Learn how to cook "How to make a decoration for cakes, pies or desserts with steamed dough". Delicious recipe.
Apart from making eclairs, bedspreads or other products, steamed dough is also used for decoration. It is decorative, but also edible. When kneading it, a significant amount of powdered sugar is added to obtain a plastic mass that is easy to model. It dries quickly, which is another plus for its application. Try to prepare yourself and decorate your own cakes. All you need is:
To make the dough, you need to put the water and butter in a saucepan and heat the liquid. Once you get a homogeneous mixture, pull the pan and pour the flour. Stir vigorously until you get a dough.
It is immediately separated from the walls of the vessel. Allow to cool, but cover with cling film to prevent crust. Sift the powdered sugar and knead it. You have to take the whole amount, and sometimes even more, depending on the products.
Cool the resulting dough, then roll out, cut and dry the molds. You can also make the figurines with the help of confectionery presses, prints or templates. If desired, you can change the color with food coloring or dissolve ones with which you can later color in different shades.
