  • Pastry Rings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 465°F (240°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment and set up your pastry rings.
  2. In a food processor, finely grind the pistachios and combine them with powdered sugar and cake flour.
  3. In a stand mixer, whip egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
  4. Gently fold the pistachio mixture into the whipped meringue in two additions.
  5. Spoon the meringue batter into the pastry rings and smooth the tops; bake for approximately 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
  6. Turn off the oven after baking and let the cakes cool in the oven for about 1 hour with the door ajar.
  7. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks until thick; heat sugar and water to 240°F (115°C) to create a syrup.
  8. Gradually pour the syrup into the yolks while mixing in softened butter until creamy; finish with vanilla and pistachio paste.
  9. Layer the dacquoise with the buttercream once cool; garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.
