Sand baskets with protein cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the dough.

2. Step 2:

   

   Be sure to sift the flour (together with baking powder) to saturate it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the baking will turn out to be more airy. In the bowl of the blender, pour the flour, salt, sugar or sweetener sifted together with baking powder, which is not afraid of heat treatment, diced cooled (from the refrigerator) butter.

3. Step 3:

   

   Grind everything into fine crumbs.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the egg and knead a soft, elastic dough that does not stick to your hands. If necessary, add a little flour, achieving the desired consistency of the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   Roll the dough into a ball and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Spread a sheet of parchment paper on the work surface. Lay out the dough. Cover it with a second sheet of parchment of a suitable size. Roll out the dough into a thin layer between two sheets of parchment.

7. Step 7:

   

   Remove the top layer of paper and cut out circles with a glass with a diameter slightly larger than the basket molds that you will use to form the sides.

8. Step 8:

   

   Put the dough circles into the molds, prick them with a fork.

10. Step 9:

    

    Cover the baking sheet with foil, lay out the molds with blanks, which are also covered with foil inside. Fill them with beans for the cargo. Send the baskets to the oven preheated to 180 in advance (10-15 minutes before the start of cooking). Bake for about 10 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Remove the cargo and foil. Return to bake in the oven for another 10 minutes until cooked.

12. Step 11:

    

    Remove the blanks from the molds, cool.

13. Step 12:

    

    For the filling, I took red currant jam. You can take any thick jam, jam or jam, preferably sweet and sour.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put 2 chines in each cooled basket.L. fillings.

15. Step 14:

    

    Prepare the ingredients for the cream. Carefully separate the whites from the yolks, it is important that not a drop of yolk gets into the protein mixture, otherwise it will not rise.

16. Step 15:

    

    Mix proteins with sugar in a separate container. Glass, enameled, ceramic dishes will do, but not aluminum, otherwise the protein will turn gray. Put it in a water bath and, stirring, bring the mixture to 60 degrees. For a water bath, you will need two containers of different diameters. Place the smaller container on top of the larger one, so that it is immersed in water for about half and cook.

17. Step 16:

    

    Remove the cream from the heat and beat well with a mixer at low speed until it increases in volume and density. Fill the baskets with cream (from a pastry bag) and decorate as desired. I have slices of kumquat and mint. You can take any fruit or berries to your liking.
