KBB #19 : Hip Hip Horayy!! Happy 3rd Birthday!

Hip hip Horay! Happy birthday buat KBB. Gak kerasa udah 3 tahun usianya dan udah hampir 3 tahun pula gue ikutan gabung. Banyak banget ilmu perbakingan yang gue dapet dari klub ini, belum lagi jalinan pertemanan yang sangat akrab, walopun banyak di antara kita yang belum pernah saling bertemu. Semoga ke depannya KBB makin eksis dan temen-temen tetep semangat ngerjain tantangan dan berbagi ilmu-ilmunya *group hugs*.

Awalnya bingung mau bikin apa? Akhirnya diputuskan bikin yang pas gue absen aja. Walaupun sebenernya udah pernah juga bikin lattice pie tapi seringnya yang manis. Sekalian bikin buat bekal mbak Arwen, jadilah gue bikin Creamy Chicken Pie (Puff Pastry-nya beli jadi aja deh ya, gak sanggup bikin sendiri ditongkrongin Neo...hahaha). Sebenernya bikin chicken pie ini sampe 2 kali. Yang pertama salah beli pastry...main samber aja dari fridge di SPM...lah kok taunya Fillo Pastry *dudul*. Kalo mau coba bikin classic puff pastry sendiri (gampang loh), bisa liat resepnya di sini.



Ini resep isian ayamnya :

Creamy Chicken
Bahan :
3 potong dada ayam
oregano
3 bawang putih, geprek
2sdm butter untuk menumis
bawang bombai
daging asap
2sdm tepung terigu
100ml air kaldu rebusan ayam
50ml whipped cream cair
keju parut secukupnya

Cara membuat :
1. Rebus ayam dengan bawang putih dan oregano sampai matang. Angkat, dinginkan, suwir-suwir.
2. Tumis bawang putih dan bawang bombay hingga wangi, masukkan daging ayam suwir dan daging asap. Bumbui dengan pala bubuk, merica dan garam secukupnya.
3. Masukkan tepung terigu, aduk-aduk hingga rata, siram dengan air kaldu. Tuang whipped cream cair. Aduk rata.
4. Taburi keju parut, aduk lagi hingga merata. Sisihkan dan siap digunakan.



Setelah bikin Chicken Pie, lah kok malah ketagihan pengen bikin yang lain-lain yang pernah jadi tantangan KBB. Gak sengaja liat status Riana Pennylane lagi ngomongin Lemon Cake...jiyahhh gue latah pengen bikin Lime/Lemon Meringue Pie. Dikomporin pulak sama beliau. Ya sut...yuk mari brangkat!! Akhirnya bikin pie crust-nya pake resep dari tantangan Banoffee Pie. Isi lime curd-nya hasil googling. Meringue-nya pake resep tantangan Chocolate Swirl Meringue (tapi gue modified).
