Blanquets* of butternut squash jam
*Blanched is a type of rubiol that does not take on as much color as the other, and that does not contain sugar.
Ingredients for about 12 medium-small whites.
For the white pasta:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of olive oil
- 300 g of lard
- 800 g of loose flour
For the filling (scalloped pumpkin jam):
- 1 kg of butternut squash
- 1 kg of sugar
- the skin of a lemon
- 1 cinnamon stick
First we will prepare the pumpkin jam. Boil the pumpkin sliced in two pieces, and once boiled, separate the pulp and put it in a colander.
In a pot, put the pulp of the butternut squash, the sugar, the lemon peel and the cinnamon stick. We have to cook it over a slow fire, in 4 or 5 peaks, stirring all the time so that it doesn't stick.
Once the jam is made, we will prepare the whites. For the pasta, first put the water and oil in a bowl. We melt the saím and add it to the bowl. We will keep adding the flour until the liquid has all been drunk.
Knead the well-kneaded dough and we can now prepare the whites. For this reason, we will follow the same procedure as for the rubiols. With the help of a rolling pin, roll out a portion of the pasta until it is thin. We place a generous spoonful of the jam in the center of the pasta, and fold it to close in the shape of a half moon. We spit well after the filling, cut off the excess pasta and seal it with a fork or similar.
Once they are done, place them on top of a tin on baking paper and bake them at 150ºC for about 20-30 minutes. Once removed, let them cool, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and enjoy!
