Tag: marcypan

• I came across a recipe for budyń which had marcypan – marzipan melted into it.
• I used bought golden marzipan from Marks & Spencer’s to test it out.
• There is enough to make this three times.
• It was delicious.
• I used it in two different ways.
• This is the first one in which the budyń is chilled.
• The original recipe used apples with the budyń, but although I have lots of apples left from the garden; I think it is better with dark red fruits such as sour cherries.

Ingredients

• 250ml milk
• 1½ tablespoons of potato flour
• 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
• 150g of made marzipan
• 2 egg yolks

Method

• Mix a little of  the milk with the potato flour and the sugar.
• Heat the rest of the milk in a saucepan.
• Add the rest of the milk mixture to this and heat till it is thick.
• Chop the marzipan into little pieces.
• Add the marzipan to the milk mixture and stir till it is melted and you have a thick sauce.
• Leave till slightly cool.
• Add the egg yolks and mix till it is thick.
• Leave till cool.
• *
• Use this over thickened fruit dark fruits such as sour cherries*.
• Leave to chill.

• NOTE
• *As I did not have any sour cherries I used frozen sweet cherries, sour cherry jam and lemon juice.
• I heated these together in a small pan adjusting the sweetness with more jam if needed and the thickness with a little potato flour.
• Leave to be cold before putting the marzipan  budyń over them
