How do we not have a Strawberry Greats thread?? :)

"Waltz the dumplings throught the buttered cake crumbs..." Richard, I am having so much fun quoting

you today. This is definitely an Austrian recipe!

 
From reading these posts, I see that mboley tried and loved the Strawberry Cream Pie. We now have

at least 3 who loved it, so I'm posting it in T&T.

 
REC: Ingredients: Tasteless Mealy Strawberries. Directions: Throw in garbage and feel good about it.

 
Many thanks for all of your posts Richard!

I made the green peppercorn recipe--quite good!!

 
You're welcome!

Lots of wonderful Austrian strawberry recipes. They do love their strawberries. That Green peppercorn recipe is very unusual and so "adult"

 
Made it again this weekend and finally transferred my comments to the copy in my computer. I find

that this woman's recipes always need adjusting but they have huge merit in general. Her show also needs a good editor.

Savarin

1½ teaspoons Yeast
3 tablespoons warm Water
1 t. sugar

2 large Eggs lightly beaten 2 tablespoons Milk
1 grated Lemon Zest 1 cup Flour
2 t. sugar ½ teaspoon Salt

50 g Butter softened

Syrup Cream:
1/4 c. water 500 ml heavy Cream
1/4 c. sugar 1½ tablespoons Sugar
½ c. Triple Sec Drops of vanilla extract

fresh strawberries hulled and halved or quartered, a few handsfull
Mint leaf for garnish, if desired

Butter and flour a 10-inch/25 cm ring mould.

Mix the yeast, 1 t. sugar and warm water in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Add the eggs, milk, remaining sugar, salt, lemon zest and flour. Beat vigorously in a stand-up mixture with paddle attachment for a full 10 minutes. This is necessary to make the dough smooth and elastic, pulling away from the sides of the bowl, which will result in a very light, fine-textured cake. Cover and let rise in a warm place about an hour.

Punch down the dough.

Beat in the softened butter, a piece at a time, until fully incorporated. Spoon the mixture into the mold, evenly. Cover, and let rise again two hours. Use extreme care when transferring the risen dough.

Heat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Bake the Savarin until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Unmold onto a cooling rack, then transfer to a large serving platter.

Syrup
For the syrup, bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan 1 minute. Stir in the Triple Sec. Ladle the syrup over the cake, until fully absorbed. The cake will expand and become very sponge-like in texture.
