Pascha is more than just a festive baked good. It is a symbol, a tradition and a taste of childhood that brings back the fondest memories. And what can make Easter really special? The icing, of course.
The glaze is like a crown on the flavourful dough: snow-white, fluffy, with a delicate sheen. However, the classic protein icing sometimes fails – it sticks to the knife, or crumbles, or even falls off. That is why more and more hostesses are turning to the modern alternative – gelatin glaze, which looks flawless and behaves better. On the page olenazaec told how easy it is to prepare this delicious, delicate and practical glaze for Easter kulichi – easy to prepare even for beginners. This glaze has won the hearts of many hostesses because of its benefits:
- Non-sticky to hands and knife
- Does not crumble during slicing
- Maintains aesthetics even after several days of storage
- Has a pleasant texture and flavour
- Quickly prepared with affordable ingredients
- The perfect option for those who want the festive table to look exquisite and the dessert to be easy to cut without unnecessary difficulties.
Recipe
Ingredients:
- Quick-soluble gelatine 10 g
- Water for gelatin swelling 20 ml
- Sugar 200 g
- Syrup water 50 ml
Preparation
- Pour 20ml of cold boiled water over the gelatine and leave it to swell for 10-15 mins.
- In a small saucepan, mix the sugar with 50ml of water. Heat over a medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. The syrup should become clear but not caramelised.
- Add the swollen gelatin to the hot syrup. Stir well until the gelatine is completely dissolved. Important: Do not bring the mixture to the boil.
- Pour the syrup into a deep bowl and start beating with the mixer on high speed. After 5-7 minutes, the mixture will turn into a fluffy, white, firm foam – just the right amount to spread on the paski.
- Gelatine glaze hardens very quickly, so decorate the paska immediately after whipping. If it has set, no problem: just put the bowl with the glaze in a water bath for a few minutes and it will become elastic again.
Decorating
The finished icing can be further decorated:
- sprinkles
- coconut
- chopped nuts
- edible gold or pearlescent glitter
The glaze holds its shape perfectly and allows you to create a perfect “hat” that will not flow or crack the next day.
