Dulce le leche

I promised, here we go.
You can use any condensed milk, but I strongly recommend that if you decide to make dulce le leche, make a lot, because it needs time, and energy (the oven is on 220 C for two hours...)

A middle-sized jar could be filled with two tubes of condensed milk. So if you like caramel, buy a lot, and make it on a cooler day :))



Ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk

Method
Preheat the oven for 220 C.
Put the condensed milk in a heatproof bowl (glass, obviously). Place it in a baking tray. Boil water, and when the oven is ready, fill the tray with boiled water - the top of the water has to be at the half of the heatproof bowl.
Immediately, cover the tray with foil, and put it in the oven. It is going to be ready in 2 hours. In every 1/2 hour, put it out, replace the foil, mix it with a wooden spoon, than put the foil back immediately, and put back in the oven. 

When it is ready, let cool completely, than fill it in jars.

Chocolate biscuits with dulce le leche

Wow. This is all what I can say about this stunning little thing. I adapted this recipe from my favorite blog Call me cupcake!, which is also kind of a role model for me. 
This was the first time I made dulce le leche, and I strongly recommend to you, if you dont have any at home, don't make it when you want to bake the biscuits too. Or if you do, don't start it at 7 pm, as I did and got out of the kitchen at 10:30! And what is really important: dulce le leche has to be cold when you use it, because in the case of this sweetness, it means it is ready. I used it when it was still warm, and I really mind it now, because I know it would be much more nice if it were thick when I put it in the biscuits... But it is still gorgeus and I can't wait to try it out again!

Oh, and if any of guys like the triple-chocolate biscuit in McCafé - this is it. I mean I tasted it once in McCafé, but I strongly remember, and it is the same, seriously!

Ha nincs otthon kész dulce le leche, és nem akarunk nekiállni, anélkül is működik a recept természetesen. Érdemes még nutellával is kipróbálni. A dulce le lechet én innen készítettem el.
Szerintem a talléroknak egy az egyben ugyanolyan ízük van, mint az egyik gyorsétteremben kapható triplacsokis keksznek.:)



Ingredients:

110 g butter
300 g caster sugar (I know, awfully a lot... close your eyes while adding it!)
40 g cocoa powder
pinch of salt
100 g dark chocolate
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking soda
260 g flour
dulce le leche (I am going to share my recipe for it soon)

Hozzávalók:


110 g vaj
300 g nádcukor
40 g kakaópor
100 g étcsoki
csipet só
2 tojás
1/4 tk szódabikarbóna
260 g liszt
dulce le leche






Method:


Melt the butter, add the sugar, salt and cocoa powder, then the chocolate Mix it and wait while it becomes hot. Let cool for a while. While it is getting cooler, mix the flour and baking soda together.
Add the two eggs to the chocolate mixture (important: DO NOT add the eggs when it is hot. Unless you want some fried eggs seasoned with chocolate). Mix it completely, then add it to the flour-mixture. Mix everything together. It is the best to do with your hands.


Preheat the oven to 175 C, and put the dough aside for 30 minutes.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Separate the dough in 1/3 - 2/3 proportion. From the bigger piece, make the base of the biscuit. Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and flat a little bit. Put it on the paper, and using your fingers, make a well in the centre. Fill it with dulce le leche. From the rest of the dough, flatten a piece, and cover the well. 
Bake for about 10-12 minutes.

Egy lábasban megolvasztjuk a vajat, hozzáadjuk a cukrot, a sót és a kakaóport. Elkeverjük, hozzáadjuk a csokit, majd megvárjuk, míg a csoki elolvad. Levesszük a tűzről, éslehűtjük.
Összekeverjük a lisztet és a szódabikarbónát.
A kihűtött csokis keverékbe rakjuk a tojásokat, jól elkeverjük.
A csokis keveréket a liszthez adjuk, és összekeverjük. A leggyorsabban kézzel van meg.
30 percig hűtjük.
A tésztát 1/3 - 2/3 arányban kettéválasztjuk. A nagyobb tésztadarabból diónyi golyókat formázunk, egy kicsit összelapítjuk őket, és sütőpapírral bélelt tepsire tesszük.
A golyók közepébe az ujjunkkal lyukat nyomunk, és dulce le leche-t kanalazunk bele.
A kisebb darab tésztából vékony lapocskákat nyomunk, ezzel takarjuk be a sütiket. Nem baj, ha a karamell itt-ott "kikandikál".
175 fokon 12 percig sütjük. Kb. 30 db tallér lesz belőle.
