Galletas de leche de Taiwan
Todo el mundo conoce el blog de Hilmar por sus maravillosas recetas de panes y galletas. Ahora publica sus recetas en Instagram.
Son galletas para niños que son muy famosas en Taiwán. Esta es la segunda vez que los hago....y les puedo decir que no solo están deliciosos, sino que el sabor es el mismo que los que pueden probar en Taiwán.
Galletas de leche de Taiwan (https://www.recetasfavoritashilmar.com/2012/11/barritas-de-leche.html)
50 g de mantequilla sin sal
80 g de azúcar glas
¼ cucharadita de sal
60 gramos de leche
250 g de harina para hornear o con levadura
20 gramos de leche en polvo
Tamizar la harina mezclada con la leche en polvo. Dejar de lado.
En una cacerola pequeña a fuego lento, mezcla la mantequilla, el azúcar glas y la sal. Mezclar hasta que todo esté integrado (solo por unos segundos).
Retirar del fuego, e inmediatamente agregar la mitad de la leche, mezclar muy bien con una cuchara de madera.
Agrega un tercio de la mezcla de harina y leche en polvo hasta que quede todo muy bien integrado. Agrega el resto de la harina alternando con el resto de la leche. Amasar a mano hasta que se forme una masa muy bien.
Coloca la masa entre dos láminas de film plástico de cocina, y con un rodillo la estiras hasta formar un rectángulo de 21x20cm aproximadamente. De 1 a 1,5 cm de espesor. Colócalo en el frigorífico durante 2 horas. Retirar del frigorífico y cortar las galletas de 1 a 1,5 cm de ancho. Coloca cada barra sobre la bandeja que ha sido cubierta con papel de horno o sobre una bandeja antiadherente, dejando dos centímetros de separación entre ellas. Colocar en horno precalentado a 165 C durante 20 minutos, apagar el horno y dejar en el horno 10 minutos más. Deben tener un color dorado claro por los cuatro lados. Retirar del horno, colocar las barritas sobre una rejilla y dejar enfriar por completo. Pintar con chocolate y decorar con coco rallado (opcional). ¡DISFRUTAR!

Everybody knows Hilmar's blog for her wonderful breads and cookies' recipes. Now, she post her recipes in Instagram.
These are cookies for kids that are very famous in Taiwan. This is the second time I make them....and I can tell you that not only they are delicious, but the taste is the same as the ones you can try in Taiwan.
Taiwanese milk cookies (https://www.recetasfavoritashilmar.com/2012/11/barritas-de-leche.html)
50 g unsalted butter
80 g icing sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
60 g milk
250 g baking or self-raising flour
20 g milk powder
Sift the flour mixed with the milk powder. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix the butter, icing sugar and salt. Mix until everything is integrated (only for a few seconds).
Remove from the heat, and immediately add half of the milk, mix very well with a wooden spoon.
Add a third of the flour and milk powder mixture until everything is very well integrated. Add the rest of the flour alternating with the rest of the milk. Knead by hand until a dough forms very well.
Place the dough between two sheets of plastic kitchen film, and with a rolling pin, stretch it to form a rectangle measuring approximately 21x20cm. 1 to 1.5 cm thick. Place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator, and cut the cookies 1 to 1.5 cm wide. Place each bar on the tray that has been covered with baking parchment paper or on a non-stick tray, leaving two centimeters of separation between them. Place in a preheated oven at 165 C for 20 minutes, turn off the oven and leave it in the oven for 10 more minutes. They should have a light golden color on all four sides. Remove from the oven, place the bars on a rack and let cool completely. Paint with chocolate and decorate with grated coconut (optional). ENJOY!

Champiñones con cebolla y ajo
Yo sigo en YouTube Spain on a Fork.Muestra recetas españolas que puedes hacer en menos de 10 minutos. Cuando vi estos champiñones con cebolla y ajo, ¡tuve que hacerlos de inmediato!
asadillo manchego de Ana
Mushrooms with onions and garlic
I follow Spain on a Fork in YouTube. It shows Spaniard recipes that you can make in less than 10 minutes. When I watched these Mushrooms with onions and garlic, I had to make it immediately!
I made some changes to use what I had at home.....
Mushrooms with onions and garlic
1 lbs white mushrooms (I used cremini mushrooms)
1 large onion
5 cloves garlic
2 tomatoes
1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp hot smoked Spanish paprika
1/4 tsp saffron threads
Olive oil
sea salt
black pepper
Wash and dry the mushrooms. Set aside
Cut the onion into thick rounds,chop the garlic, and grate the tomatoes.
In a pan with at medium high heat, place the olive oil. Place the mushroom and cook them 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown (total 8-9 minutes). Season it with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In the same pan with some extra olive oil, add the onions and cook them until they are golden brown. add the garlic, paprika (both), saffron and tomato. Season it with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce the tomatoes. Place the mushrooms back, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes. Place it on a serving dish with some fresh parsley (I didn't have parsley). ENJOY!!
I served with tortilla de patatas espanola and asadillo manchego from Ana...the asadillo manchego was delicious!!
