Frango Frito e Salada de Batata

O chef Nick nos leva em uma viagem para o sul dos Estados Unidos e nos mostra seus truques para o frango frito crocante e perfeito. Enquanto isso, o chef Akira dá um toque novo a um clássico: a salada de batata.

Ingredientes

  • 520 grams AP flour
  • 180 grams cold butter
  • 20 grams baking powder
  • 14 grams salt
  • 10 grams sugar
  • 180 grams buttermilk

Passo a passo

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix butter into the flour, breaking it up into roughly 1⁄2 inch chunks.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix gently to form a dough.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out into a rectangle. Fold in half, turn, and repeat 2 more times. Take care to make sure you make as close to a perfect rectangle as possible so the biscuits rise properly.
  5. Roll out to 3⁄4 of an inch thick and cut with a knife into 15 evenly sized squares.
  6. Brush with egg wash made with an egg and a splash of heavy cream.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating them halfway through the cooking.
  8. Once cooked brush with melted butter and season with maldon salt, to taste.
