Como Hacer Flores en Pasta Comestible - Hogar Tv por Juan Gonzalo Angel

@juangangel According to the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, a pastry, tart, or cake is a "dough of flour and butter, baked in the oven, in which cream or a sweet filling is usually wrapped, and sometimes fruit, fish, or meat." In old Spanish cookbooks, the name "pastel" is applied only to those made with puff pastry; if it is made of another type of dough (generally similar to bread dough and with a savory filling), it is called an empanada, and in some, "empanada a la inglesa" (English-style empanada). Depending on the size, a distinction was made between the pastelillo (small pastry), the pastel (individual pastry), and the pastelón (for several people); these terms are still used in old Spanish bakeries. In Spain, "tarta" is the name given to a sweet pastry of a certain size, whether made with sponge cake or puff pastry; in contrast, in almost all Latin American countries it is known as "torta," except in Mexico, where "torta" is a savory sandwich. In Colombia, it's also called "ponqué, pastel, or torta" (a transliteration of the English term "pound cake"); in Ecuador, the name "pastel" prevails, and filled ice creams are known as "tortas"; and in Panama, it's simply called "dulce." In Latin America, as well as in Spain, a type of puff pastry that encases something not necessarily sweet (cream tart, sweet tart, fruit tart, fish tart, or meat tart) is also called a "tarta" or "torta." In contrast, a sponge cake (always sweet) is called a "cake" in most Spanish-speaking countries—except Spain—using a word derived from the English loanword "cake," such as "queque," "quey," "keke," etc. Spain uses the term "pastel" generally to refer to tarts and some other desserts, and specifically to refer to French-style pastries (mille-feuille, meringues, etc.) generally made of small pastry and eaten as dessert or at celebrations. In Venezuela, a pastel is generally savory (Examples: chucho, tuna, dogfish, etc.), while a torta is always sweet (although there are exceptions, such as on Margarita Island, where a pastel made with dogfish is called torta de cazón, or casabe, whose slices are called torta de casabe). Anglo-Saxon Pies [edit] The English Pie [edit] Anglo-Saxon apple pie, or apple pie. English pies, a type of baked pastry, could be called "pastels." A pie (from the English, pronounced ['paj], "pay") is a pastry with a very thin layer of dough, beneath which is the filling, which, as in a puff pastry pie, can be made of meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, chocolate, a sweet cream, or nuts. Savory pies such as steak and kidney pie or shepherd's pie are a traditional and very popular element of British cuisine. Some also include a bottom layer of pastry (usually as thin as the top) that separates the filling from the baking pan. Cupcakes [edit] Cupcakes are small, individual cakes made with flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. Their name comes from the equal portions of each ingredient and the way they were measured (in cups), which saved a lot of time in the kitchen. Another, more modern version of the term's origin says it comes from the custom of baking cakes in teacups. Whatever their origin, they have gone from being a table treat to a cult object [citation needed], promoted by TV series like "Sex and the City" and "Dirty Sexy Money," and coveted by celebrities in the art, fashion, and film worlds [citation needed]. In modern times, they are served at celebrations such as children's birthday parties, weddings, banquets, corporate events, or simply as a treat at home, with afternoon tea, or as a quick snack [citation needed]. Furthermore, they are a more convenient alternative to a full-sized cake, as they do not require utensils or division into individual portions.
