Semlor

Semlor, bollos de cuaresma suecos. Una masa enriquecida con leche, mantequilla y huevo, aromatizada con cardamomo y rellena con crema de mazapán y nata montada. Pecar un poco antes del tiempo de penitencia y reflexión. Bueno, eso.

La primera vez que los tomé fue en Uppsala, dio la casualidad que estuve en Suecia en temporada de semlor (aunque es un dulce para un momento bastante concreto, hoy en día en los países nórdicos se pueden encontrar durante varios meses). Recuerdo aquel momento, nunca lo olvidaré. Estaba con Markus, un chico que acababa de conocer y, tras el primer mordisco, le dije que jamás olvidaría aquel día en que él me acompañaba en ese instante de revelación.

Primero levantas la tapa, y ese mordisco al capuchón cubierto de azúcar glas e impregnado en nata es sublime. La masa dulce impregna la nata de tal modo que parece que el cardamomo está en la nata, no en la masa (no deja de alucinarme cómo queda el cardamomo en masas dulces enriquecidas con lácteos). Luego, abrirte camino a mordiscos hasta el corazón relleno de crema de mazapán. Los semlor, al igual que lo que ocurre con los bollos de canela o cardamomo, son más densos que los bollos españoles, hay que masticarlos y dejar que sus aromas estallen en la boca.

Anders, el granjero y panadero que me albergó en Suecia, me enseñó a comer los semlor en tazón, untados en leche; «ahora ya sabes cómo sabe mi infancia», recuerdo que me dijo. Es algo increíble, al dejar un semla a remojo en leche caliente, cuando le atacas con la cuchara, la parte inferior parece casi una torrija tibia de cardamomo, lo que es el contrapunto perfecto para la miga aromática, el corazón de mazapán y la parte superior con nata montada fresca. Uno no puede más que maravillarse ante la sabiduría de estas gentes.

Ayer, junto a mi amigo Javier, pertrechados de buenas harinas y más nata de la que es razonable tener en casa, nos dedicamos a perpetuar esta tradición. En casa es imposible tomar sólo uno. Primero cae uno tal cual, luego este momento único de comunión se prolonga bien empapado en leche.

Ante el primer mordisco a un semla uno sólo puede sonreír, celebrar la felicidad de estar vivo y compartir aquello con los que quieres.

Después, pensar en ello, preguntarte la inexplicable capacidad evocadora de estos bollos, sus aromas embriagadores. De la misma manera que te preguntas la inexplicable capacidad evocadora de cualquier pan especial, casero, hecho con cariño, regalado o compartido. Aquí debajo, Javier, cuchara en mano, preguntándose a sí mismo por el hecho mágico del torrijamiento o torrijación que sucede en la base de los semlor tras remojarlos en leche.

Estos son los momentos memorables. La memoria del pan.

La receta en sí no tiene mucho misterio, está sacada del libro «Stora boken om bakning» («El gran libro de panes y pasteles»), un clásico de panadería casera de la editorial de los supermercados ICA. Es chocante, esta cadena de supermercados tiene su propia editorial y muchos de sus libros son auténticos monumentos gastroliterarios. Por ejemplo, esta misma receta aparece en «Sju sorters kakor» («7 tipos de pasteles»), el libro que celebra la dulcería sueca y la tradición según la cual cuando invitas a alguien a tomar café y pasteles tienes que servir al menos 7 tipos diferentes (Jan Hedh, maestro panadero y pastelero ha llevado esto al paroxismo con su libro «277 tipos de pasteles«). Este «Sju sorters kakor» es como el Simone Ortega de los dulces suecos, lleva vendidos más de 3,5 millones de ejemplares (esto en un país de 9 millones, España tiene 45; es como si un libro de pastelería aquí vendiera más de 15 millones de ejemplares). Esto da una idea de cómo se las gastan allí arriba.

Por lo general, muchos libros abusan de la cantidad de levadura, así que yo rebajaría un poco la que viene (50 g). Una cuestión llamativa es que la masa no es demasiado húmeda, es manejable, se amasa sin problemas sin que se pegue, y el resultado es un bollo algo más denso de lo que se suele ver por España.

