Puff pastry cake with custard

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Cooking custard. We drive an egg into a saucepan, add sugar and corn starch.

2. Step 2:

   

   Whisk everything thoroughly with a whisk.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour in the hot milk and mix.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cook the cream over moderate heat with continuous stirring until the first bulek.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add butter to the hot cream and mix everything well until the butter dissolves. You can pre-beat the softened butter with a mixer to a white fluffy mass and add it to the cooled cream. Choose the option you like. We leave the cream to cool, just during this time it will thicken to the desired consistency.

6. Step 6:

   

   We defrost the dough to the point where it will be possible to work with it. We spread a layer of dough on parchment, sprinkled with flour. The dough can be thinner or thicker. For example, in a package weighing 1 kilogram, the dough is thick, and in a package weighing 500 grams, the dough will be thinner. Keep this in mind when choosing a dough, because the height of the cakes will depend on its thickness.

7. Step 7:

   

   Cut the layer into 8 equal rectangles: cut along into four parts and across into two.

9. Step 8:

   

   Transfer the parchment to the baking sheet.

10. Step 9:

    

    Preheat the oven to a temperature of 200 degrees and bake cakes in it for 15-20 minutes. They should rise and blush.

11. Step 10:

    

    Now we cut each blank into 2 parts across: it turns out the bottom and the top.

12. Step 11:

    

    Lubricate the bottoms with custard. Put more cream so that the top sticks well.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cover the bottoms with the second halves.

14. Step 13:

    

    Remove the toasted layer from the top - it will be sprinkled. Spread the top with cream and sprinkle with crumbs. You can also make a crumb from one cake. We do this with all the blanks. Ready-made cakes are given time for impregnation.
