Dry Custard cake

If the puff pastry is frozen, it needs to be defrosted. To do this, it is enough to put the package with the dough in the refrigerator and leave it overnight. During this time, it should thaw. Defrosting in this way is safe, slow defrosting is the best thing for the test.

1. Divide the dough into equal parts. We roll out each part as thinly as possible. If you plan to make a square cake, then you can swing the cakes in the shape of a large baking sheet, and then divide them into two parts. So the baking process will be even faster. If a round cake is planned, then the cakes should be cut off immediately by attaching a flat plate of the desired diameter to the rolled dough. It is also convenient to use a cooking ring for pruning.

2. Bake the cakes in the oven preheated to 200 degrees, for 7-10 minutes, until a beautiful blush appears. Ready-made cakes should not be soft and bend, but on the contrary - they are dry, brittle. We spread the finished cakes in a stack on top of each other.

3. Pour the dry cream into a saucepan. Here we pour flour and sugar (we leave a spoonful of sugar), mix the ingredients thoroughly into a homogeneous powder. Pour cold milk into the resulting mixture (leave 50 ml for the yolks), rub the mass until smooth.

4. We send the pan to the fire, add butter to the cream. The oil is pre-cut into cubes, so it will dissolve faster in the cream. Cook the cream over very low heat, stirring continuously.

5. In a small container, spread the egg yolks, pour a small amount of milk to them and pour the remaining sugar, rub the mass with a fork. When the cream boils, we introduce yolks into it. This should be done carefully, pouring the yolk mass in a thin trickle and stirring the cream continuously. Cook the cream for another 5-7 minutes, then remove from the heat. The cream turns out to be very thick, fragrant.

6. Let the cream cool down to room temperature, and then smear the cakes. Each subsequent cake is lightly pressed with our hands to the previous one to seal the cake. Decorate the delicacy with crumbs. It can be made from scraps of cakes.

7. Chop walnuts into crumbs, sprinkle them on the surface of the cake. We send the cake to the refrigerator overnight (about 8-10 hours). The cakes will be soaked during this time, the cake will become soft.

Before serving, the cake can be additionally decorated to taste, for example with berries or confectionery sprinkles.

Eat with pleasure!
