Recipe Post 2018 N0.20- Coconut and Raspberry Macaroon Tarts

Hola chicos and chicas!

Yet again, I'm back at it with some other delightful, piquant recipe. This week's recipe, as it happens, was inspired by the raspberry macaroon tarts, sold in a pack of 4 at Waitrose, truly. I shared the box with my mum one weekday and they were absolutely divine and left my mum and I wishing for more. In the light of this story, I bring you my take on macaroon tarts!


To prepare for baking, you'll need:

For the pastry:

150g of plain flour

75g of block margarine

cold water

For the filling:

1 egg

50g of caster sugar

1 tsp of vanilla extract

25g of plain flour

75g of desiccated coconut

16 raspberries

4tbsp of raspberry jam

In attribution to decorating:

raspberries

A quarter of fresh coconut 

Icing sugar

Method:

Firstly, sieve the flour into a bowl and rub the margarine into the flour until the mixture clumps and the margarine is no longer visible.

Add in the cold water, gradually, mixing until the mixture can be bunched into a big ball.

Roll the pastry out on a lightly-floured work surface and cut out 12 mini tartlets. Prick the bases and allow to chill for 20 minutes in the fridge.

In the meantime, heat the oven to 180℃/ 160℃ fan/ Gas Mark 4. Line each tin with a small square of foil, filling it with baked beans. Blind bake this for 10 minutes until pale golden. Remove the foil and baking beans and cook for 3 minutes.

To concot the delectable filling, whisk the egg yolk, caster sugar and vanilla extract. Mix this into the flour and desiccated coconut. Whisk the egg white to firm peaks and stir into the mix.

Spread ½ tsp of raspberry jam into each tart shell, adding 2 raspberries and dividing the coconut filling between the tins. Bake this for 15 minutes until golden.

Next, optional, but to make toasted coconut shavings, shave off thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Place the coconut shavings onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast in the oven for around 5 minutes.


Lastly, to top off the tarts, you can decorate it as desired, how this particular recipe suggested garnishing with fresh raspberries, toasted coconut shaving and a dusting of icing sugar.

And listo!

Baking Post N0.19- Photos of easy almond cake

Bonjour à tous!

Prior to the release of today's post, I was contemplating on whether to produce a separate post for the delayed cake photos or to simply upload them to the original recipe post. 
Nevertheless, I opted to making another post as a result of  being my last post in June 2018. Besides, I feel like jumping on here and conversing a little introduction.😊


Firstly, I'm very much aware on my inconsistency over this platforms over the past 2 or so months and I would like to take the opportunity to SINCERELY apologize for the jolts and crashes of inconsistency.

Over the past 2 months, I have been strenuously revising for critical, upcoming exams on top of outer-school activities aside from BakingBoutique. Although I tried my best to manage and
generally make the best of both worlds, it simply wasn't possible and unfortunately this blog received the worst end of it. Therefore, I'm awfully sorry. 

One of the reasons why I chose to produce a new post altogether was to fabricate somewhat of a"fresh chapter". I got off to a good start and yes I faded slightly but as a new month arises, I have an opportunity to change that. SO without further ado, here are the photos of my easy almond cake which tasted deliciously almond-y!
