COOKING WITH TEA
Sugar Plum Fairy Tale
Sugar Plum Fairy Tale
Notes from Pastry Chef Ravindra Verma, Ritz Carlton, New Orleans:
“The dessert is very light and creamy, so we needed to add a bit of texture. We hand-mixed a sugar dough, and chilled it for four hours. If you didn’t, the dough would be too soft to handle when mixed and softened with room temperature butter, and will end up as a tuile rather than a crisp cookie. It’s all about harmonizing the different elements of the dessert.”
