Homemade almoixàvena made with Thermomix

Today I bring you a typical sweet from the Valencian Community: the homemade almoixàvena. Although surely in other towns you have very similar recipes with different names. In fact, depending on the area, it is known by the name "Almoixàvena", "monxàvena", "monjàvena" or "almoxàvena".

It's a sweet of arabic origin, characteristic of Xàtiva and the entire region of La Costera. Although little by little it has been spreading to other areas.

And it's one of those sweets typical of Lent that are simple, full of tradition and that you learn to make at home while respecting your grandmother's recipe.

Do you want to know more about homemade almoixàvena made with Thermomix?

If you look at the ingredients and the preparation you will discover that it is a recipe very similar to the one choux pastry with which éclairs are made, lionesses, profiteroles or petisús.

Although the best thing about this recipe is simplicity. So this time we are not going to make small cupcakes, we will simply roll out the dough and bake it.

In fact, it is so simple that it does not have a filling, although it does have a scab delicious sugar and cinnamon. So be generous and do not skimp because it is the grace of this dessert.

This recipe does not have any kind of complication. I only recommend that, while the dough cools in a glass, you put a with a timer. It does not matter if it is the oven or the mobile but program it to notify you after 10 minutes because the Thermomix will turn off and you will not know what temperature the dough is.

This recipe can be made with wheat flour or with a mix of gluten free flour of pastry. Thus, in addition to being suitable for lactose and cow protein intolerant, it will also be for celiac and gluten intolerant.

With these amounts you will get a large almoixàvena for the whole family. Depending on how the portions are cut, they can go out for more or less people. But note that you will have for about 12 servings.

It is best consume it in the day although it can also be kept in an airtight container to preserve all its smell and flavor.

I have never tried freeze it But, in principle, you shouldn't have any problems as choux pastry can be frozen and defrosts very well. Although I said, better to consume it in the day.
