Homemade Butterscotch Krimpets Recipe 385

HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH KRIMPETS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment, letting some parchment hang over the two long edges.
• In a small bowl, combine the water, vanilla and lemon zest.
• In another bowl, stir together the flour and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
• Reserve another tablespoon of sugar to beat with the egg whites.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining 3/4 cup sugar on high speed with the whisk attachment until thick and the mixture falls in ribbons from the raised whisk.
• Lower the mixer speed and gradually add the water/vanilla/lemon mixture. Raise the speed back to high and beat for 30 seconds.
• Use a fine-mesh sieve to sift the flour/sugar mixture onto the yolk mixture and set aside with mixing the flour into the yolks.
• In another mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, and beat on high speed with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add the reserved tablespoonful of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Using a rubber spatula, transfer about a third of the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture, and use a folding motion to combine the yolks, flour mixture, and whites.
• Add another third of the egg whites and fold those in, then add the remaining whites and fold those in.
• Gently scrape the cake batter into the prepared pan, and use an offset spatula to gently spread the batter into an even layer, smoothing the top as much as possible.
• Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden on top and the edges begin to pull the parchment away from the pan.
• Remove the cake pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool.
• Once the cake is cooled, make the frosting: place the butterscotch chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds, until fully melted. Whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the butterscotch/butter mixture, the sugar, milk and salt, until fully combined and lighter in color.
• If it's too thin, add mores confectioners sugar, 1/4 cup at a time until spreadable. If it's too thick, add a teaspoonful of milk until desired consistency is reached.
• Lift the cake out of the baking pan and set it on a table. Use an offset spatula to spread the icing over the sponge cake.
• Use a large knife to the cut the cake into 12 bars.

HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH KRIMPETS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 17x11x1-in. jelly-roll pan (15×10 is fine) and line the bottom with parchment paper In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together eggs and sugars until thick and pale, 3-5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. While that is beating (or before, if you're not using a stand mixer), heat milk and butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter has just melted and the milk is steaming, but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside Gradually sift flour and baking powder into the beaten egg mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. With the mixer running, still at a low speed, slowly stream in the milk/butter mixture until batter is uniform Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading it out evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350F. Cake is done when a tester comes out clean and the top is golden and springs back when touched lightly Let cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely When cake is cooled, spread the butterscotch frosting onto it in a thin, even layer Store leftovers in an airtight container. Makes about 30 Krimpets. FROSTING: Melt butterscotch chips and butter together in a medium sized, microwave safe bowl. Whisk to combine, and set aside for a few minutes to cool to room temperature. Beat butterscotch mixture with confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and 1/4 teaspoons salt. If frosting is too thin, add additional confectioners' sugar to make it spreadable.
