The smell of Lakodalmas peach cookies is such an effective invitation that even the person who declared five minutes ago that he is not hungry at all will look into the kitchen. A jam-walnut cake disguised as a peach. The fruit bowl causes a serious identity crisis. Once the lid is lifted, diet plans politely move to the next day.
Thorough preparation
- Preparation: prepare all the ingredients and tools, read the steps, then measure the ingredients. This way, you don't have to rush while cooking, and it's easier to find the right consistency.
- Knead shortcrust pastry, form walnut-sized balls and bake until light. Work with a preheated oven and check color, smell and texture towards the end of the time, because ovens perform differently.
- Gently hollow out the bottom, mix the crumbs with jam, nuts and cocoa. Mix or work just until uniform; over-mixing with more dough and foam can spoil the texture.
- Fill and glue two hemispheres together. Go slowly and check the texture, aroma and balance of flavors before each subsequent operation.
- Paint it peach, roll in granulated sugar and decorate with leaves. Go slowly and check the texture, aroma and balance of flavors before each subsequent operation.
- Finishing and serving: let the food settle for a few minutes, if its character allows. Taste it, adjust the seasoning, and then serve it at the right temperature for the food.
Practical tips and common mistakes
- Carve out the hemispheres while still warm, they crack more easily when cold.
- When baking, measure accurately, and use the butter and eggs at the temperature required by the recipe.
- Let it cool completely or rest before slicing: the cutting surface will be nicer and the texture will be more orderly.
- Only cool the leftovers and put them in the fridge, covered, and reheat them according to the nature of the food before consumption.
