Takoucha

Fez & North·Medium·35 min

薄层酥皮叠在一起,浇蜂蜜黄油糖浆,切块。是摩洛哥版的千层酥,口感酥脆甜润,斋月和节庆做。

层酥蜜糕是摩洛哥版的千层酥,薄层酥皮,可能用瓦卡面皮或菲洛酥皮,一层层叠起来,层间刷黄油,烤至金黄,浇上蜂蜜黄油糖浆。它与已有的杏仁蛇形糕同属层酥甜点家族,但塔库查不带馅,纯粹是酥皮和糖浆的组合。这道菜在斋月和节庆期间做,配茶吃。层酥的关键在于每一层都极薄、层间黄油均匀,烤后层次分明、酥脆如玻璃。这道菜反映了摩洛哥对酥皮技术的精湛掌握。

极酥、极脆、极甜。每一层酥皮都碎裂如玻璃,蜂蜜黄油糖浆把碎片黏在一起。

薄酥皮在烘烤时层间的黄油熔化、水分蒸发,使每层面皮独立酥脆。蜂蜜糖浆趁热浇上,通过酥皮裂缝的毛细作用渗入各层。糖浆须温热不可滚烫,太热则酥皮回软,太凉则不渗透。

Variations

有的在层间撒碎杏仁。加肉桂粉调味。用玫瑰水代替橙花水。

How it's made

6 steps · 35 min

  1. 1
    8 min

    Layer 10 sheets of warqa or phyllo in a buttered tray, brushing each with melted butter.

  2. 2
    8 min

    Bake at 180 degrees C for 20 min until golden.

    Watch out

    Bake the phyllo until evenly deep golden and crisp right through — pale patches stay flabby and won't drink the syrup.

  3. 3
    5 min

    Make syrup: 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup butter, 2 tbsp orange-blossom water; simmer 5 min.

  4. 4
    5 min

    Pour the hot syrup over the hot pastry.

    Watch out

    Pour the syrup warm — not scalding — over the hot pastry so it wicks down through the cracks; too hot and it goes soggy, too cool and it just sits on top.

  5. 5
    3 min

    Cool; cut into diamonds.

  6. 6
    2 min

    Serve.
