開心果馬卡龍 Pistachio Macaron 迷人的香氣, 溫潤如玉




開心果馬卡龍 Pistachio Macaron 迷人的香氣 溫潤如玉. like a warm jade scented with a lovely nutty aroma...nom nom nom




自從去了巴黎, 就愛上了開心果. 濃濃的堅果味征服了我. 它是一個台灣沒有的口味. 曾經有那一段時間一直尋找開心果的甜食, 開心果冰淇淋, 馬卡龍, 金融家, 泡芙, 蛋糕, 塔....等等. 最後在離開巴黎時還帶了一罐一公斤的開心果醬回台灣. 


也許你會說, 去巴黎不帶LV包, 卻帶開心果醬回來 真是個傻瓜. 


我就是那麼傻. 


傻傻的聞著這香氣, 思念著那些在巴黎的時光.







To me, pistachio is like the flavor of Paris. It was where I started having all these pistachio flavored sweets: financier, ice cream, choux pastry, tart, cakes....and macarons of course. Hey, they didn't have pistachio desserts in Taiwan. So, instead of bringing back Louis Vuitton handbags and shoes from Paris, I brought a can of pistachio paste back with me. Yes it was heavy, but it's worth all the money.


Whenever I open up that can, the aromas bring my memories back to the old times in Paris...


Few days ago, I had a few egg whites left and I flipped through my Pierre Herme Macaron cookbook and made this lovely pistachio macaron.... it tastes SO good that I regret I only brought a can of pistachio paste back with me! ...nom nom nom...


Here's how I made it:
from Pierre Herme's Macaron book:

開心果費南雪 Pistachio Financier

費南雪Financier 在法文是"金融"的意思

這是一個在法國金融區的小糕點師傅 Lasne 為了附近的客人所發明的甜點, 客人可以單手拿著"金融"蛋糕, 邊吃邊看財報, 而且不會掉蛋糕碎屑. 方便又好吃, 從此這配方傳了下來逾百年之久.

蛋糕形狀似金磚, 剛出爐時四周酥脆, 內心軟綿綿的~

我這次用愛心烤盤做了開心果的口味. 你看, 用這樣擺起來像不像幸運草呢?





食譜:
奶油(褐化) 180g
糖  100g
杏仁粉 200g
開心果泥  50g
蛋白 6顆
麵粉 150g


製作褐化奶油 (Beurre Noisette/Hazelnut Butter/Browned Butter)
*褐化奶油有種臻果的特殊香氣, 蛋糕更有層次感
(小字典: 法文Beurre Noisette 就是臻果奶油的意思)
先準備鍋子和濾勺, 濾勺上面放廚房紙巾
把奶油融化後轉小火, 這時要小心別讓奶油燒焦了
