Napoleon De Banano Y Mango Hojaldre Recipes

HOJALDRE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
• Make a well in the middle and add the oil and a little water.
• Knead, adding the rest of the water little by little.
• Let the dough sit overnight in the refrigerator.
• When you are ready to make the hojaldres, heat a pan with the oil for frying over medium-high heat.
• To form the hojaldres, take a golf ball size of dough and stretch it by hand until it is roughly 6 inches in diameter. Drop the stretched dough into the hot oil and fry until it is golden brown, turning once. The dough will puff up and parts of the hojaldre will be crispy and parts will be bready.

Steps:

• CUSTARD CREAM:.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, salt, and half of the granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the flour.
• In a small saucepan, combine the milk, rum and the remaining sugar. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the split pod into the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
• Slowly pour half of the hot mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly so the eggs don't cook.
• Reduce the heat to medium and pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the cream comes to a boil and thickens, about 1 or 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add the butter, whisk until melted and combined. Pour into a bowl, put plastic wrap on surface of cream, then refrigerate until ready to assemble.
