ALMOND TRIANGLES (TRIGONA)



Almond Triangles (Trigona) image

Greek cookies from alleasyrecipes.com Posting for ZWT. To defrost the phyllo, leave the unopened package in the refrigerator overnight and it will be ready to use the next day. Do NOT thaw at room temperature because the sheets then have a tendency to stick to each other. One of the difficulties of working with phyllo is that it tends to dry out very quickly once exposed to air. Thus SPEED is of the essence. Before unrolling the phyllo, make sure that you have a large area to work on and that ALL your ingredients and utensils are at hand: baking pans, a pastry brush, the filling, wax paper on counter, and, most important, the melted, but not browned, butter that will be used to top each individual sheet. If you are going to bake the phyllo pastry immediately, your oven should be preheated. To better understand how to make the triangles, look at the wonderful diagrams found at http://www.alleasyrecipes.com/glossary/phyllo.asp

Almond triangles recipes are a delicious dessert that is easy and quick to make. The almond triangles are made from a combination of butter, sugar, flour, and ground almonds. These triangles are then baked until crisp and golden brown. The almond triangles can be served with a variety of toppings like powdered sugar, chocolate chips or drizzled with honey. In this article, we will discuss the history of almond triangles, the ingredients used, and some tips for making the perfect almond triangles.

The History of Almond Triangles

Almond triangles have their origins in Austria, where they are known as "Mandelhörnchen." These little almond crescents were created during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and quickly became popular throughout Europe. Today, almond triangles are a popular dessert in many parts of the world, including Germany, Italy, and the United States. Almond triangles have become a staple dessert item and are often served during special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and holidays.

The Ingredients Used in Almond Triangles Recipes

The key ingredients for making almond triangles are butter, sugar, flour, and ground almonds. These ingredients are combined to make a dough that is easy to shape into triangles. The butter should be at room temperature to ensure that it blends well with the other ingredients. The sugar is added to give the almond triangles a sweet taste, while the flour helps to bind the ingredients together. The ground almonds are what give almond triangles their distinctive nutty flavor.
Butter
Butter is an essential ingredient in almond triangles recipes. It should be at room temperature when used to ensure that it blends well with the other ingredients. The butter used should be unsalted to avoid making the almond triangles too salty. The butter should be soft enough to easily blend with the sugar without melting.
Sugar
Sugar is an important ingredient in almond triangles recipes. It adds sweetness to the almond triangles and helps to bind the ingredients together. The sugar used can be white granulated sugar or powdered sugar. Powdered sugar is preferred as it dissolves easily and gives the almond triangles a smooth texture.
Flour
Flour is used in almond triangles recipes to bind the ingredients together. The flour used is typically all-purpose flour, but other types of flour can be used, such as almond flour or cake flour. All-purpose flour is preferred as it gives the almond triangles a good texture and prevents them from falling apart.
Ground Almonds
Ground almonds are one of the key ingredients in almond triangles recipes. They give the almond triangles their distinctive nutty flavor. Almond meal or almond flour can be used instead of ground almonds, but it is essential that the almonds are finely ground to ensure that they blend well with the other ingredients.

Tips for Making Perfect Almond Triangles

Here are a few tips that will help you make the perfect almond triangles:
Chill the dough
After the dough has been mixed, it is essential to chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before working with it. This makes the dough firm, making it easier to shape into triangles.
Shape the triangles
When shaping the triangles, make sure that they are of equal size and thickness. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into triangles, and gently press the dough to form a crescent shape.
Bake at the right temperature
Almond triangles should be baked at a temperature of 350°F (180°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. This ensures that they are crisp and golden brown.
Store in an airtight container
Almond triangles can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. This ensures that they stay fresh and crispy.

Conclusion

Almond triangles recipes are a delicious dessert that is quick and easy to make. They are a perfect after-dinner treat, and their nutty flavor and crispy texture make them irresistible. With the right ingredients and a little patience, you can easily make perfect almond triangles at home. Follow the tips discussed in this article, and you will surely impress your guests with your baking skills.

Valuable Tips When Making Almond Triangles Recipes

When it comes to desserts, almond triangles are a classic option that can make any gathering or afternoon tea special. These pastries feature a flaky crust and a sweet filling that can be made with different ingredients, such as almond paste, ground almonds, or marzipan. However, as with any baking project, there are certain tips and tricks that can help you achieve the best results. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making almond triangles recipes:
1. Use a quality almond paste
The quality of the almond paste that you use can have a big impact on the flavor and texture of your almond triangles. Look for a paste that is made with real almonds and has a smooth, creamy consistency. Avoid products that contain artificial flavors, fillers, or preservatives, as they can affect the taste and make the paste harder to work with. You can also make your own almond paste by grinding blanched almonds and adding sugar and egg white until you get a smooth mass.
2. Chill the dough before use
The dough for almond triangles is usually made with flour, butter, sugar, and water or milk. To ensure that the dough is easy to handle and doesn't stick, it's important to chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will also prevent the butter from melting and compromising the flakiness of the crust. When you're ready to work with the dough, dust your work surface with flour and roll it out to the desired thickness (usually about 1/8 inch).
3. Cut the dough into equal-sized triangles
To ensure that your almond triangles are uniform in shape and size, use a ruler and a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into triangles with equal sides. The size of the triangles can vary depending on your preference, but about 3 inches on each side is a common size. Once you have cut out the triangles, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
4. Fill the triangles with a thin layer of almond paste
The filling for almond triangles can be as simple or complex as you like, but the key is to use a thin layer that doesn't overpower the crust. If you're using almond paste, roll it out into a thin sheet and cut it into triangles that match the size of the dough pieces. Then, place one almond paste triangle on top of each dough triangle and press gently to adhere. If you're using ground almonds, mix them with sugar, butter, and egg white to create a paste that can be spread on the dough.
5. Brush the triangles with an egg wash
To give your almond triangles a golden-brown crust that is both crispy and shiny, brush them with an egg wash before baking. The egg wash is made by whisking an egg with a bit of water or milk until well blended. Use a pastry brush to apply the wash evenly on the top and sides of each triangle, being careful not to let it drip onto the baking sheet (as it can burn).
6. Bake the triangles until golden and fragrant
Almond triangles are usually baked at 350-375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them as they bake, and rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. Once they are done, transfer the triangles to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. They can be sprinkled with powdered sugar, drizzled with melted chocolate, or left plain, depending on your preference.
7. Store the triangles in an airtight container
Almond triangles can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, but they tend to dry out and lose their freshness over time. To keep them moist and flavorful, store them in an airtight container with a piece of bread or a slice of apple, which will help to absorb excess moisture. You can also freeze the triangles for up to 2 months, wrapped in plastic wrap or foil, and defrost them at room temperature for a few hours before serving. In conclusion, making almond triangles can be a rewarding and delicious experience, as long as you follow some basic tips for success. Use quality almond paste, chill the dough, cut the triangles evenly, fill them with a thin layer of filling, brush them with an egg wash, bake them to perfection, and store them properly. These steps can help you create almond triangles that are flaky, nutty, and irresistible. Happy baking!
