Gradualmente agregar la mezcla de azúcar siempre batiendo
 por unos 3 minutos.
Reducir ls velocidad (si se ocupa batidora) y agregar de a uno los huevos mezclando bien, agregar la vainilla. Batir suavemente asegurándose de que está todo bien mezclado sin cúmulos de harina.

GRATIN DE ESPARRAGOS









 
 
Esta receta me pareció sencillamente deliciosa, aún se encuentran espárragos en algunas partes y en caso se podría hacer con espárragos en lata. En Concepción hace muchos años mi mamá hacía un consomé de espárragos, cuando tenía espárragos frescos ocupaba el liquido de cocción y con este hacía el consomé.
Cuando no habían espárragos frescos sencillamente ocupaba de esas latas de espárragos y la sopa igual quedaba maravillosa.
Si les interesa la receta la pondré más adelante es un consomé delicioso.
Estos budincitos parecen souflés y asi quedan solo que despues se bajan un poco pero son más como pequeños budines, muy buenos y livianos!
 
Ingredientes
 
(4/5 porciones)
 
500 gramos de espárragos
(guardar algunos para adornar)
3 huevos
1 taza de crema
1  1/4 taza  de queso rallado parmesano
sal y pimienta a gusto
 
Método
 
En una olla mediana o sartén poner agua y un poco de sal y agregar los espárragos lavados y limpios (si son los verdes no hay que pelarlos no es necesario)
Cocinar a fuego medio de 4 a 5 minutos lo necesario para que estén tiernos (despues se  terminaran de cocinar en el horno)
En un bol batir los huevos, agregar la crema y el queso rallado, batir bien, agregar los esparragos en trozos (reservar algunos)
y finalmente sal y pimienta.
Enmantequillar los moldes y repartir la mezcla . Precalentar el horno a 180° c llevar a horno por unos 15 a 20 minutos o hasta que esten dorados.

This month in Secret Recipe Club my assignment was a nice blog Feast on the cheap    and Mary Ann and Mariel (Mother and daughter) have a lot of  lovely recipes  and finally I choose this   Orange curd puff pastry tartlets because I love lemon curd and I wanna try this orange curd and was really amazing and all loved here.

Orange Curd Puff Pastry Tartlets Makes
about 10 to 12 tartlets
 
Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 heaping tablespoon of orange zest
3/4 cup of unsalted butter
3/4 cup of sugar
4 large eggs
1 package puff pastry sheets
 
Method
Preheat oven to 180 ° (360 f)
Cut the pastry sheets using a cookie cutter or knife I made 16 circles and the middle I cut the center so you make like a sandwich.
Bake about 15  minutes or according to package directions and then cool on wire racks.
In a bowl cream the butter with the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of orange zest until fluffy and pale.
Crak each egg into a cup then add the eggs one by one, until fully incorporated (cracking them into the cup will hwlp keep any accidentally broken eggshells out of your curd)
Slowly add the orange juice until well combined and smooth.
Pour the orange curd into a big saucepan and heat over low to medium low heat for about 15 minutes stirring constantly.Dont allow to boil. The curd will start to thicken and become very creamy then you know they are done.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Craefully spoon the orange curd over the circles of baked puff pastry shells and put over them the other circle of pastry like a sandwich.
Let cool and garnish with orange zest or some mint leaves.
Serve warm to room temperature.
