A Brief History of Pricomide
Pricomide are a type of traditional cookie that has been enjoyed for generations. These slightly crispy sweets on the outside and soft on the inside have been a symbol of hospitality in many cultures. They can be prepared in various versions, and today we will explore some delicious combinations using simple but flavorful ingredients.
Ingredients
- Egg whites from 5 medium-sized eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 heaping tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
- Flavorings:
- 5 tablespoons of ground walnuts
- 5 tablespoons of ground almonds
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- 2-3 tablespoons of jam (blueberry and strawberry)
Step by Step for Assorted Pricomide
1. Preheat the oven
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Make sure it is well heated before placing the tray with pricomide.
2. Separate the eggs
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. It is important to use only the egg whites for this recipe. You can save the yolks for other dishes, such as a cream or mayonnaise.
3. Whip the egg whites
Place the egg whites in a large bowl and add a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they become frothy. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy and airy texture.
4. Sweeten the meringue
Continue to beat the egg whites and gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Keep mixing until you obtain a firm and shiny meringue. A helpful tip: make sure the bowl and the mixer whisk are clean and free of fats to achieve a perfect meringue.
5. Incorporate the dry ingredients
Gradually add the baking powder and flour, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix, to avoid losing air from the mixture.
6. Divide the mixture
Divide the mixture into several bowls, depending on the desired flavors. Here are my suggestions:
- Walnut pricomide: add 5 tablespoons of ground walnuts to one of the bowls.
- Walnut and strawberry jam: in another, combine 5 tablespoons of ground walnuts with 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry jam.
- Almond and blueberry jam: use 5 tablespoons of ground almonds and 2-3 tablespoons of blueberry jam.
- Almond and cocoa: add 5 tablespoons of ground almonds and 2 tablespoons of cocoa in another bowl.
7. Shape the pricomide
Use a piping bag (without a tip) to form the pricomide on a tray lined with baking paper. Make sure to leave spaces between them, as they will expand during baking.
8. Baking
Place the tray in the oven and bake the pricomide for about 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden. It is important to check them from time to time to avoid burning. It may be a good idea to turn the tray halfway through the baking time for even baking.
9. Cooling and assembling
After removing them from the oven, let them cool on a rack. Once cooled, you can join them in pairs using jam or chocolate cream to create a delicious and attractive dessert.
