WA cakes: Azuki Denishu

"Denishu" (?????) means as much as "Danish", so here is a type of pastry, namely "Danish Pastry", this is the English name for a Plunderteig. Plunderteig very many different small pies are made like just pastries, croissants and many more.  Cat called such small cake always "particles", these are well known in the area where he comes from (cute :-)). This type of Plunderteig is known since 1960 in Japan and was probably directly from a Japanese Baker in the country of the rising sun brought, hence the name. Of course the Japanese would not, if this pastry could, customized the tastes to fill it with Anko is a widespread variant, often with a whole Kuri Kanroni in the middle.

Made Plunderteig also croissants, my Denishu dough is from finished "fresh" Croissant dough in the can. Simply to can, roll, fill backen-finished. Best I until now the sort of "Chocolate" found the chocolate is going though but in an extra bags, the dough is also particularly crispy and the most important thing he has just the right size, small squares. At the "normal" doses Croissant dough must be the two triangles can be "glued" together and cut in the middle. I hope that this canned cheese pastries is known to many, and can understand what I meine(wenn_nicht,_sp?testen_nach_dem_?ffnen_der_Dose_wird_es_klar_sein,_ich_habe_n?mlich_aus_Gier_vergessen,_Bilder_zu_machen,_weil_Hunger).;-)

By the way, when studying the ingredients, this dough purely vegetable ist(eigentlich), can but be included tracks (egg/milk) reveals. So I ask people with food intolerances and vegan, just read, I can well imagine that there is something in health food store but without "Tracks". Croissant dough is a Plunderteig with butter or margarine made with butter it be described as "Butter Croissant" (according to food provisions). Not this "tracks" were it would be a vegan pastry. Or, is the batter himself forth, but honestly, that would be no "WA cakes" Yes more, it should be so quickly and easily.

The chestnut trees can be replaced with roasted walnut pieces, I personally find the combination of walnut and Anko almost better. Best this azuki Denishu straight from the oven are still warm, with a cup of dampening hot green tea simply heavenly at these temperatures.:-)

For 6 pieces
1 Pack chocolate batter in a can
sweet bean paste 200 g Tsubu to (doses Anko is possible)
4-5 Kuri Kanroni or roasted Kastanien(amaguri) out of the bag some Walnut halves
Crowning glory for brushing:
2 El Mirin
1 El maple syrup

Dough in the can there actually in almost every supermarket in cooling the Croissant, has the image to see the normal version.

Roast walnuts 5 minutes without fat in a frying pan until they are a bit darker and smell good. Kuri Kanroni from glass take, drain, cut into small pieces and the bean paste mix (Similarly also Anko is prepared, which is used for filling Kuri Dorayaki).

Open the can and carefully roll the doorbell and split into pieces for such "seams" are already in the dough. Place the pieces of dough on a baking sheet with parchment paper and once trial fold every corner to the Center, so you can see where you want the fill. Then apply to each dough square 2 El of the Anko mix and wait a little. Collapse the corners and hang up a piece in the Middle Kuri Kanroni or half of a walnut.

Mirin and maple syrup mix, so that coated the "particles" twice: the first time before baking, and even after that.
Bake Oven preheated to 180C? in 15 minutes, here you must adjust somewhat times and temperatures the own oven. On the packaging indicates 200C? and 20 minutes, it was for me too long/hot, the first time they have become too Brown and slightly bitter.
Immediately after baking remove Kuri Kanroni brush again with the gloss Enamel, and otherwise they dry out. The brush the pastry Gets an attractive Sheen and tastes even crispier.

Just cool, but necessarily still warm sipping a cup of hot green tea enjoy superbly at these temperatures!


The Anko particles taste of course out cold, and security with other tea or even coffee.

Tip: If you topped it with Walnut halves, it must be roasted not afraid.

Actually I wanted to write another article, but this is just SO good, especially when it is served hot, I had to share it instantly ;-).

Japanese lemon cake with yuzu

Yuzu, the Japanese lemon is an incredibly aromatic fruit, their scent is truly unique: a mixture of powerful lemon/lime with strong grapefruit touch and a little Mandarin, hard to describe because it is really unique. Of course a fruit like yuzu is ideal for all possible candy: cakes, desserts or Wagashi in Kyoto are e.g. yuzu mochi, I would like to try necessarily soon. Because of the wonderful aroma fresh or dried yuzu is a much used spice in the Japanese kitchen Bowl also: in clear soups, of course as dressing salad-like dishes like Sunomono, about Udon noodles sprinkled or various fish dishes.


