First, consider the classic recipe for lemongrass, which is familiar to all of us because it was considered one of the main dishes we love. In order to make lemongrass pie, you need to have a certain skill, because its filling spreads quickly and it is very difficult to bake it so that it does not spread over the dough. Otherwise, not only the appearance of the cake will be spoiled, but also in places where it flows out, it will be poorly baked. But having filled your hand, you can turn the preparation of lemongrass into art and captivate your environment with it.
So, for the test we will take all the ingredients strictly by weight: we need 420 grams of flour, 200 grams of butter, 150 grams of sugar, 2 chicken eggs, half a teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
For the filling: it is necessary to prepare 2 scalded in boiling water lemon, the zest from which you need to separate and scroll separately, 200 grams of sugar and 1 tablespoon of starch.
First, prepare the dough: sift the flour, mix with baking powder, add salt and lemon zest. Soften butter, grind with sugar to a snow-white state, drive one egg at a time. Here you need to worry about that. to leave a little yolk in order to grease the surface of the finished cake. Now pour the mixture with flour into this mass and knead the dough as quickly as possible. The dough is soft, so we remove it for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
After the time has passed, divide the resulting dough into 2 balls of the same size and roll it between two layers of plastic film, because the mass is such that otherwise it will be difficult to transfer it to the pan. After we put the first layer on the pan, not forgetting to cover its sides, we roll out the second layer of dough in the same way.
And now the turn of the filling has now come. Place the lemons in a blender, then add sugar and starch, mix quickly, not waiting for the sugar to melt. It is very important to do everything quickly and smoothly. We spread the filling on the dough in a pan, cover with a second flat cake and squeeze the edges gently with a fork. It remains to grease the top and send the lemongrass to the oven, heated to 160 degrees for about 40 minutes.
To make lemongrass pie according to this recipe can be sweeter and acidic. It all depends on your taste and the amount of sugar. The choice is yours. You can sprinkle the finished cake with nuts or powdered sugar. It will turn out beautifully and nuts will give the dessert a special charm.
It was a shortcrust pastry recipe. But the preparation of lemongrass is also possible from yeast dough. Moreover, by consistency, it resembles a sand. Let's try this lemongrass recipe.
For the test, we need 50 grams of fresh or one and a half tablespoons of dried yeast, half a glass of pre-grated milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 egg, 4 cups of flour, 200 grams of butter and half a teaspoon of salt. The dough is cooked and rises quickly: the yeast is dissolved in milk, brought to 40 degrees, with the addition of sugar and a few tablespoons of flour. The mixture rises literally 10 minutes and then pour in the remaining flour, soft butter and knead the dough. For 30-40 minutes we wrap it and put it in a warm place.
