Chapter 1140 1125. The Cake Is Baked (15)

After hearing this, Old Wang was depressed and said, "Then why do you still let me shake it with my hands?"

Eva blinked at him and said with a bright smile, "Because I'm teaching you how to manually extract butter."

In the end, I used a kitchen centrifuge. Two minutes after putting the cream in, I turned on the machine and took out the container. The top layer was fine butter.

There is still some snow-white thick milky substance underneath. Just as Wang Bo was about to throw it away, Eva stopped him and said, "Why throw it away? This is skim milk, and you can keep it for dipping in bread."

As she spoke, she collected the lotion, and took out a cream cloth to wrap the butter.

After wrapping, she dug some ice cubes from the refrigerator to make a large bowl of ice water, and then soaked the butter in the ice water.

"The purpose of this process is to purify the butter and further separate the residual cream from the solid butter, so that the final butter will be thicker," she said.

Wang Bo smiled wryly and said, "Why is it so troublesome? I saw that there is still butter in the refrigerator, so can I just use the one in the refrigerator?"

Eva kissed him, and said with a charming smile: "Be patient, you weren't so impatient when you were on the bed, come on, you have to learn how to extract cream, right?"

He pretended to be shy: "Don't, don't, don't say it so ambiguously, I have to blush and avoid it when I hear such words."

The two were joking lightly, and the ice water turned milky white, so it could be poured out, replaced with clean ice water, and the process repeated.

"It has to be soaked in ice water until it no longer turns white, so that the extracted butter will be more delicate." Eva explained to him.

After repeated washing several times, the ice water finally began to remain clear. Wang Bo opened the bag and poured out the fine and thick butter inside, and then threw the bag away.

Eva shook her head and said, "You are so wasteful, this cloth can be reused."

The butter produced in this way was pure enough, and Eva took out a condiment box, which contained salt, vanilla, rosemary and other seasonings.

"If you want to make the butter salty, you can add some salt. You know, unsalted butter is very sweet." Eva divided the butter into several portions for him to season.

Wang Bo asked: "What else can I add? I remember that the butter you make has many flavors."

Eva smiled slightly and said, "Of course, you can add whatever you want, chives, oranges, lemon or lime zest, rosemary or thyme, or even garlic or ginger."

There is one more process at the end, which is to press the butter into the mold. Made into various shapes.

There are several molds in the kitchen, in the shape of small animals, birds, stars and spheres and so on.

These butter molds can not only shape the butter into exquisite shapes, but also divide the butter into small portions, which will make it easier to eat.

Having made the butter, Eva saved two cups and put the rest in the fridge.

The butter they make is soft and warm, but New Zealanders are used to eating butter that is solidified and a bit cold, so it should be frozen in the refrigerator.

Wang Bo scratched his head and said with a sigh of relief: "It's finally over, my God, extracting butter is more troublesome than cooking boiled meat."

Eva smiled and said: "Don't be so unambitious, my Mr. Chef, come on, let's bake pastries, this is easier than extracting cream, and it is more fun, because it can be eaten."

She went to prepare materials such as flour, eggs, and cornstarch. Wang Bo took out tools, which were an eight-inch round solid-bottomed mold.

Before baking the cake, you need to spread butter on the mold. Wang Bo picked up the butter and found a layer of water droplets on the surface.

"What's going on here?" he asked.

Eva glanced at it and said, "Small problem, butter is very prone to water, because oil is not soluble in water, you understand, right? This problem is caused either by improper soaking in ice water, or by uneven mixing of salt and butter. Stir it a little longer."

Lao Wang began to stir patiently. At this time, more water came out. After a while, the butter did not come out again.

Now that the work can start, he put a light layer of butter on the bottom of the mold, and Eva cut a long strip of aluminum foil. go in."

"Then why did you cut one?"

Eva giggled and said, "Because I'm lazy."

Put the aluminum foil on it for the convenience of demoulding after the cake is baked, then use baking oil paper to cut out an eight-inch circle and a circle of strips slightly higher than the height of the baking mold, and then spread it into the mold, the purpose is naturally the same .

Eva has cracked the eggs and separated the whites from the yolks.

Then make the ingredients, white sugar, milk, heated and melted butter, and evenly stirred egg whites. Wang Bo squeezed fresh lemon juice and smashed the egg yolks.

Baking a cake is actually not easy, it is not something that can be baked by just mixing these ingredients and flour together.

First, use an electric egg beater to beat the foam, then add lemon juice and fine sugar, and continue to use the egg beater to beat until fine.

At this time, add some granulated sugar and continue to beat until the meringue can form a small hook, so that it can be mixed with the egg yolk and batter.

Put a small portion of the meringue into the batter and egg yolk, and after stirring evenly, Eva shook the tool and said, "There are air bubbles in it, if you don't let the air bubbles out now, there will be firecrackers in the oven later." of."

Everything is ready, after putting the baking tray into the oven, adjust the temperature to 140 degrees Celsius and start baking.

Soon, a unique sweet smell of pastries permeated the air.

Little Lolita and the young president came out yawning, and said, "I'm so hungry, sister, why are you eating so late today?"

Eva laughed and said, "It's still a while before lunch?"

Little Lolita said, "No, I mean breakfast."

Eva spread her hands and said, "Oh, sorry dear, breakfast is over—don't look at me like that, who made you wake up so late?"

Little Lolita cried out unwillingly: "It's the weekend, I can stay in bed, that's what you said."

Eva giggled and said, "I mean, you can do it when I'm in bed. I'm sorry, I don't plan to be in bed this weekend."

The strong queen and princess ran over wagging their tails, drooling while looking at the oven and sniffing the aroma.

Xiao Meng also flew in, dropped a rabbit and landed on Wang Bo's shoulder, making a few cooing sounds.

The young man didn't eat breakfast either. Wang Bo dug a bowl of dog food for him. He slapped it away, stared at the oven eagerly, and licked his tongue quickly, waiting to eat the baked cake.
