At a query about what to do with egg whites? Well you’ve come to the right blog! I am the egg white doer-upper! For years, I would throw out egg whites when a recipe called only for yolks. But wait, here’s what you can do, you can freeze them for later use. Tell family members “in the freezer there’s a glass, do not touch it !” (You can skip this step if it does not apply to you.) And every time you have an egg white just add to the glass and freeze. You can use a jam jar or glass and just cover it, add a post-it to remember how many egg whites you’ve added. When you’re ready to defrost, leave on the kitchen counter at least 5-7 hours. Once at room temperature you can whip them up nicely like I did here for a pavlova roll.
Here’s what you’ll need for the batter :
4-5 egg whites (defrosted or freshly separated)150 g caster sugar (1 cup)
1 teaspoon vinegar (or lemon juice)
2 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream filling and topping
120 cl cream, whipped up
120 g mascarpone or cream cheese
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
Jam filling
20 strawberries or other berries
1/2 cup sugar
Simmer for 20 min
Heat up oven 160 C (320 F). Whip up egg whites with a beater until they form stiff peaks. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time. Add other ingredients.
Allow to cool. Spread a clean tea towel on the counter, put a layer of parchment paper on top and dust with confectioners sugar. Lay cake gently on this spread, top part down. Peel off parchment paper off the bottom of cake.
Spread cream, then berries or homemade or raspberry or strawberry or rhubarb jam, or even lemon curd. Roll starting from width side, not length. Keep rolled in new parchment roll. Keep wrapped with tea towel. Cool in fridge overnight or a few hours.
Decorate with more cream and berries.
Huiler le moule rectangulaire et ajouter du papier sulfurisé. Étalez la pâte uniformément. Cuire au four de 12 à 15 minutes. Selon votre four, 160 C pendant 10 min et 5 min 140 C, ou four à air. Laisser refroidir. Étalez un torchon propre sur le comptoir, posez une couche de papier sulfurisé sur le dessus et saupoudrez de sucre en poudre. Déposer doucement le gâteau sur cette tartinade, partie supérieure vers le bas. Retirez le papier parchemin du fond du gâteau. Tartiner la crème, puis les baies ou la confiture maison ou framboise ou fraise ou rhubarbe, ou encore le lait caillé de citron. Rouleau à partir du côté de la largeur, pas de la longueur. Gardez roulé dans un nouveau rouleau de parchemin. Gardez enveloppé avec un torchon. Laisser refroidir au réfrigérateur pendant la nuit ou quelques heures.
So, So good. I am getting fat just looking at it.
