Meil peres sefiirisööjaid vaid 2 (kui taksikoera mitte arvestada, sest talle kindlasti ka oleks sefiir mokkamööda kui vaid kätte saaks), vähendasin munakogust kuuelt neljale. Sefiiri tegemine oli superlihtne kuigi ma algul just seda osa pisut kartsin, siis hoopistükis korvikeste tegemisega ei õnnestunud mul just kõige paremini... Küpsetasin korvikesi pahupidi sufleevormi välisküljel, et korvike seest täis ei kerkiks. Kõik oli väga kena kuni sinnamaani kuni mu korvikeste küljed põhjast eraldusid ja sufleevormipidi alla voolasid, poole küpsemise peal. Noh, mis sellest korvikessest ikka, sefiir on niisamagi hea, eksju! :) Paar pilti sain ikka klõpsitud ka, sest sefiirikuhja taha ju ei näe, et seal ilusat korvi serva tegelt polegi... ;p
Sellest peaks piisama 15 korvikeseks:
Muretainas:
300 gr jahu
200 gr võid või margariini
100 gr suhkrut (järgmine kord paneksin pisut vähem suhkrut)
1 muna
vanillisuhkrut
0,25 tl meresoola
Kuna mul kombaini pole taina segamiseks, siis mina töötlesin muretaia vanal heal viisil - köögilaual suure kööginao abil hakkides jahu, suhkru, muna ja võid omavahel niikaua kuni kuiva jahu enam laual polnud ning surusin kätega saadud puru tainapalliks, panin kilesse ja tõstsin külma. Tainas peaks külmas vähemalt 30 minutit seisma.
Korvikeste jaoks rullisin taigna õhukeseks (5 mm). Lõikasin paraja suurusega kettad ja asetasin metallvormide välisküljele (määrida vorme pole vaja) (Kuna mul õigeid metallvorme pole, siis kasutasin keraamilisi sufleevorme). Asetasin vormid tagurpidi ahjuplaadile ja küpsetasin 225 kraadises ahjus kuldpruuniks umbes 10-15 min. Lasin korvikestel täiesti maha jahtuda.
Sefiir:
6 munavalget
5 dl peenikest suhkrut või tuhksuhkrut
suts sidrunihapet (0,25-0,5 tl, lisasin igaks juhuks jao kaupa vahustamise algul, maitse järgi)
Sefiiri tegemiseks sobib metallist roostevabast kauss, mis on kuuma veega korralikult puhtaks pestud, et kausi pind mingil juhul rasvane poleks, sama lugu ka miksri vahustajatega. Mikserdasin munavalged suhruga heleda vahu tekkimiseni. Järgmisena asetasin kausi suuremasse potti, kus oli vaikselt keev vesi. Vahustasin umbes 10-15 minutit, kuni pinnale jäid teravad tipud, mis alla ei vajunud. Tõstsin kausi veest välja ja miserdasin edasi, kuni vaht oli jahtunud.
Tõstsin sefiiri pritskotti ja täitsin korvikesed ilusa, koheva sefiirivahuga. Mulle meeldib kui sefiiri alla on veel peidetud banaaniviilud, mille peale on pisut sidruni- või laimimahla tilgutatud. Maasikad või muud värsked marjad poleks ka üldse paha idee.
Swiss Meringue Cream Mini Tart
This meringue cream is whisked over a double boiler to warm the egg whites, and then whisked steadily until it cools down. It is then baked and not raw egg anymore.
It should be enough for 15 mini-tarts:
Shortbread pastry:
300 gr flour
200 gr butter
100 gr sugar (the next time I'd put a bit less sugar)
1 egg
vanilla
0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, lightly dust rolling pin with flour. Roll pastry 5 mm thick and re-dusting the pin and the surface lightly with flour if you need to stop the pastry sticking. Cut a sufficient sized discs and place on the outside of the metal forms (there is no need to lubricate forms) (Since I do not have the correct metal forms I use a ceramic ramekins). Place forms inverted into baking tray and bake in oven 225 degrees for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool down completely.

Sift flour on to the surface make hole in the center that clean table is visible. Sprinkle salt and vanilla sugar on the top of flour ring.
In a bowl combine butter, egg with sugar and pour into the flour hole. With large pastry knife start bringing the dough together, cutting and turning to make it start to cling together. Stop cutting when there is no longer flour on the table. Press dough gently into tube-shape and wrap with plastic and let it stay in fridge about 30 minutes before rolling it out. (Making pastry in advance is perfectly all right – it will keep for up to three days in a plastic bag in the fridge, but don't forget to remove it and let it come back to room temperature before rolling it out. Unbaked pastry also freezes extremely well for up to three months.)
Pre-heat your oven to 225 C degrees.

Swiss meringue cream:
6 egg whites
5 dl fine sugar or powdered sugar
0.25 - 0.5 teaspoon citric acid to taste
Put the egg whites and sugar into a clean stainless steel bowl. Whip it a little bit. In the bigger bowl, put the water and place it over the heat. Now place the bowl with egg whites and sugar in bigger bowl over simmering water and beat with a mixer about 10 minutes, until the sugar crystals have dissolved. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue beating until the meringue is completely cool.
Fill a pastry bag with the meringue and start filling the the tarts.

(I like to hide some slices of strawberries or bananas under the meringue cream as well to complete the flavor of this sweet dessert.)
