RADISH WITH BUTTER AND SALT

Radish with Butter and Salt image

Sliced radish and butter, finished with a pinch of salt is a simple French snack where the butter cuts the hot pepperiness of the radish, giving you an indulgent low-carb treat in seconds. I use butter very rarely, otherwise, but it does work here. This is my homemade version of the popular French snack. Use the best radishes you can find (the greens should be bright and not wilted, and the radish should be firm) and quality butter at room temperature.

FRENCH BUTTERCREAM

French buttercream may not be as popular as the Italian or Swiss variety, but it is just as light and creamy. Plus, it is richer and a deeper shade of pale yellow from extra egg yolks. It makes a great cake filling and frosting.

Time 40m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 large eggs plus 6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups sugar
Pinch kosher salt
12 ounces (24 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

Place the whole eggs and yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the eggs are pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes. (The eggs will hold an indent made with your finger for a few seconds.)
Meanwhile, pour the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and bring to the soft-ball stage, without stirring, 240 degrees F.
Begin whipping the eggs again on medium-high speed and slowly drizzle in the hot syrup, aiming the syrup between the side of the bowl and the beaters. Continue to whip until both the bottom of the bowl and the mixture are cool, 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should be thick, but will not form a peak at this point. Beat in the salt.
While still beating on medium-high, add the butter, a few pieces at a time. As the butter is added, the buttercream may appear to thin out some, but it will thicken into firm peaks once all of the butter is added. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Use right away or refrigerate in an airtight container overnight. The buttercream may need to be beaten again to smooth out before using.

Tips:

Use high-quality butter. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your snacks.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
Bake the snacks until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Let the snacks cool before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
