2) 2 tbsp fine sugar (28g), 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour;
Puff pastry:
3) 1 cup unsifted all purpose flour (160 g), 2 tbsp fine sugar (28g);

Directions:
1: Peel off (Picture 1) and dice 2 bananas into small pieces. Combine with all ingredients of Ingredient 2) in a medium size bowl (Picture 2), toss to coat all pieces evenly.
Dough:
2: Mix well all ingredients of Ingredient 3) in a container. Add all ingredients of Ingredient 4) to the flour (Picture 3) to form soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add another 2 tsp flour. Knead to form smooth dough (Picture 4). Cover with a damp cloth and let it stand for 20 minutes.
3: Combine all ingredients of Ingredient 6) in a small container (Picture 5). Mix well with a spoon (Picture 6), then cover and set aside.
Puff pastry:
4: Rub some oil on both hands and working surface. Knead the dough a few times then divide into 12 equal portions. Cover others while working on one portion. Roll out one portion into an oval about 10 cm long, and smooth on 1/12 of oil paste (Picture 7). Fold the dough twice: fold the bottom third up and the top third down (Picture 8). Turn 90 deg., press down and roll out into a 4×12 cm rectangle (Picture 9). Again, fold the bottom third up and the top third down (Picture 10).
5: Roll the dough out into a 12×16 cm rectangle (Picture 11). Fold from left to right to form a slender roll (Picture 12). Roll once more from bottom to top (Pictures 13 and 14). Cover with food wrap while working on the remaining 11 portions.
6: Press down the dough and roll out into an 8 cm circle. Place 1/12 banana filling (Picture 15) on one side, carefully fold over to cover the filling. Press down to seal the edge (Picture 16). Repeat for the remaining 11 portions.
7: Preheat oven to 375F, place 12 banana turnovers on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and use a folk to poke a few holes. Bake for 20-22 minutes, broil at low for 1-2 minutes to achieve desired golden color. Set aside to cool. Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.
毛妈,我试过油皮酥皮都是用lard,但是发现冷却下来皮会变的很硬。也试过两种皮都用玉米油,冷却下来的时候皮是没那么硬,相对来讲比较好一点,不过就是不酥脆,软软的。
为什么我在唐人街买的老婆饼放2天了还是会酥的掉渣?还有您这个配方是油皮是用玉米油,油酥用lard,是不是会有不同的效果呢?这两天都在厨房捣鼓这老婆饼,腿都快断掉了,以前以为做蛋糕麻烦,现在才知道做酥皮点心才要命,真佩服您,我想毛爸跟毛毛喜欢吃酥皮点心就是你源源不断的动力吧!。 我也不好甜食,那都是为人民服务,谁叫我爱给自己揽活干。哈哈,对不住,耽误您宝贵的时间听我发牢骚!〜〜〜〜^_^
水皮点心关键叠层要好,用猪油是效果最好的。
嗯,我再试试。
谢谢!
不谢。
毛毛妈:
首先向您表示崇高的敬意和爱戴。我在北美,北美的面粉跟加拿大有很大差别。总的来说,如果我严格按照重量而不是按照体积来量面粉的话,用您的方子发馒头面,包子面,和面包都没问题,但是做酥皮点心就不行了。我做香蕉酥皮角的时候就发现,油皮非常稀,无法成形,很难分成12份,我只好全部水皮油皮杆成一张皮,最后才分成12份,烤出来的酥皮角味道还好,但分层不象您的那么明显。我就怀疑油皮不该那么稀。另外我用您的方子做蛋挞的时候,蛋挞的水皮根本粘不到一起(象散沙),蛋挞的油皮也是稀稀的,不能粘成球(我看见您照片里的蛋挞的油皮是球状)。所以我想请教一下,油皮是应该稀稀的呢,还是应该可以粘成球?如果是稀稀的,您是怎么分12等份的呢?如果应该可以粘成球,我是不是可以适当加点面粉直到油皮能粘成球?蛋挞的水皮也应该象酥皮角的水皮一样有延展性能杆吧,我的蛋达水皮象散沙一样, 我是不是该减少猪油,增加水直到它象酥皮角的水皮一样呢?我相信您的方子是完全正确的,只可惜我买不到加拿大的材料,所以会有这些差异。希望您能根据您的经验,指点一下我改进的大方向。
提前谢谢您了。
油皮是比较软,但不应该是稀汤汤的。蛋达水皮象散沙一样, 我是不是该减少猪油,可以减少猪油量。
谢谢毛毛妈指点。
我还有个问题,我发现您酥皮角的水皮的比例大约是 面:油:水=1.8:0.5:1 (160:44:88), 而蛋挞的水皮的比例大约是 面:油:水=2.6:1.3:1 (120:60:45)。为什么同样是水皮,比例会差这么多呢,有什么特殊的原因吗?如果有特殊的原因,我想可以帮助我找到合理的调整方向。
再次感谢您的迅速解答。
酥皮角的水皮用到基本上是素油,油也少些更健康些。 蛋挞用的是猪油,为了要达到像店里卖的那样的酥松,油自然要用的多了。
请问毛毛妈,最后做好了用叉子戳几个小孔的作用是什么呢?
另外我家LD特别不喜欢肉桂粉的味道,可不可以换成别的呢?或者干脆不放?
最后,请问香蕉可不可以换成别的水果啊?我家LD最爱苹果和草莓,做馅的时候有什么区别吗?还是直接把香蕉替换成其他水果就好啦?
谢谢啦
通气用,肉桂粉可以不放,但味道会不同。可以换自己喜欢的馅料,料要保持相对干燥,不要湿嗒嗒的。
好的好的,谢谢毛毛妈,明天来试试··:)
另外,这一款甜点直接用超市卖的Puff pastry sheet应该是可以吧~~
可以。
