Chopped cake with condensed milk

A cake made according to the rules of exemplary housewives of the XIX century! Studying recipes for Chopped cake on Internet sites, I was interested in the fact that there are, as it were, two recipes under the same name. The description of the cake, the cream are similar, but the recipe for the dough for cakes is different. I note that there are 2 similar cakes: Stepka-Rastrepka " and "Homemade Napoleon". I found the solution in the book "Exemplary Cuisine" of the 1892 edition At that time, except for such well-known types of dough as: Puff pastry, custard, etc. P., there was also Chopped dough, so it was called according to the principle of cooking, frozen butter was chopped with a sieve together with flour into grits and the dough was kneaded on this. Moreover, the book offered 2 recipes: 1- from chukhonsky butter, flour, eggs and water, which I used to make cakes, of course, I replaced the Chukhonsky butter with cream. 2- made of butter, flour, eggs and sour cream (so similar to the cake "Homemade Napoleon"). The dough rolls out perfectly, the pastries are very tasty. It is perfect for making cookies, cakes and other confectionery products. The most surprising thing was that after overnight soaking, the cakes did not soften, the cake soaked, and the cakes remained crispy.
