Boba Pancakes With Milk Tea Cream Recipe By Tasty

THAI TEA BOBA WHEEL CAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the Thai tea custard: Add the milk and Thai tea bags to a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until the milk just barely begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently press the tea bags against the side of the pot so that all of the flavor is released into the milk. Turn off the heat, remove the tea bags, and let the infused milk cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and cornstarch until thoroughly combined and the mixture turns light yellow in color.
• While whisking constantly so the eggs do not curdle, slowly pour the infused milk into the egg yolk mixture. Pour the custard back into the pot used to infuse the milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming, for 3-4 minutes, until thickened. Strain the custard into a medium heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
• Make the wheel cakes: In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture turns light yellow in color. Add the salt, milk, and melted butter and whisk to combine.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter a bit at a time, taking care not to deflate the batter.
• Heat the wheel cake pan over low heat. Generously grease the pan, as well as a ¼-cup measure and 1-tablespoon measure, with nonstick spray.
• Add a pinch of black sesame seeds to each of the wheel cake cups. Using the greased measuring cup, scoop ¼ cup of the batter into each of the cups. Using the back end of a chopstick, swirl the batter around so it coats the sides of the cups all the way to the top edges. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sides begin to bubble and set.
• Using the greased tablespoon measure, add 2 tablespoons of boba to the centers of two of the cakes. Add 2 tablespoons of Thai tea custard to each of the remaining cakes. Continue cooking the cakes, using chopsticks to rotate them so they cook evenly and don't stick to the pan, until browned and cooked ¾ of the way through, 2-3 minutes more.
• Use an offset spatula to flip the cakes with the boba onto the cakes with the tea custard, gently pressing down to sandwich the halves together. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cakes are evenly brown on both sides. Remove the cakes from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and fillings to make 7 cakes total.

BOBA MILK TEA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the boba pearls: Add the water and muscovado sugar to a medium pan over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil, 3-4 minutes. Add a bit of the tapioca flour and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add half of the remaining tapioca flour and stir vigorously until a sticky dough forms. Turn off the heat and add the remaining tapioca flour. Stir until the dough comes together in a ball (not all of the flour will be incorporated at this stage). Let cool slightly.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Knead until all of the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth, adding more flour or water as needed if the dough is too sticky or too dry.
• Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll the dough into long, thin ropes about ¼-inch (6.35 mm) thick, cutting in half crosswise if they get too long. Cut the ropes into ¼-inch (6.35 mm) pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place in a bowl with a bit of tapioca flour. Dust the balls with the flour to prevent them from sticking to each other.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Shake off any excess flour from the tapioca pearls, then add to the boiling water. Stir to separate the pearls, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the brown sugar syrup: Add the muscovado sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the syrup reduces slightly, 5-7 minutes. Pour the syrup into a large heatproof bowl.
• Once the pearls have cooked through, drain and rinse with cold water. Add the pearls to the bowl with the brown sugar syrup and let sit for 30-60 minutes.
• Make the black tea: In a medium pot over high heat, combine the water and tea bags. Bring to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat and let the tea cool to room temperature.
• Make the milk mixture: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the half-and-half and sweetened condensed milk until combined.
• Assemble the boba milk tea: Add about ⅓ cup (80 ml) boba pearls and brown sugar syrup to the bottom of each glass. Top with 1½ cups (225 grams) ice, then add ½ cup (240 ml) black tea and 3 tablespoons of the milk mixture. Stir with a wide-opening straw, then serve.
• Enjoy!