Algo que me encanta de los libros de panadería suecos es que suelen medir los ingredientes por volumen (como en los libros ingleses y americanos), pero usando el sistema métrico decimal, no el imperial. Por ejemplo, expresan la harina o el azúcar en litros. Al principio parece algo extraño, pero a mí me ha seducido. Es rápido y efectivo. Las pilas siempre se agotan.

La receta usa hjorthornssalt (carbonato de amonio), un dinosaurio de los productos químicos para levar masas, que aún se usa en los países del centro y norte de Europa, algo realmente increíble. Aquí un poquito más de información. Aunque no produce una ligereza igual, el hjorthornssalt se puede sustituir por Royal (por suerte, este es el tipo de cosas que encuentras en los cajones de casa de Javier). En esta receta, también se podría incluso omitir.

En general, usar leche UHT es triste, una leche muerta y sin sabor; pero en recetas como esta es esencial usar buena leche, leche fresca, y lo mismo ocurre con la nata. Merece la pena buscar nata fresca (no UHT) para intentar reproducir de alguna manera las sensaciones de un buen semla.

Receta de semlor – Para 10-12 bollos
Conservo la expresión de las cantidades en volumen, me parece delicioso, y tiene un toque del misterio de desentrañar una receta nueva.

75-100 g de mantequilla
3 dl de leche
50 g de levadura (con 25 g va que chuta)
1/2 cucharada de postre de sal
1 dl de azúcar
1 huevo
1 cucharada de postre de cardamomo molido
1/2 cucharada de postre de hjorthornssalt (digo yo que se puede sustituir por Royal)
1 litro de harina de trigo

Huevo para pincelar y azúcar glas para decorar

Para el relleno.
150 g de crema de mazapan. En IKEA venden unas pastillas de mazapán muy efectivas (aunque conviene reducirlas a pasta con un poco de agua). Pero siempre se puede elaborar una crema casera de manera rápida; 1 1/2 dl (100 g) de almendra molida, 1 dl de azúcar, aprox 1 dl de leche.
2 dl de nata para montar (la nata nunca es suficiente)

Se calienta la leche para que se disuelva bien la mantequilla; cuando esté a temperatura corporal, se disuelve la levadura y se añaden el resto de los ingredientes. Se trabaja hasta que esté fina y se deja fermentar 30 minutos (si pones cerca de 25 g de levadura, mejor espera algo más de una hora). Una vez la masa haya doblado su volumen, se dividen, pesan y forman las bolas de masa que serán finalmente los bollos (de unos 100 g) y se deja que fermenten sobre un papel de hornear. Se precalienta el horno a 250º C. Cuando hayan doblado casi su volumen otra vez, se pincelan y se hornean unos 10 minutos a unos 200º (si tienes ventilador en el horno, este es el momento de usarlo; si ves que se te doran demasiado, apágalo). Una vez fríos, se corta la parte superior, se vacía un poco de la miga y se rellenan. Sobre la forma de cortar la tapa hay distintas escuelas; en triángulo, en boinita, etc. Para el relleno se quita un poco de miga del interior y se rellena con pasta de almendra (como un mazapán cremoso), un disco de aproximadamente de 1 cm de espesor por unos 5 de diámetro. Después se pone nata montada (en plan finolis se hace con manga; en plan casero, a cucharadas), se vuelve a colocar la tapa y se espolvorea con azúcar glas.

    There may also be a fee charged by the state for these types of paper-requests.

    The first step in using this free background check trick is to
    determine if your state has a website (or more than one website) for the general public to access information, including past criminal records.
    The reason for this is because each state has its
    own rules concerning who can look at past court records concerning
    other people. The next step to using the new free background check trick is to
    see if your particular county has a website that offers information on past criminal records.
    Many actually do, so don’t be surprised if you see that your county offers
    this service. Having your own video chat room you can easily see face to face, live, your friends.
    With online marketplaces making a big splash,
    you can have the added convenience of checking out the reviews for a particular item that you have set your eyes upon.

    Sex is genetic, male and female. Women are female, men are male.

    Nobody with male DNA is a female, or vice versa. Sex is not variable,
    changeable, or optional.

