Pear and Maple Crumble ~ for Bake Along #26

I am baking this for the first time. I done crumble on buns and bread but never on fruits. When i go thru the recipe, only then i found it is not that difficult to make. It is simple but the result is so awesome.


I really love the crunchy crumbles with walnuts and pistachio. (I added a little pistachio in the crumble since i have some..:p) The pear is soft and crispy after bake with crumble and the lovely smell of the maple syrup.





I chose Forelle pears to bake this. 

Forelle

In Season: October - March
Flavor Profile: crisp, tangy, and refreshingly sweet

The Forelle is an uncommon variety known for its smaller size and its unique yellow-green skin that is naturally decorated with crimson freckles. It has a crisp texture even when ripe, and is perfect for snacking, cooking, and pairing with wine and cheese...For what they lack in size, Forelle pears make up in sweet flavor and beautiful appearance. Know as a great "snacking" pear. Forelles are as wonderful to eat as they are beautiful to see on display!....information from
 USA PEARS .COM

~The label says it is 'Crisp & Sweet'~



~Peel and core the pears~

This is another Bake Along event and it the #26 Bake Along. Its fun and i benefit a lot following this event. Thanks to the ladies who organised..they are Joyce @ Kicthen Flavours, Lena @ Frozen Wings and Zoe @Bake for Happy Kids.
The recipe chosen for Bake Along #26 was Pear and Maple Crumble from Bon Appetit.  


Pear and Maple Crumble
Adapted from here
(I make 1/3 of the ingredients and used 2 round ramekins and 3 tear drops shape ramekins)
 Ingredients:
 For topping:
1 cup (110 grams) all purpose flour
1 cup (100 grams) walnuts 
2/3 cup (135 grams) (packed) golden brown sugar 
1/2 cup (115 grams) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
 For pears:
3 1/2 pounds (1.5 kilograms) firm but ripe pears ~ peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup pure maple syrup (I didn't have any so I used 'M' Pancake syrup)
1/2 cup (50 grams) raisins (I add a teaspoon of dried cranberries) 
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger (I didn't have any of this too) 
Sour cream ( i use home made vanilla ice cream)
To do:
Make topping: 
Combine all ingredients in processor. Process until walnuts are coarsely chopped and small moist clumps form. ( mui mui hand made this with a butter knife into coarse crumble) Transfer topping to medium bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Toss all ingredients in large bowl to blend. Let stand 15 minutes.

I baked this chiffon cupcake again for Bake Along event. I am going to Bake Along with these 3 beautiful ladies again.  This is a revisit of this recipe - HERE The previous post of Hokkaidao chiffon cupcake, i used durian cream as filling. Now in this post i used vanilla whipped cream/Chantilly cream as filling. I love to use dairy whipping cream as filling. Just add adequate of icing sugar/castor sugar to the whipping  cream and whisked it to light and fluffy. Then mix in any flavor that you like into the cream and piped it into the cake. Saw some nice and fresh bluberries in the supermarket, i quickly grab some for decoration :D Nice and smooth sides.    Moist, soft and fl

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
