 Tenders de poulet croustillants 🍗😋

⏱️ Temps de réalisation : environ 30 minutes  

👥 Pour 4 personnes  

🍗 Liste des ingrédients :  

🍗 500 g de filets de poulet (coupés en lanières)  

🍗 100 g de farine  

🍗 2 œufs  

🍗 100 g de chapelure (panko ou classique)  

🍗 1 cuillère à café de paprika doux  

🍗 1 cuillère à café d’ail en poudre (facultatif)  

🍗 1 pincée de sel, 1 pincée de poivre  

🍗 Huile pour la friture (tournesol ou arachide)  

🥣 Préparation pas à pas :  

👉 Préparez trois assiettes creuses : l’une avec la farine, l’autre avec les œufs battus, et la troisième avec la chapelure mélangée au paprika, à l’ail en poudre (si vous le souhaitez), au sel et au poivre.  

👉 Séchez légèrement les filets de poulet avec un papier absorbant. Passez-les successivement dans la farine, puis dans l’œuf battu, et enfin dans la chapelure.  

👉 Faites chauffer l’huile dans une poêle ou une friteuse à feu moyen-vif. Pour vérifier la température, déposez une petite pincée de chapelure : si elle grésille immédiatement, l’huile est prête.  

👉 Plongez délicatement les morceaux de poulet panés dans l’huile chaude. Faites-les dorer environ 3 à 4 minutes de chaque côté (ou jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient bien dorés).  

👉 Égouttez-les sur du papier absorbant pour retirer l’excès d’huile.  

🍀 Conseils pratiques :  

🍀 Surveillez bien la cuisson : un feu trop fort risque de brûler la panure avant que le poulet ne soit cuit à cœur.  

🍀 Si vous préférez éviter la friture, vous pouvez cuire vos tenders au four : placez-les sur une plaque recouverte de papier cuisson, arrosez d’un léger filet d’huile et enfournez à 200 °C (thermostat 6/7) pendant 15 à 20 minutes en les retournant à mi-cuisson.  

🍀 Vous pouvez parfumer votre chapelure avec des herbes de Provence, du parmesan râpé ou du piment pour varier les saveurs.  

📦 Conservation :  

🍱 Conservez les tenders cuits dans un récipient hermétique au réfrigérateur (4 °C) jusqu’à 2 jours.  

🍱 Pour les réchauffer, passez-les quelques minutes au four à 180 °C afin de leur redonner un peu de croustillant.

 CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 😋

Ingredients:

100g butter

175g sugar

1 egg

a pinch of salt

a few drops of vanilla essence

200g flour

4g baking powder

100g chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. Beat the butter at room temperature with the sugar until pale, add the vanilla essence, a pinch of salt, and the egg, and mix well. Sift the flour with the baking powder and add it to the previous mixture. Finally, add the chocolate chips. Form a soft ball of dough without overkneading. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2. Roll out the dough to a thickness of half a centimeter, cut out circles, and place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 190º C for about 7 minutes. Tips: You'll know they're ready when the edges of the cookies begin to turn lightly golden. It's important not to wait until they're golden brown on top, or they'll become very hard as they cool.

3. It's important to let the dough rest in the refrigerator so it holds its shape once baked. To roll out the dough, you can use a little flour on the work surface, but be careful not to use too much, or the cookies will end up looking like rocks.

4. You can use either chocolate chips, available in almost all supermarkets, or chopped chocolate bars.

 Explosion de Gourmandise Crémeuse 🍩🍓

Temps de réalisation : 45 minutes

Nombre de personnes : 8 à 10 personnes

Ingrédients :

300g de farine

2 œufs

100g de sucre

1 sachet de levure chimique (environ 10g)

1 pincée de sel

150ml de lait

50g de beurre fondu

1 cuillère à café d’extrait de vanille

200g de crème chantilly

100g de confiture de framboise (ou autre fruit de votre choix)

Sucre glace pour saupoudrer

Quelques framboises fraîches pour décorer

Préparation :

Préparation de la pâte :

Commencez par préchauffer votre four à 180°C (th. 6). Dans un grand bol, mélangez la farine, la levure chimique, le sucre et la pincée de sel. Faites un puits au centre et ajoutez les œufs, le lait, le beurre fondu et l'extrait de vanille. Mélangez bien jusqu’à obtenir une pâte lisse et homogène.