    If that score is high enough, the conversation will be sent to
    moderators for review. The system analyzes conversations and
    assigns them an overall score indicating the likelihood that grooming is happening.
    Artemis builds on an automated system Microsoft started using
    in 2015 to identify grooming on Xbox Live, looking for patterns of keywords
    and phrases associated with grooming. The system will also flag
    cases that might not meet the threshold of an imminent threat or exploitation but violate
    the company’s terms of services. Activists, sex therapists, abuse survivors, artists and sex educators,» are being unfairly censored by both services. «And

    Our results offered no support for either of these two claims.

    If you chose that particular model all you have to do is click on the 1-on-1 private chat, then everything
    that happens in the private room stays only
    between the two of you. President Trump says he knew Jeffrey Epstein, that he was
    part of the West Palm Beach set, in one interview calling him a «terrific guy.»
    But more recently, Trump said the two had a falling out.

    I was a serial monogamist, moving from one long-term relationship to the next.
    While having sex with your partner, you do not pay attention to your partner’s needs and
    desires, which is not right for a good relationship.
    If you’re both on the same page, that’s good
    luck and you will have a good chance of hooking up with her in the future.

    However they do rely on the testimony and research from a select few, to build their narrative around their version of events
    leading to this decades long secret operation. To this author,
    not including any of these other Secret Space Program Insiders, into the narrative of his story or having them appear on the show, raises many red flags.

    Why would he leave this information out of his book
    but be willing to discuss them on the Cosmic Disclosure Show, has remained an unanswered mystery to
    this author. Since Corey, does have history of doing this kind of thing, I have no trouble accepting
    this information as valid. I am having trouble with shading.
    Group sex for men means having as many women on his bed as possible.
    People transition to seek to control an ever increasing
    self-hatred of their sex characteristics, meaning that
    things like baldness, large hands, a deep voice etc.

    constantly remind an individual of their gender incongruity.

    They have, and continue to influence policy-making and
    legal enforcement of anti-sex-trafficking laws despite vehement criticisms by sex worker rights activists and their supporters.
    A-21 now works with law enforcement in 11 countries, including the United
    States and the United Kingdom, and provides safe houses where girls and women can be rehabilitated.
    The United States has become more secular in the late 20th and early 21st
    century. She represents a powerful constituency of conservative Christians who have
    formed non-profits of their own, such as FAAST, Wellspring Living
    and Concerned Women for America, and made alliances with anti-prostitution, secular feminists.

    Sex-worker rights advocates and scholars have rejected the
    conflation of sex trafficking and prostitution that animates much anti-trafficking crusades,
    Christian and otherwise. While Caine speaks
    about human trafficking, in fact, sex trafficking is her primary target,
    and with it the sex industry. Do not promote illegal activities such as pornographic content or drug trafficking.
    Their attitudes about the work vary. Could it be that Christian anti-sex traffickers,
    like Caine, solicit large evangelical audiences and prop up a legal
    system that criminalizes sex work because they are better story tellers than their opponents?
    This is a classic Protestant redemption story.

    I really got into it, moving my mouth up and down on it.
    After a while I got up the nerve to talk to Harold
    about it and dis¬covered he felt the same way.
    Harold and Ginger were married at eighteen. «After a few years of being married and observing all the sex going on around me, I began to wonder if we were missing something,» Ginger said.
    «We did it a lot for about a year, and now we don’t do it much anymore,» Ginger said.
    He sure had a lot of stuff in him. If your particular problem precisely matches a problem in a thread that has a lot of replies and
    reads, something is likely to get solved if the company cares at all.
    Get to know the models you favor even more by showing how grateful you are for their company and express your
    appreciation by applying tips or payments for private shows.

    It is the type of writing I have grown up doing, and I really enjoy it.
    Type in the right code and you gain access. Maybe this freedom will help straight women differentiate between straight
    men and MSN or «down lows.» Men have a right to
    their choices and so do women. Many somehow think a skirt will make them gay!
    They are more muscular and sexy than ousr yet some women oppose a man wearing a skirt.
    A skirt/kilt is a very natural garment on a man. They took the most masculine garment and made it feminine.
    The male and female birds took turns sitting on the eggs.

    Kaftans are traditional male attire across much of Africa and the Middle East.
    At least, in my church a male and female (unless married
    to each other) could not be seen together in the same room.
    Hi Ed, The best look for a guy when wearing a skirt is around knee length, about the
    same length as shorts, which is the same length as a kilt.