Unfortunately fresh yuzu lemon with us are hard to get and when, then in a big city in a gourmet or specialties business. Has someone already spotted fresh yuzu Germany? Would really be interested. Other yuzu products are not available until the dried skin, sometimes called the yuzu-ko (yuzu powder). Sometimes it can get yuzu juice in online trading, but often at a price that is simply too high if one considers that bottle juice will never have the intensity of the fresh fruit. Fortunately Yuja-cha there (also yuzu Cha) a yuzu-based "jam" which is really a tea (or rather: a tea which is a jam). These "tea" I had used ever in the cake, but with ume taste, Japanese green Plum (or apricot). This type of tea comes from Korea, there is the thick syrup with hot water mixed and served in the Korean tea ceremony. There are several flavors, yuzu is the classic. This syrup/jam can be used in many sweet things, the taste is really good, just for the "pure" pleasure (e.g. in cr?pes) I find less suitable, in contrast to the plum tea. This is due to the slightly bitter cup of yuzu lemon that is abundant, but if you like the classic English Orange jams, will have his joy also.I like them so much, but Yujacha is well suited for baking.


Lemon cake called remon keki in Japan??????, small, aromatic cake as a lemon are very popular, so there are even special baking molds for this. Here is an online store offering it as an example. I get a recipe for such cake over a year ago, unfortunately it was not a particularly gutes-dry, little taste, just boring (now other recipes have accumulated still 4-5). Since that time have I "worked", there were definitely 20 attempts. This huge obsession ;-) came partly because because firstly, I absolutely wanted to develop the "perfect" lemon cake (because the lemon forms that I already had), and secondly because my cat prefer like this cake. Any kind of lemon cake is it right to mainly with thick lemon glaze. He was particularly excited from the idea to bake the cake in the shape of a lemon, he always says stick I should even both halves "together", resulting in a "whole" lemon. :-) But only with the yuzu jam is it very good become delicious juicy and lemon, not too sweet.The previous attempts with lemon juice or syrup were not so true. The preparation is not difficult and woe if nobody talk the cake nachbackt…dann anymore to you… ;-)


The yuzu there of course at Dae Yang jam, what else should be considered, the rest of the dough.The key to the (almost) perfect lemon cake was ultimately the dough must necessarily several hours more, in the refrigerator overnight rest.Until then, it will be wonderful juicy.With a cup of good tea best yuzu or orange blossom oolong, it really is a real treat.


2 Eggs
70 g butter, melted, not tanned (for melt 90 g)
80 g Hakuriki ko wheat flour
80 g sugar
1 g baking powder
2 Tsp finely grated lemon peel,
1 TL yuzu powder
30 g honey
50 g yuzu jam


Glaze
1-2 El fresh squeezed lemon juice
100 g icing sugar


The eggs should come directly out of the fridge, half an hour before please remove.
Instead of Hakuriki ko also 70 g Weizenmehl(Typ410) and 10 g strength can be used, but the soft flour better.
Because the dough to rest, it is better to use a professional baking powder which only works in the Backoffen here.


The 70 g melted butter requires 90 g, a little more, because the moisture evaporates.To melt the butter over medium heat in a pot until have dropped, then allow to cool the butter milk components to the ground.


Mix flour with baking powder and seven.The eggs in a bowl beat and put up with the sugar slightly frothy.Honey and yuzu deal jam, briefly lemon zest and Yuzupulver embezzled, then.The cooled butter stir, is now important to stir it if the flour is dealt very little.Flour and baking powder in seven and quickly smooth stir with a whisk, no longer with a Elektror?hrstab.


Feed, preferably resealed, and make night in the fridge for several hours over no refrigerator smells in the dough.
The next day the Backoffen to 160 ? C Preheat.Small shapes (muffin molds are suitable, or small boat forms) coating with butter and sprinkle with a little flour.Only about 3 / 4 full moulds with the dough, make no longer.


In the preheated Backoffen medium rail slide and at 160 ? C approx. 15-18 minutes backen.Beim necessarily a baking with water make filled dish in the oven, because of the steam.Bake can vary slightly depending on the oven, here one must be careful, the cake should be not too long in it, otherwise it can be dry.Best make a swab test, it should come out clean after 15 minutes, it is not the case, nor further bake for 2-3 minutes.The cake should be golden brown and rather just rise.When a hill forms (like on the picture), the temperature is too high.
Cool shortly after baking and remove from the form.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar a thick glaze mix and apply to each cake, allow 2-3 hours to dry.The quantities for the frosting I am very insecure, I'm always feeling down, the frosting should be very thick.Nice evenly it if you simply dips the cakes in the glaze, then a little drain and turn around.


This Japanese page there is a lemon cake test where the best lemon cake.From a "lemon cake team" tested.:-D
