Cooking method

  • Preparation
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)The day before, prepare the dough: break an egg into a bowl, add water, a good pinch of salt, a tablespoon of butter, and then, gradually adding flour, knead the dough (I kneaded the dough in a bread machine). The dough should be soft. Check the texture, if you press your finger on the dough, then the dimple from the finger should disappear, and the dough should return to its original position. Finish the process by beating the dough well with a rolling pin.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy) Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)Place the dough in a plastic food bag, pour in 150 ml of butter, close the bag, cover and set aside overnight.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)Prepare your apples. Cut them into thin strips, pour over cognac, stir and also leave overnight.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)The next day, cover a table with a diameter of about 1.30 m (the table may be rectangular) with a clean cloth or tablecloth. Place the dough in the center of the table,
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy) Pastis (Pastis du Quercy) Pastis (Pastis du Quercy) start gradually stretching the dough to the edges, being careful not to damage it so that holes do not appear. This should be done slowly and very carefully. Let the dough dry for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment. If necessary, dry with a hair dryer, lifting up.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)Sprinkle melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)Prepare the mold, grease it with oil. Draw circles on the dough with a knife that are slightly larger than the size of the mold. Put them in a mold, greasing with oil, 7 to 8 circles.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)Add sugar to the apples and stir. Put the apples in a mold on the dough, on top of another 3 or 4 circles of dough, which should also be smeared with butter,
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy) and then crease a few sheets and lay them on top to add volume. I have shown this method of preparing pastis. There are other ways as well. In particular, this is when apples are evenly laid out on the dough, then it is rolled into a roll using a tablecloth, after which the resulting roll is twisted with a snail.
  • Pastis (Pastis du Quercy)Bake at 180 C for about 30 minutes. Eat warm.

Note

Pastis (Pastis) is a confection made from a very thin and transparent dough, distributed mainly in Kersey. County Quersy (fr. Comté de Quersy) - a fiefdom in the south of France with the capital in the city of Cahors.
Traditionally, Pastis was prepared for religious and family holidays.
The recipe is not known for certain, since every family keeps it secret and passes on the secret of cooking from generation to generation. Nevertheless, the ingredients of the recipe are known - they are water, flour, eggs, salt, oil and alcohol. It is believed that Pastis is without alcohol, not Pastis! Alcohol is a must. It is either Armagnac or plum moonshine, rum can also be used. Although the ingredients of the recipe are known, the technology for making it requires skill and skill, the most difficult thing is to stretch the dough with your hands on a table long (more than 2 meters!) To the desired thickness (like tissue paper) so that it does not break.
Pastis is not easy to buy. It can only be found in the market townships of Tarn et Garonne (Montauban and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val markets). But you can always buy at the Cahors market.

Yes, that's an option! At first I also wanted to do it with him, but ... we didn’t look for easy ways ... To be honest, it’s quite difficult, without the skill to make and stretch such a dough, I didn’t achieve the desired condition the first time.
Irina, thank you for these words

The stretching process is truly mesmerizing. And I will return to the recipe more than once. Taking into account the various nuances that became clear in the process, I want to get as close as possible to the ideal result.

Gala, Galya, I see a familiar name. Recently I read the book "Hotel" Pastis ". I did not know that pastis is a confectionery product, a small miracle that you have sculpted. Thank you double!
Gala
Svetlanka, Svettika, $ vetLana , Thank you!

SvetaI think it means a drink. Pastis is a popular variety of alcoholic anise liqueur (liquor) produced in France. The strength of the drink is 35-45 degrees, which must include anise and licorice. The drink may contain other herbs and spices (more than 50 items). It is sometimes also called French aniseed vodka.

Stunned. Aerobatics Gala, well, you have patience. The taste is probably such a creamy apple? It looks just gorgeous. I have never pulled dough in my life, there is no big table, but I pull the recipe into the hole. Very good
Gala
Sveta, Thank you!

Galya, thanks to you, now I know, besides the book, two more Pastis - a wonderful delicacy and alcohol
Gala
Sveta, alcohol is not for everybody's taste, it has a specific taste, not everyone likes
$ vetLana
Galina, Galya, you're right. Anise and licorice - my option. My- Amaretto and Lawyer

A very interesting recipe, I want to try to implement it - but just stretch the dough right away? Can I first roll it around with a rolling pin? I can roll dough on a large rolling pin the size of a large table), but you need to sprinkle it with flour, you probably can't?
Gala
ramenka, only stretch! No need for a rolling pin, no matter how masterly you own it. Yes, you need to dust the tablecloth a little with flour. Dough, done correctly, is very flexible and stretches easily, you just need to take your time and have patience. Another important point: dry it, but not dry it out, otherwise it will simply break and you will not make anything out of it. And if you don't stretch it thin enough, you get noodles
ramenka
Thanks for the answer, I'll try)
