A traditional sweet with a modern turn
Easter is a special time to enjoy traditional sweets, and Jordi Cruz, a chef recognized for his ability to innovate, offers us a unique reinterpretation of the classic torrijas. Instead of regular bread, its creative approach uses biscuits, providing a light texture and exceptional taste.
Ingredients needed for innovative recipe
To carry out this delicious version of the Torrijas, you will need the following ingredients:
List of ingredients
– Four biscuits
– a cup of sugar
– two eggs
– cinnamon powder
– Olive oil
– milk
– Anise stars
– 10 grams of corn
– a cinnamon stick
– lemon peel
Step by step: Preparation of the Torrijas
The first step is to prepare the infused milk. Heat the milk with the lemon peel and the cinnamon stick until it reaches a boil, then remove it from the heat and let it rest so that the flavors fuse. It is advisable to strain the milk and let it cool in the fridge throughout the night to enhance its aroma.
The next morning, soak the biscuits in infused milk until they are well impregnated. Beat the eggs and pass the cakes through this mixture before frying them in hot olive oil until golden. Then place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
The final detail for a perfect finish
After letting them cool, it shakes a mold or knife to get an attractive presentation. If you have infused milk left over, heat and mix with diluted corn in a little cold milk and egg yolk. Cook until you get a thick cream, without lumps.
When serving, place a portion of cream in the center of the dish, add the torrija on top and sprinkle with cinnamon and anise. Jordi Cruz recommends that the surface be caramelized with a kitchen blow, adding a crunchy touch that will make this recipe a successful success.
A sweet that will not leave anyone indifferent
This proposal by Jordi Cruz not only redefines a classic, but also brings a new dimension to the celebration of Easter. Their creativity and respect for traditions are reflected in each bite, turning the Torrijas into a memorable experience for all lovers of gastronomy.
