Cooking

The puff pastry you can buy - it will need 500 g. But I saw in the Internet dough recipe, which I was interested, and decided to do it. I really like the process of making puff pastry. Although it takes time, but a lot of cases it is possible to alter until the dough is "resting". Okay, down to business. The egg produced in the glass and stir. Add the vodka and pour in enough water to total liquid volume was 250 ml.

Pour everything into a bowl, add vinegar and stir. Then add salt and stir to dissolve the salt. Gradually add flour (may need less/more flour) and knead a uniform dough. Then we put it on the table and knead for 5-7 minutes. The dough should be easy to keep up with the hands and touch to resemble soft wax. Several times beats the finished dough on the table, wrap it in cling film and leave at room temperature for a time from 30 minutes to two hours. The weight of the dough - about 630.

Chilled butter, cut into cubes, put in a food processor, add 50 g of flour and all grind into crumbs. Or use a knife. The resulting lump spread on parchment.

Cover top with another sheet of parchment, roll the butter into a thin layer. The dough and oil the cake put into the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

Now roll out the chilled dough to a 25x30 cm and a thickness of 5-7 mm. On the dough put the butter cake so that the oil blanket 2/3 of the test and did not reach the edges 1-1,5 cm

The free part of the dough, put on the oil side and zasiyaet region.

Then cover with the second half also zasiyaet region. Remove the dough in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.

Take out the dough from the refrigerator and proceed to the first rolling. Put the dough short side facing you, begin slowly, but quickly and carefully, roll it from the center to the edges and back.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm.

Then turn the dough with the broad side facing you and wrap up the left edge.

The right edge of the wrap on the left and we get a triple summation test.

Tassel sweep away the dough with the flour and immediately begin the second training. Roll out to a thickness of 8 mm.

Fold the dough triple addition, sweep away the flour and remove the dough in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.

Such rolling process repeated two more times (just do four rolling), each time rolling the dough to a thickness of 7-8 mm. If the room is too hot then the dough need to put in the refrigerator after each workout. But if the dough is not heated and stays cold, then you can roll it twice in a row. The finished dough put into the fridge.

Now let's prepare the filling: boil hard boiled eggs.

Stale bread or biscuits, fill with cream/milk and leave to swell.

And now for the fish. This procedure is not fast, so it can be performed immediately after kneading. Fish(I took capelin) my, cut off the tail, remove intestines, films and fins (except for those near the head). Then remove the backbone.

Mash the soaked bread with a fork, add the finely chopped eggs and herbs, lemon zest, smoked bacon, and salt and pepper to taste.

Divide the dough in half (leave a little for decoration), one part put into the form.

Now spread a few fish tails to the center. The remaining fish cut off the head and put them between the fish heads.

On top of the fish put the filling.

Cover with a second layer of dough and semipaved on the edge so that the fish head was out and was pointing up.

Make decorations from the remaining dough and put them on the cake.

Bake in preheated to 200-220 degrees oven for 30-40 minutes.

This cake is baked in England on the 23rd of December is the day when the season ends fishing. Perhaps, in this regard, the poor fish turn to the stars with gratitude that the fears which they had suffered in the fishing season ended...

The cake was "invented" in a small fishing village in West Cornwall - the Rat hole. A long time ago, a winter storm, which lasted several days, prevented fishermen to catch fish. However, in a lull, the fishermen managed to catch some fish, who saved the villagers from starvation. Caught fish and was baked this kind of cake.

The British believe the recipe for this the worst recipe of all time, despite a melodramatic story of the creation of this pie. That's the kind of information I was able to extract from Internet. Not enough, but the point is clear.

I liked the cake - delicious and satisfying.

Bon appetit!
