Properly hiya, bee-cheese!!! Welcome to this season’s finale of my viennoiserie trials!🔥🔥
Oh my god. This was probably the most labor intensive viennoiserie make-up I’ve ever executed. The lamination and make up had been 5 hours course of, and I rolled as soon as each 20 minutes! hahah! Price it!
This time I did not take inspiration from conventional bakes or dishes. I simply wished to showcase native herbs and spice. Humorous factor, if not for English translations, I’ll by no means affiliate lemongrass and lime-basil with lemon lol.
The dough was bicolor dough, the inexperienced one I used pandan water-extract (water sediment, to be exact). The sediment is commercially out there right here, so I simply purchased it.
The filling is cornstarch thickened lemon curd. I all the time suppose common lemon curd is just too wealthy to be pastry filling, it is like filling butter with extra butter. Does not make any sense. It is mainly pastry cream, however I substituted the liquid with lemon juice, the sugar with condensed milk. I used complete eggs and a little bit of butter. I pureed the whole lot (besides the butter) in blender together with lemongrass, contemporary turmeric root, and keffir lime leaves, strained the liquid, and prepare dinner it on wok. Wok is ideal for pastry cream, I do not even must do egg tempering. As a result of wok has no edge, there is no such thing as a danger of curdling, and no want for straining once more.
I glazed the pastries with home made lemon syrup, closely infused with lime-basil leaves, or as we name it, kemangi.
Ilustration, kemangi

Verdict
I like the whole lot about it. ‘Refreshing’ is a bizarre phrase to explain pastries, however these are actually refreshing. The turmeric root additionally provides delicate orangy taste. The syrup glaze is actually aromatic. We’re so obsessed over right here with the outcomes. They actually make excellent finale to our viennoiserie trials.
Subsequent, I’ll do fascinating tackle babka! No industrial yeast concerned! Completely happy baking!
