As promised is a debt here I bring you for those of you who have prepared the bacon from heaven, and for those who have not also of course, the recipe for using the leftover egg whites to make a Laza’s white bib. A typical cake from this council of Ourense, which you have surely heard of on some occasion because of its famous carnivals.
You will see that it comes out of a very white color and with a delicate texture, all contributed by the egg whites. In addition, with its unmistakable cream flavor, this sweet halfway between a sponge cake and a bread, since its dough does not contain yeast, will conquer you at snack time to drink with a coffee or why not, to accompany a shot of a good Galician pomace. The truth is that you feel like it at all times.
Start by reserving 50 g of sugar and preheating the oven to 200 degrees Whip the very cold cream with a mixer, making sure that it has more than 35% fat, until it is very firm. Save it for later.
With the rod mixer, beat the twelve egg whites at room temperature in a very large container. As we beat, add the sugar little by little so that it is incorporated and continue until they form peaks. Reserve. Sift the flour and add it to the whipped egg whites, mixing gently so they don’t go downsince it will be what contributes sponginess to the bica.
Mix the whipped cream until we see it integrated into the dough. Arrange the dough in a rectangular metal mold about 35 x 25 centimeters And have high walls. In my case I have not greased it since I lined it with non-stick baking paper. If you do not have this type of mold you can cook it perfectly in a round one. Sprinkle reserved sugar on top to form a crust.
Bake for forty-five minutes at 180 degrees or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Leave it for a few minutes to temper in the mold and transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling before chopping and consuming, freezing, etc.
With what to accompany Laza’s white bica
The Laza’s white bib it stays tender for several days and is even better the day after being baked. It is perfect for treating yourself at breakfast or snack time, accompanied by a glass of fresh milk or a cup of coffee, tea or your favorite drink.
