How to make 'Triangles' from Panorama. This sweet is absolutely delicious! It gets its name from the shape, obviously, and also from the fact that it is a speciality of a district just outside Thessaloniki called Panorama.
Making them is rather time-consuming, but absolutely worth it. Whoever you serve with these will love you for it! The recipe below is for 24 triangles.
Ingredients
12 sheets filo pastry at room temperature
200g melted butter
For the
cream
1st
mix
1 litre milk
120g sugar
0.60g vanilla powder
2nd
mix
2 large eggs whole
3 egg yolks
120g icing sugar
120g corn flour
50g butter
300g whipping cream
For the
syrup
600g sugar
500ml water
1tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp glucose
Preparation
Take 1 sheet of filo pastry and keep the others
covered in cling film so as not to dry.
Brush the filo with melted butter.
With the filo lengthwise, fold it twice to reach
halfway.
Cut the filo at the halfway point and do the same with
the other half.
Butter the two lengths of pastry you now have.
Start from the corner of one end to fold small
triangle shapes (see photos below) until you reach the other end. Cut off any extra pastry.
Do the same for the other length of pastry.
Repeat this process for each of the filo sheets,
remembering to cover the sheets not being used, with cling film so as not to
dry.
Put the triangles in a shallow, buttered oven tray.
You may need two trays.
Brush on top with melted butter.
Put in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius for approx. 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While they are in the oven, prepare the syrup. Put all the syrup ingredients in a pan and boil for 4 minutes.
When you remove the triangles from the oven, cut open
the top end of each one. (see photos below)
Pour the syrup over the triangles and set them aside,
uncovered.
Cream
1st
mix
Put the milk, sugar and vanilla in a pan, mix well
over a low heat and leave on the heat while you prepare the 2nd mix.
2nd
mix
Put the 2 whole eggs and extra 3 egg yolks in a bowl
and whisk well by hand.
Add the sugar whilst continuing to whisk.
Gradually add the corn flour whilst continuing to
whisk.
It is very important that the mixture is smooth with
no lumps.
Just before the milk in the pan is about to boil, take
a ladleful of the milk mixture and add it to the egg mixture and whisk. This is
to raise the temperature of the egg mixture gradually before it is added to the
milk mixture.
Now add the egg mixture to the pan with the milk
mixture and whisk well for at least 5 minutes, while still on a low heat.
The mixture will have thickened now and it should be
smooth with no lumps.
Remove from the heat, add the butter and whisk well
until the butter has been absorbed.
The mixture needs to cool gradually – not quickly – so
we spread it in a shallow oven pan to cool.
As it is cooling, turn it and spread it gently every
so often, so as not to form a crust.
Once it is completely cold, whip the 300g whipping
cream in a mixer. Add the cold cream to the whipped cream in the mixer and
continue mixing for approx. 1 minute until it is one smooth cream.
Put the cream in a pastry bag with nozzle and fill all
the triangles.
