Viennoiserie
''Viennoiseries'' (, "things of Vienna") are baked goods made from a yeast-leavened dough in a manner similar to bread, or from puff pastry, but with added ingredients (particularly eggs, butter, milk, cream and sugar), which give them a richer, sweeter character that approaches that of pastry. The dough is often laminated. ''Viennoiseries'' are typically eaten at breakfast or as snacks. Types Examples include croissants; Vienna bread and its French equivalent, ''pain viennois'', often shaped into baguettes; brioche; ''pain au chocolat''; ''pain au lait''; ''pain aux raisins''; ''chouquettes''; Danish pastries; xuixo; ''bugnes''; and '' chausson aux pommes''. History The popularity of Viennese-style baked goods in France began with the Boulangerie Viennoise, which was opened by August Zang in 1839. The first usage of the expression ''pâtisseries viennoises'' appeared in 1877 in a book by the French author Alphonse Daudet, ''Le Nabab''. However, the use of puff pastry came later ...

Crema Catalana
The dessert known in most of Spain as ''crema catalana'' ("Catalan cream"), but as ''crema cremada'' ("burnt cream") in Catalan cuisine, is similar to a ''crème brûlée''; the desserts have been called "virtually identical", although ''crema catalana'' is made with milk, while ''crème brûlée'' is made with cream. ''Crema catalana'' is a custard made from egg yolks, milk, sugar, cornflour (in modern recipes), and aromatics, typically lemon zest, cinnamon, or vanilla, with a crisp caramel crust. Recipe Some differences between ''crema catalana'' and ''crème brûlée'' include the cooking method and the resulting consistency; the French version is made with cream (that contains 30 to 36 percent of fat) and flavoured with vanilla, while the Catalan version is made with milk ( whole milk has an average of 3.5 percent fat), and typically flavoured with cinnamon and lemon zest. Modern versions are often thickened with cornflour. Crema catalana cannot be frozen successfully. Hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
