👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the plantain filling: Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into thirds. Place in a saucepan with a little water and simmer until tender, about 5-10 minutes. Drain any excess water.
2
Mash the cooked plantains until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional red food coloring. Mix well and set aside to cool.
3
Prepare the pastry: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter and shortening using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Gradually add the ice-cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead lightly, then wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
5
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a 4-inch round cutter.
7
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the plantain filling onto the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough in half to create a half-moon shape, sealing the edges with a fork.
8
Place the tartlets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg white and sprinkle with a little extra sugar.
9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before serving.
