, similar to dumplings.
Take the bowl with the dough and put in a water bath (water should already be boiling). Stirring constantly with a spatula, heated to about 40C (temperature of melted chocolate). Then let cool, cover with film and put in refrigerator overnight.
The next day is torn off from the dough pieces and roll out into sausages the thickness of a little finger. Since little fingers is all different :-), guided by about 1 cm wide.
Put our sausages in shape. Or pre-drawn circles.
And vypekaem at 200C for about 15-20 minutes until Browning. But then, as usual, be guided by your oven. An indication that the cookies were baked, is how easily they are out of shape (or behind the sheet). If you stick to the bottom or break, they are not yet ready, send them back to dodecane.
Let cool all the rings. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. This is a normal Royal icing. Mix 150 g of Mar. powder (about 1 and 1\3 Cup), 1 egg white and 1 tsp lemon juice. The icing should be quite thick. I made watery and I have a little "drip" when it became her cause. If you think that the liquid, add more powdered sugar. Put the frosting in a plastic bag, cut a tiny hole (1-1.5 mm). And begin to collect our "construction". On the big ring wavelike pattern (just about, as a drawing of a tiled roof on a gingerbread house), apply the glaze. Put the top ring a little smaller.
And so to the end. Decorate as you like. I'm stuck on top of something like a star, and on the sides to stick the candy M&M, like Christmas decorations, but you can stick and snowflakes and flowers depending on the occasion.
The taste of pechenyak bright almond, the structure of a liquid (for English speak chewy, and the dictionary has no translation to this word). To focus on one ring is impossible - I want to break another one. And then another one... :-) anyway, help yourself!
