Hi guys, this recipe
has been requested since so long, many of you don’t know about this cake,
So let me tell you
about it. It is a biscuit filled with jam and covered
with a pink coloured icing.
Napolitaines is very
famous in mauritius. It is often made in different shapes
And sizes as well.
Let me introduce this recipe to you
(makes 25-30 napolitaines)
Ingredients:
375g butter (good quality butter)
500g plain flour
¼ tsp Salt
( if you are using salted butter,
no
need to add salt)
Strawberry jam
Pink food colouring
Method:
Preheat your oven at
160 degrees celcius
In a bowl, add flour
and salt.
Mix until well
combined, add the softened butter.
Mix until well combined.
Rub in for about
5-10 min until a coarse
meal is obtained.
Form a soft ball.
Wrap it in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 min
After 30 min, the
dough is no more sticky, place it on 2 sheets of parchement
Paper so as it doesn’t
stick to your rolling pin. Roll out the dough evenly
About 1 cm thick
Cut out shapes, with
a cookie cutter
Place on a tray lined
with parchment paper
Bake for 15-20
minutes
**keep an eye on
them, they should not have a golden colour,
Gently press in the
middle, if they are no longer soft, that means
they are ready.
Let them cool down on
a rack
Gently spoon ½ tsp of
jam in the center of one biscuit
Place another biscuit
on top and gently press together.
Place on a grill with
a baking tray beneath
For the Icing:
Add the sifted icing
sugar in a sauce pan, add food colouring
And 7 tbsp of water
Place on very low
heat, DON’T BOIL
Stir vigorously until
well combined. Remove from heat
**THE ICING SHOULD BE
THICK ENOUGH, TO COAT THE
NAPOLITAINE ENTIRELY.
Immediately, Scoop
out the icing and pour
On the napolitaine
until entirely coated
**IF YOUR ICING
BECOMES TOO DRY, PLACE IT ON LOW HEAT AND ADD ENOUGH WATER
UNTIL A THICK CONSISTENCY IS OBTAINED.
Let the icing dry
complety.
And here you are. Finally done :)
