How to use Champion Leaf Gelatine - Expert Guide (EASY!)
Leaf gelatine is a fantastic ingredient that can elevate your culinary creations, whether you're making a delicate dessert or a savory dish. It’s versatile and easy to use, making it a favorite among both professional chefs and home bakers. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to use leaf gelatine in your recipes, including homemade gummies!
What You’ll Need:
- Leaf gelatine sheets (Bronze, Gold, or Silver depending on your recipe)
- Cold water
- Your choice of ingredients for your recipe (e.g., fruit juice, cream, broth, etc.)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Bloom the Gelatine
Start by blooming your leaf gelatine. This process hydrates the gelatine and prepares it for use.
- Take the required number of gelatine sheets and place them in a bowl of cold water. Make sure they are fully submerged.
- Let them soak for about 5-10 minutes until they become soft and pliable.
2. Prepare Your Recipe
While your gelatine is blooming, you can prepare the rest of your recipe. Whether you’re making a mousse, jelly, or gummies, follow your recipe instructions until you reach the point where you need to add the gelatine.
3. Heat the Mixture (for Hot Recipes)
If your recipe requires a hot mixture, gently heat it on the stove.
- Once your mixture is warm (not boiling), remove it from the heat.
- Squeeze the excess water from the bloomed gelatine sheets and add them directly to the warm mixture. Stir until the gelatine is completely dissolved.
4. Cool the Mixture (for Cold Recipes)
