Australia Day Lamingtons | Dan Churchill


what up legends of food you Dan
Churchill here back for other exciting
meditation is coming your way and today
I’m really really naughty up I’m gonna
introduce to you the Australia Day
lamington super sexy super simple
all right guys coming close Joe let’s
get them into it so we’re doing gluten
free today I’m going to use almond meal
but traditionally you don’t have to do
that you can use typical flour and they
get nice and puffy and sponge so we’re
gonna make like a sponge so just add wet
to dry here we’ve got some amazing
almond meal we’re gonna add a pinch of
salt now I got gluten-free baking powder
so got dry ingredients all sorted then
cracking some eggs and you can use an
electric mixer but make sure you get
them light and fluffy the secret to good
lamingtons is the aeration this reminds
me well as with my old man and he always
used to make me use a handheld whisker
to do any form of baking this one’s for
you pop super fluffy that’s what we’re
looking for I’m going to add the coconut
oil and you can use any form of fat here
you can use butter you can use even
olive oil if you wanted to I’m using
coconut oil just because I have around
the house and I think it accents the
natural sweetness you’re gonna have in
these beautiful spongy lamingtons but
are lamingtons Lovington are these
traditional things that we would have on
Australia Day you’d have these beautiful
long table lunches of barbecue spreads
and at the end of it a big tray of these
chocolate coated with coconut dusted
sponge bits of goodness and that’s why
I’m making for you today and trust me
that everything you want and more
welcome to Australia yeah alright now
it’s time to add in the start of our dry
ingredients
I’ve got coconut sugar you can use
natural sugar you can use brown sugar
you can use honey or rice malt syrup or
one of those things as well
yeah that’s that richness I was talking
about the coconut sugar then in gradual
fashion it’s time to add in our rest of
our dry so just getting in with this
little bad boy nice and light and fluffy
and this is where it’s really important
you want to give it love bitter stirring
okay so just go over here a square line
baking tea in a preheated the oven to
three ninety five Fahrenheit which about
180 degrees Celsius
you’re going to get our batter i spongy
goodness into a bowl and i’m wearing
white so this is a massive test in
itself to not get any baking naughtiness
on me whatsoever flattened out beautiful
and simple preheated oven 180 degrees
celsius and through my legends that’s
gonna cook for about 35 to 40 minutes or
until you insert a knife into the very
center comes out clean now let’s get
started chocolate sauce now chocolate
sauce this one’s dairy-free it’s not
your average chocolate sauce we’re going
to show you how to make one from scratch
so i’ve got a coconut oil again you can
use butter or something that’s bit more
applicable to you you don’t have to
follow the rules never any rules to
cooking so that just goes in i’m gonna
dissolve some honey in that so just on a
medium heat with a touch of honey always
give it a drama i love this hello lovely
ah starting to really caramelize check
this out
get in tight see that the bubbles are
created that’s the burst of all those
natural sugars alright times add a cacao
cacao is the rawest form of chocolate
it’s bubbling away you’re looking for
the thicken up and every smell is
chocolate sauce amazing so i’m going to
take that off the heat and with that
we’ve got quality coconut milk this is
really important make sure you get
quality coconut milk and that’s gonna do
some amazing amazing things
there’s a beautiful squares already
waiting for some lathering of chocolate
sauce so first you need to get your
little bit of chilly goodness
to help stack on top of each other like
so make sure you coat all sides because
this is going to act as our glue to get
that coconut to stick and now they have
cooled it’s time to get a snowflake
coconut dust on now this is the part
brings back so many memories as a kid on
Australia Day or a pregame Australia day
it’s amazing that when you went to
school your friends would have the
better one their mum and make a better
one than yours when you go to Australia
barbecues and parties at the end of
table after you see all the savory
goodness there’d be like four or five
different types of lamingtons all with
little Australian a flag sticking out of
them some filled with jam some sandwich
together at the end of day this without
being gluten free this is your
traditional one just sponge chocolate
sauce and coconut and there you have it