Formation des beignets :

Sur une plaque de cuisson recouverte de papier sulfurisé, déposez des petits tas de pâte à l’aide d’une cuillère. Vous pouvez également utiliser une poche à douille pour former des petites boules régulières. Veillez à bien espacer les tas pour qu'ils ne se collent pas pendant la cuisson.

Cuisson :

Enfournez pendant environ 20 minutes, ou jusqu'à ce que les beignets soient dorés et bien gonflés. N'ayez crainte si la pâte semble légèrement collante au centre, c’est normal, cela deviendra parfait après la garniture.

Préparation de la garniture :

Pendant que les beignets cuisent, fouettez la crème chantilly jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit bien ferme. Vous pouvez ajouter un peu de sucre glace pour plus de douceur si vous le souhaitez. Une fois les beignets refroidis, découpez-les délicatement en deux sans aller jusqu’au bout, comme un petit sandwich.

Assemblage des beignets :

Déposez une généreuse cuillère de crème chantilly sur chaque moitié de beignet. Ensuite, ajoutez un peu de confiture de framboise au centre pour une explosion de saveurs fruitées. Refermez les beignets et saupoudrez-les de sucre glace pour la touche finale.

Décoration et finition :

Ajoutez quelques framboises fraîches sur le dessus de votre tour de beignets pour un effet visuel irrésistible et encore plus gourmand.

Conseils pratiques :

Astuce de pro : Si la pâte est trop collante, vous pouvez ajouter un peu plus de farine pour obtenir une consistance plus facile à travailler.

Variante : Vous pouvez remplacer la confiture de framboise par d’autres fruits ou même du chocolat fondu pour une version plus chocolatée.

Pour les débutantes : Ne vous inquiétez pas si les beignets ne sont pas parfaitement ronds, ils seront toujours délicieux !

Conservation :

Température : Conservez ces délices dans une boîte hermétique à température ambiante.

Durée : Ils se gardent bien pendant 2 à 3 jours, mais ils seront encore plus savoureux le jour même !

Crispy Potato Crown 🥔🤩**

**⏱️ Total Time:** About 1 hour (15 minutes prep + 45 minutes baking)  

**👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Serves:** 6 people  

---

### **Ingredients**

- 1.2 kg potatoes (about 8 medium-sized)

- 150 g grated cheese (Emmental, Comté, or Cheddar)

- 200 ml heavy cream (full-fat or semi-thick)

- 2 eggs

- 1 teaspoon salt

- ½ teaspoon black pepper

- 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

- 1 tablespoon oil (for greasing the pan)

- A few sprigs of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

---

### **Step-by-Step Instructions**

1. **Prepare the Potatoes**  

- Peel, rinse, and dry the potatoes.  

- Slice them into thin rounds (about 2-3 mm thick).  

- Using a mandoline will help ensure evenly sized slices.

2. **Make the Cream Mixture**  

- In a large bowl, whisk the cream with the eggs.  

- Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if desired).  

- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

3. **Add the Cheese**  

- Stir about two-thirds of the grated cheese into the cream mixture.  

- Set aside the remaining cheese for topping.

4. **Assemble the Crown**  

- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).  

- Lightly grease a ring mold (or Bundt pan) with oil.  

- Arrange the potato slices vertically around the pan, slightly overlapping them.  

- Gradually pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, making sure they are well coated.  

- Gently press down to help the layers stick together.  

- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

5. **Bake**  

- Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes.  

- Check doneness by inserting a knife — the potatoes should be tender.  

- If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil toward the end of cooking.

6. **Unmold and Serve**  

- Let the potato crown rest for a few minutes after baking.  

- Carefully unmold onto a serving platter.  

- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a beautiful finish.

---

### **Pro Tips**

- **Tasty Add-Ins:** You can add cooked bacon bits, sliced onions, or zucchini rounds between the potato slices for extra flavor.  

- **Extra Crunch:** For a crispier top, switch to broil mode for the last 2-3 minutes of baking — but keep an eye on it to avoid burning.  

- **Best Potato Varieties:** Use waxy potatoes like Bintje or Monalisa for a tender, creamy texture.

---

### **Storage Tips**

- **In the Fridge:** Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.  

- **Reheating:** Reheat in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 10-15 minutes to restore its texture.  

- **Freezing:** You can freeze individual slices and thaw in the fridge before reheating.
