当我在纽约的朋友称赞我buttermilk pie, I tell them this: In the South, you learn how to bake before you learn how to fry. And then you learn how to walk.
This light, lemony, sweet-yet-tangy custard pie always sells out when it’s on my menu. Its flavor recalls a time before refrigeration, when sweet milk wouldn’t keep in the summer heat. Instead, people used the slightly sour liquid that remained after milk was churned to butter.
如今,您在超市购买的酪乳是由牛奶制成的,该牛奶经过培养和发酵,直到它略微变厚,并具有使南部烘焙和这种馅饼的酸味味道如此出色。
Pay attention to your whites, and use a whisk
当我的一些客户在菜单上看到酪乳派时,他们会想到另一个南方经典棋子的国际象棋派。尽管某些版本的国际象棋派似乎相似,但我的酪乳派与我长大的国际象棋派一样。根据我的经验,这种馅饼是一个浓密的甜食,通常在馅料上撒上玉米面,主要是在教堂烘焙的销售中。
另一方面,我的酪乳派的甜味要少得多,并用柠檬挤压了蛋s。更重要的是,蛋清鞭打以软峰减轻了蛋ust。这片馅饼的一片揭示了一个厚实的蛋奶酥状层,躺在较薄的奶油层上。当您咬一口时,您将获得两者的最佳状态:奶油层的丝滑水平和蓬松的蓬松鞋面的柔滑般的脸部效果。层。
冷时分开鸡蛋;在室温下搅拌。当鸡蛋变冷时,白色会更容易与蛋黄分离,并且在此过程中蛋黄破裂的可能性较小。但是,尽管蛋清刚从冰箱中分开,但它们在室温下鞭打至最大体积,部分原因是白色的表面张力在室温下较低,因此使小空气口袋更容易形成。
因为如果蛋白与已经包含的痕迹的脂肪接触,他们将无法混合其最大体积,因此您需要确保碗 - 可取的不锈钢;铜甚至更好 - 而且您的搅拌绝对是无油的。出于同样的原因,如果您甚至在白色的蛋黄中获得了斑点,请用刀将其取出,或者使用该鸡蛋进行扰动并为此食谱开裂。
最好是在不知所措的一边犯错。For a filling with the best texture and optimum volume, you want to mix the whites to incorporate air without overmixing them.
您可以用电动搅拌机搅打蛋清,但我建议您手工搅打它们,因为用机器过度混合太容易了。无论哪种方式,都会缓慢地产生小气泡,比大型气泡更稳定,然后继续进行更剧烈的搅拌。当您可以抬起搅拌并看到一个明确的峰值时,停止搅拌蛋清。如果峰顶滴落略微,那很好:稍微不满意的蛋清会比倒下的损坏较小,因为蛋白质键已经破裂,因此不再能够提供馅饼填充结构。白色混合恰到好处将保持确定的形状;过度混合的白色看起来会暗淡而团块。
Gently fold the egg whites and the custard together.When folding the whites and the custard together, use a spatula and a gentle motion to avoid deflating those egg whites that you whipped so carefully.
最美味,最淡淡的地壳,使用黄油,酥油和猪油
这个美味且令人难以置信的片状的关键馅饼皮is the three different fats used. For a truly southern pie, lard is a must. Made from rendered, clarified pork fat, lard makes the flakiest pie crusts. It’s available at the supermarket (or you can render your own from freshly trimmed pork fat), and it has a mild, nutlike flavor. Solid at room temperature, lard gives you the same flakiness as vegetable shortening but also adds a richness of flavor that shortening lacks. If you can’t get your hands on lard, or if you’re a vegetarian, substitute vegetable shortening for the amount of lard called for, and just don’t tell your southern friends.
