C'est La Pate a Choux

Today, I'm feeling lucky, so gue memutuskan untuk menaklukkan "pate a choux" aka choux pastry alias kue Sus :) (dongeng sejarah Sus klik di sini). Hehehe...kesannya susah banget sih bikin Sus! Sebenernya gak susah, tricky iya! Kalo kita ikutin step by step resepnya, keliatan mudah sekali tapi begitu masuk prosesi panggang-panggangan...nah ini dia yang bikin jantung deg-deg-an..."jadi kempes gak ya, mimpes (baca: kempes sekempes-kempesnya) gak ya?"



Hal kayak gini emang penyakitnya Sus. Makanya panas oven harus rata dan cukup tinggi (bolak-balik wejangan Mama daku camkan). Udah gitu jangan bolak-balik dibuka kalo belum mateng dan naik bener. Trus trik gue (belajar dari pengalaman Sus collapse yang pertama), setelah waktu pemanggangan habis, waktunya gue tambahin 5 menit dengan suhu oven yang diturunin pelan-pelan (pake tehnik cooled slower to prevent collapsing), jadi begitu keluar oven, si Sus gak kaget.

Waktu pertama kali nyoba bikin, gue sempet pesimis, Sus gue gak bakalan jadi. Ternyata emang dasar spiritnya spirit putus asa, bener aja Sus gue gak jadi, adonan terlalu cair kemungkinan karena kebanyakan telur (padahal gue dah ngikutin takaran telurnya sesuai resep. Mungkin karena telur yang gue pake bisa dibilang gede-gede, jadi banyak cairannya). Adonan cair gitu gak ngarepin ngembang bagus deh!

Kali ini dengan semangat keberuntungan gue mencoba lagi dan optimis berat :). Pada saat masukin telur juga hati-hati, satu-satu dimasukin berhubung gue pake telur-telur yang gede lagi (gak kayak waktu itu yang dimasukin sekaligus ke adonan), sambil merhatiin konsistensi adonan.

Akhirnya....inilah Sus gue! Penaklukan berhasil! Gak kempes! *hehehe...norak deh!* Walopun emang bentuknya gue bikin gak gede-gede tapi mini-mini. Buat fillingnya, karena bosen sama vla biasa, akhirnya nyobain bikin vla butter cream dengan extra rhum. Hhhhmmm YUMMY!! Buat yang suka gurih pake filling ragout ayam juga okeh.

Bonne Chance!! et Bon Appetit!! :)P

Today I'm feeling lucky, so I decided to conquer 'pate a choux' aka choux pastry or kue Sus:) (click here for history of choux pastry) Hehehe.. seems like it's soo hard to make kue Sus. Actually it's not difficult, but tricky. If we follow step by step of the recipe, it's easy, however when it's ready to be baked.. .it's a heartbeat process.. ." is it going to be a flat kue Sus or not? (gotta think totally flat)."

That's the unique thing about kue Sus. The oven temperature should be quite high and the heat should be spread evenly inside (according to my Mom's). Don't try to open the oven when it's not cooked well. Another trick that I got from the first experience when baking my first kue Sus, after it has reached the baking time, I add the time by 5 minutes and the oven temperature is slowly reduced (this is called: cooled slower to prevent collapsing), so when the sus cake is out of the oven, it will be adjusting to the room temperature.

On first trial, I wasn't confident that the kue Sus wouldn't be well done. It did affect my spirit, so the Sus wasn't a success. The mixing was not solid enough, probably because too many eggs (though I've had measured it exactly the same as the recipe. Or it's probably because of the eggs. I used big egg, that has more liquid compared to normal egg). Too many liquid won't result in pretty kue Sus!

Now with the lucky spirit, I tried again, this time fully optimistic :) I carefully mix in the egg into the bowl one by one, as I still use the big eggs (not like the first trial which I put all the eggs together once), and I keep on watching the mixing.

Finally...here's my kue Sus! I've succeded in conquering it! It's not flat! *hehehe.. I'm such a dork!* Though I did not make it big, rather mini. For the filling, as I'm bored with the usual vla, I finally tried to make a vla butter cream with extra rhum. Hmmm.. YUMMY! Anyone who likes chicken ragout filling would do the same.

Bonne Chance! et Bon Appetit :)P
