Egg Mousse Pastry II
mel did one a few days back i think, i decided to make that again. it seems pretty fun.. eheh
Ingredients
Pastry 200g flour 100g butter a handful of finely chopped coriander 60g water
Filling 4 hard boiled eggs 3 crabstick mayonese 1 tbsp dijon mustard chopped coriander salt n pepper (optional)
mix flour and butter till resemble fine crumbs, u can use a dough mixing thing, or use for to break the butter n mix with the flour. add in coriander and mix again add in water, abit at the time.. use hands and knead it into a doughball. keep in the fridge for 30 minutes. take out, roll, flip, fold, roll, fold, fold a couple of times n roll.. roll out into a sheet, then keep in the fridge for 30 mins again. take out, press with mould and bake at moderate temperature (180-190 C) for 15 mintues or till golden brown.
mash the hard boil eggs and crabstick together. make sure it's really smashed. add in mayo and mix mix mix, then add mustard and mix mix mix. add in coriander and salt and pepper if needed. combine them really well, and make sure the eggs are thoroughly mashed.
put the filling in a piping bag, with a nozzle. pipe the filling out on the baked pastry.. if the eggs are not mashed till it's very very small, it's quite hard to press it out..
dough in various shapes...

done!! not very pretty tho..
mm
i think the dough's a bit flour-y...so..maybe u can reduce it..or add butter.. but the topping is nice.. the trick is..a bit of mustard..
enjoy!
