Sunt iremediabil îndrăgostită de Portugalia
(deşi nu am respirat încă aerul portughez şi nu am călcat încă pe sol
portughez), de limba portugheză, de vinurile portugheze, de mâncarea portugheză
(aşa cum mi-a ieşit în bucătăria din România) şi, evident, de dulciurile
portugheze. Sunt sigură că v-aţi convins deja de acest lucru. Aşa că nu o mai
lungesc mult şi vă prezint o prăjitură cu un gust minunat de lapte şi topping
de migdale.
PĂTRĂŢELE
CU MIGDALE
Aluat:
- 100 g zahăr
- 100 g unt
- 2 ouă
- 250 g făină
- 3 linguri lapte
- 1 linguriţă praf de copt
- 100 g zahăr
- 100 g unt
- 150 g migdale măcinate
- 300 ml lapte
Topim untul şi îl lăsăm deoparte.
Adăugăm apoi laptele, untul topit, făina şi
praful de copt. Amestecăm bine până obţinem un aluat omogen.
Turnăm compoziţia într-o tavă unsă cu unt şi
tapetată cu făină (eu am folosit o tavă cu diametrul de 30 cm şi mi-a ieşit o
prăjitură cam de 2 cm înălţime).
Coacem prăjitura în cuptorul preîncălzit, la
foc mediu, circa 20 de minute.
Între timp facem siropul: amestecăm toate
ingredientele într-o cratiţă şi punem pe foc (mic), amestecând din când în
când. După ce a început să fiarbă, mai lăsăm siropul pe foc 5 minute.
Scoatem prăjitura din cuptor, o înţepăm cu o
furculiţă din loc în loc, apoi turnăm siropul cu un polonic.
Dăm din nou prăjitura la cuptor pentru încă
10-15 minute. Este posibil să nu absoarbă tot siropul, dar pe măsură ce se
răceşte îl va absorbi aproape pe tot – ce rămâne va fi ca un fel de sos.

I am for ever in love with Portugal (although I haven't smelled yet the Portuguese air and neither stepped on the Portuguese soil), with Portuguese language, Portuguese wines, Portuguese dishes (made in my Romanian kitchen) and, obviously, with the Portuguese sweets. I am sure you are already convinced by that. So I won't take too much of your time anymore and directly show you a cake with a wonderful milky taste and almond topping.
ALMOND SQUARES
Batter:
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 250 g flour
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g butter
- 150 g ground almonds
- 300 ml milk
We melt the butter and leave it aside.
We whisk the eggs with the sugar until smooth, then add in the milk, melted butter, flour and baking powder. We stir until we obtain a smooth composition.
We pour the batter in a greased and powdered tray (I used a 30 cm round pan and my cake was about 2 cm high).
We bake the cake in the preheated oven, to medium heat, for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, we make the syrup: we mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and put it t boil on low heat, stirring from time to time. Once it started to boil, we leave it another 5 minutes.
We then remove the cake from the oven, use a fork to sting it here and there, then pour the syrup with a ladle.
We put the cake back in the oven for 10-15 minutes. It is possible for the cake to not absorb all the syrup, but as it gets cold it will absorb almost all of it – the remaining syrup will become like a sauce.
When cooled, we cut the cake into squares and serve it.
Enjoy!
