MANTECADAS RECIPE



Mantecadas Recipe image

Mantecadas - Sweet bread has a culture of its own in Mexico and is a tradition that has been embraced and deeply loved for generations. We have primarily Spain and France to thank for that, as their influence is why we have such a passion for sweet pastry.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggs
125 grams of sugar (½ cup + 1 tbs*)
½ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla or orange essence**
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
125 grams of All Purpose flour (1 cup minus 1 tbs)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 pinch of salt
Bowls (whisk, measuring cups and spoons, muffin paper liners, muffin pan, pitcher or a ladle to pour the batter.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Place muffin paper liners in muffin pan.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder and yeast in one medium size bowl, and set aside. Place egg and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
  • Add milk and the flavoring of your choice (vanilla, orange essence plus orange zest) and mix.
  • Incorporate the oil in a gentle stream and whisk again to form a homogenous mixture.
  • Slowly stir in the dry ingredients plus the pinch of salt, mixing gently until you have a very uniform batter. Do not over mix. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  • With the help of a pitcher or a ladle, pour the batter into the already prepared muffin pan. Fill it up just a little bit bellow the edge. See picture above.
  • Carefully place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for about 5 minutes on a cooling rack. They keep well for 2 to 3 days when stored in an airtight container.

HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS



Ham and Cheese Puffs image

This is my cross-cultural take on a frequently served Swedish snack. If you're making the North African mantecaos specifically for this dish, you might omit the cumin, but I think they're more interesting with it. You can also make these with standard biscuits, in which case they're pretty simple.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
5 shallots, sliced
2 cups diced cooked ham, pork, or slab bacon
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or dill leaves
Black pepper to taste
Cheese Mantecaos (page 35), cooled and sliced in half horizontally

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat and add the meat; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and herbs. Add to the meat mixture and cook until just heated through. Season with pepper and spoon into the Cheese Mantecaos, making little sandwiches. Serve immediately.

  • First you need to toast the flour in the oven. To do so, spread it out on a baking sheet, and bake under the broiler (250ºC/480ºF) until the top layer browns. Remove the flour from the oven, mix it up spread it out on the baking sheet again and bake until golden. Repeat the process 4-5 times until all of the flour is toasted and golden brown. Keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn!
  • Toast the ground almonds in some of the lard in a pan on the stove. Once they are a golden brown, remove them from the stove and let them cool.
  • Once your ingredients have cooled, mix all of the ingredients together making sure to incorporate all of the lard. The "dough" should come together when you press on it, but should easily fall apart. You may need to add in a little more lard to achieve the right texture. (Don't add in too much or you will end up with hard cookies rather than crumbly soft ones when you bake them.)
