A Trip Down Memory Lane
Close your eyes and let's travel back in time, to a period where I ventured into the realm of baking without butter. It all began with a batch of light, airy, and incredibly crispy ladyfinger biscuits – a revelation that sparked my curiosity. Could this same batter work wonders for an ensemble of mixed nuts? The answer lay ahead, waiting to be unveiled.
Our culinary adventure kicks off with a nod to the classics – the timeless art of toasting nuts. In the heart of the kitchen, the nuts dance and crackle in the pan, embracing an extra layer of crunchiness that sets the stage for what's to come.
Crafting the Batter: A 3-Ingredient Alchemy
The journey continues with the creation of a ladyfinger batter that's as enchanting as it is delicious. Imagine the rhythmic whisking of egg whites and sugar until they form firm, cloud-like peaks.
Meanwhile, egg yolks join forces with sugar, a dash of salt, and a hint of zesty orange zest, creating a symphony of flavors. Gently folding in flour and alternating with the whipped egg whites results in a harmonious amalgamation that sets the stage for the nutty transformation.
Ingredients for Magic: A Symphony of Taste
1 kg Mixed Nuts & Dried Fruits
3 Eggs
110 g Caster Sugar
150 g Flour
1 teaspoon Salt (optional)
1 tablespoon Orange Zest (optional)
To ensure even more flavor you can add Orange or Lemon zest to the mixture. Maybe even cinnamon and vanilla if you feel like it.
A Nutty Fusion
As we mix the batter with the roasted nuts, the kitchen comes alive with anticipation. More than a kilogram of mixed nuts and dried fruits blend seamlessly into the concoction, forming a nutty symphony that promises an explosion of flavor in every bite.
From Batter to Delight: A Crispy Transformation
With a dash of ingenuity and the help of a trusty egg ring mold, each spoonful of batter is transformed into a perfectly round canvas of crispy delight. These cookie circles, though sticky at first, hold their form as they bake to golden perfection in just 10 to 12 minutes. A watchful eye ensures that every batch emerges as an exquisite testament to the art of baking.
