LEMON THYME WAFERS



Lemon Thyme Wafers image

Although usually associated with savory dishes, fresh herbs can put a distinctive twist on classic desserts, such as these lemon wafers. A member of the mint family, thyme lends its flavor to the recipe through infusion -- a process in which herbs, spices, citrus peels, or flowers are steeped in boiling liquid until their flavor is absorbed.

Yield Makes about 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup heavy cream
4 strips lemon zest (1 1/2 inches)
3 sprigs thyme, plus 2 tablespoons picked thyme leaves, for sprinkling
4 large egg whites
1 cup superfine sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
Pinch of salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine cream, lemon zest, and thyme sprigs, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove saucepan from heat, and allow the flavors to infuse the cream, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour cream through a sieve, and reserve.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and sugar until well combined. Whisk in flour and salt. Add melted butter, cream mixture, and lemon extract, and whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour batter into a medium pastry bag fitted with a #11 round tip. Pipe silver-dollar-size (about 1 inch across) circles onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Sprinkle each cookie with the picked thyme leaves, and bake for 15 minutes, or until edges turn brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

MARTHA STEWART'S CA. 1995 BEST LEMON CURD



Martha Stewart's Ca. 1995 Best Lemon Curd image

When Martha Stewart first published this recipe in her Martha Stewart Living Magazine in 1995, she had an entire article explaining the "where's/how's/and what not to do's" with regards to lemon curd. I had only ever purchased lemon curd prior to this recipe, and wasn't impressed with it. Too thick, too tart and short shelf life for the very high price. THIS recipe changed my mind: soft, teasingly tart, the ability to make it tarter or softer in flavour all had me saying "THIS IS THE WORLD'S BEST LEMON CURD!!!" I've never tried another recipe since, even Martha's "New & Improved" curd recipes, where she seems to have forgotten what she taught us fans of hers, so many years ago. According to the article, the reasons why THIS curd recipe is so superior is the following:1) Beating the egg yolks until rich yellow and then straining the first time creates a smooth, albumen-free base. 2) Cooking the mixture WITHOUT the zest creates a "softer", less bitter curd. Cooked zest just becomes more bitter, even without the white pith. 3) A second straining removes any possibility of "scrambled eggs" from your curd! 4) Adding the chilled butter, cut into pieces, to the eggs does two things: it rapidly cools down the curd so it doesn't continue to cook and also the buttery flavour is not changed by cooking with the yolks! 5) Adding the zest after the curd is cooled creates a smooth, flavourful but not bitter curd! Are these steps too many for some people? Oh, I'm sure of it, especially the straining steps. And some curd recipes have you dump everything together in the pan so that sure makes it simple. However, after 15 years of making this one curd recipe, I've found the little bit of extra time involved in creating it makes for a superiour end product. NOTE: If you do not want a dense, eggy Lemon Curd, use WHOLE EGGS for the recipe, rather than egg yolks. That would be four whole eggs to the six egg yolks.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 egg yolks, beaten (adding whites makes it lighter and less rich)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, strained
1/2 cup unsalted butter (COLD and cut into small pieces to melt faster )
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks until well blended and lemon yellow in colour. Strain the egg yolks through a sieve into a medium-size heavy saucepan. (Sieving removes any shells or albumen; heavy saucpan prevents curdling.).
  • Add the sugar and lemon juice, stir to combine, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 10-15 minutes. DO NOT HURRY THE PROCESS OR THE EGGS WILL CURDLE!
  • Cook until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and immediately pour through another sieve to catch any "scrambled egg bits". Pour into a heat proof 4 cup measuring cup and stir in the cold butter pieces, which cools down the mixture quickly.
  • Add the rind, continue stirring until well-blended.
  • Transfer to whatever storage container you want: either a large one or several samll ones.
  • Shelf Life: MUST BE REFRIGERATED! Keeps 2 weeks.
  • Variations:.
  • Lime Curd: substitute lime juice and increase grated lime peel to 2 tablespoons.
  • Orange Curd: Use orange juice, decrease sugar to 2/3 cup. 1 tablespoon orange peel.
  • Grapefruit Curd: Use grapefruit juice, same sugar and zest as lemon curd.
