Poppyseed Apple Empanadas/ Slatke empanade s makom i jabukom

Today I am sharing a recipe for sweet empanadas with you, you can use the dough for sweet and savory fillings as well, the recipe differs from my favourite recipe for Empanades Picantes , as this one is made with rice flour and pure lard.  The rice flour makes the dough nice and crispy, we love these ones a lot. The fillings may vary, up to your taste, and this time I have filled them with poppyseed apple filling, a very delicous combination of flavours, if you ask me! :)

The size of your dough rounds will determine the final size of your empanadas; use smaller cutters for appetizer or dessert empanadas and larger cutters for an entree-size.

Dough:

~  250 grams of all-purpose flour

~ 200 grams of rice flour 

~ 15 grams of butter

In a bowl combine rice flour and 200 gr of all-purpose flour,

 butter, knead by hand. 

Add egg, vinegar, water, then slowly add rest of flour (50 gr), 

knead until soft dough forms. 

Wrap in plastic wrap and put in fridge for about 1 hour. 

For the poppyseed apple filling: 

combine poppy seed, grated apple with hot milk, 

sugar (or sweetener), rum, yolk, and lemon zest. 

Roll out the dough to about 1-3 mm, cut into circles with a mold  

(if you have one, if not, use a glass), 8-10 cm in diameter.

Repeat the process until used up the dough.

Fold the edges of the circle to get a semi-circle. 

Fold and pinch the edges shut (with a fork),

                                              and place them on a baking sheet.                                                          
Sprinkle each empanada with milk before baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C (350° F) for 20-25 minutes 

until light golden brown.

Sprinkle with powder sugar before serving.

 Empanade jako volim, i slane i slatke, zgodne su grickalice, mada ih ne pravim prečesto, čisto iz razloga što su tako male, fine, jedan zalogaj, i kad krenem da jedem, kod mene nema granice. S toga se kod mene empanade prave samo kad ima više degustatora, a ne samo ja i suprug, jer znam kako će (i gdje ;)) završiti ove slatke delicije. Davno sam objavila recept za Empanades Picantes, tijesto je drugačije od ovog koji s vama dijelim danas, u današnjem receptu će u upotrebi biti rižino brašno i mast. Tijesto je krckavije od onog koji sam pravila za Empanades Picantes,  i u ovoj slatkoj kombinaciji  (a možete ih puniti i slanim filom po želji) jedan pravi slatki užitak. Najbolje su kad se tek ohlade, ali su i sutradan fine.

Muhallebi (Turkish Milk Pudding)

How time flies... I cannot believe that I have published my last post a month ago! There are several reasons why it has been so quiet here, first of all it was so warm that I could not motivate myself to sit down and write, and secondly I have been (and still am) on a diet due to health problems. Nothing to worry about, but I have to eat healthier, and reduce my daily sugar intake to the minimum. Not easy when you love sweet treats and chocolate...I realize however, that this is only good for my well-being and my health, and after two weeks my cravings for sweets have reduced to a minimum, and after four weeks now I really can say that I feel fantastic, and have also lost weight, yay!  But lets get back to today's recipe: Muhallebi. It is a recipe that has been waiting to be published  for a while...Unfortunately this -very sweet- type of dessert is not going to be made at our home so soon again, but I recommend you to try it, it is delicious!

Muhallebi is a milk pudding thickened with rice flour or cornstarch. It may optionally be perfumed with rosewater or orange flour water, you may add chopped pistacchios, almonds, cinnamon, chocolate as well as mastic gum (mastic gum pudding). It is very easy to make and tastes best refrigerated.

 Muhallebi (Turkish Milk Pudding)

Ingredients (makes 4)

 

 500 ml milk

40 grams of rice flour

1 teaspoon rosewater

60 grams of sugar

chopped pistacchios or cinnamon (up to taste)

 

Procedure

1. Mix the milk and sugar in a large saucepan and heating slowly, so as not to burn the milk, bring to a simmer.
2. Make a slurry by dissolving the rice flour in some water and, stirring constantly, slowly add this mixture to the simmering milk.
3. Simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened sufficiently to coat a spoon. Remove from the heat.
4. Stir in the rose water.
5. Pour into small ramekins and refrigerate until chilled and set.
6.  Garnish with the chopped pistachios (or cinnamon)

Ne mogu da vjerujem da je prošlo već mjesec dana od mog posljednjeg posta! Vrijeme tako brzo prolazi, ali nisam ni svjesna bila da je toliko vremena prošlo... Jedan od razloga mog pauziranja je prije svega bio period nesnošljivih vrućina, koje bih vrlo lako podnosila da sam negdje na moru, ali ovako je to bila osrednja katastrofa za mene... Inače obožavam ljeto, ali bilo je ipak prevruće! Što zbog vrućina, što zbog dijete koju mi je ljekar preporučio, nisam pretjerano često palila pećnicu, živjeli smo na salatama, LC kruhu, voćnim jogurtima.  Ne mogu reći da nisam imala krize za čokoladom, za kolačima, ali sad, nakon četiri tjedna stroge dijete se osjećam mnogo bolje i  izgubio se već i koji kilogram... Ali, vratimo se današnjem receptu za Muhallebi, meni omiljenom turskom desertu. Muhallebi su pudinzi od rižinog brašna ili od kukuruznog škroba, aromatizirani ružinom vodom ili narančom. Ili  čokoladom :) Mogu se dodati cimet ili sjeckani pistaci, po želji.

Ovaj recept mi već duže vrijeme čeka u draftu, i danas sam slučajno naletjela na fotografije, pa sam odlučila da ga podijelim s vama: 

 Muhallebi 

Sastojci (za 4 zdjelice)

500 ml mlijeka 

40 g rižinog brašna

60 g šećera

1 žličica ružine vode 

sjeckane pistacije ili cimet (po želji)

Priprema:

1.  U loncu izmiješati mlijekom sa šećerom, kuhati na maloj vatri, konstantno miješajući, dok mlijeko ne prokuha. 

2. U malo vode razmutiti rižino brašno, te postepeno uliti u mlijeko sa šećerom. 

3. Pustiti da kuha na najmanjoj vatri 15 do 20 minuta, neprestano miješajući puding. Paziti da ne zagori.

4. Dodati ružinu vodu (ako ne volite, izostavite).

5. Zgusnuti puding raspodijeliti u male zdjelice, pustiti da se ohladi u frižideru.

6. Prije serviranja posuti sjeckanim pistacijama ili cimetom.
