Cooking method

Cooking time: 5 h

1. Chop margarine into pieces, grind with flour (2/3 cup) with your hands into crumbs, roll into a ball. In a separate bowl, sift the remaining flour, add salt, lemon juice. Break an egg into a glass, add water, stir and pour into flour. Knead the dough.

2. Roll out the dough into a layer, spread margarine with flour on it (which was rolled into a ball), roll it out and fold it with an envelope. We send it to the refrigerator for half an hour. After 30 minutes, we take out the dough, roll it into a rectangle and form the envelope again. Cool again in the refrigerator for half an hour.

3. Rub the egg with white sugar, add vanilla, mix. The next step is to pour the milk and send it to the fire, bring it to a boil (do not boil it), remove it from the fire and cool it at room temperature.

4. The dough is divided into 6 equal parts, each of them is rolled into the thinnest layer and baked at a temperature of 200 degrees for 5-10 minutes (until a light blush).

5. Softened butter is combined with the cooled milk mass, whipped with a mixer, turning into cream.

6. Lubricate each cake with cream, trim the edges, cutting off excess. The cut pieces are crushed and used for sprinkling on top.

7. We give Napoleon a proper soak, for which we put him in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (preferably overnight).

Serve on the table, bon appetit!
