Confectionery educational program
Knowledge is never superfluous, especially when it comes to culinary secrets. Before we look at the step-by-step recipe for pancake cake with custard, let's listen to what experienced pastry chefs advise us:
- Pancakes for the cake can be baked according to any recipe. And to give them an exquisite citrus flavor, add orange zest to the dough.
- The main rule for preparing custard is that all products should be at approximately the same temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance.
- The eggs for the cream must be beaten until stiff peaks form.
- If you have time, it is better to separate the whites from the yolks. To make the whites faster and easier to beat, add a little citric acid to them. For the same purpose, the yolks can be lightly salted.
- Add vanilla powder only to the cooled cream so that it retains the aroma.
- You can soak pancake cakes with sweet syrup by combining granulated sugar and filtered water in a ratio of 1:3. Fast and tasty!
- To avoid burning the cream, stir it with a wooden spatula.
- If you think the custard is runny, add melted butter to it.
- To give the cream a bright yellow tint, add a little turmeric to it.
- During the cooking process, it is important to stir the custard all the time, otherwise it may form lumps.
- Whatever custard recipe you choose, follow this rule: stir it constantly as it cools. Otherwise, the top layer will form a crust, and it will be difficult to mix it with the main mass.
- A little trick: you can cool the cream faster if you place the container with it in a large bowl with cold water.
