Custard Cookies

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make custard cookies? Prepare the products. Sift the wheat flour into a deep bowl. This will enrich it with oxygen, which will make the baking more lush, airy.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour water into a saucepan with a thick bottom, add butter and sugar to it and bring to a boil.

3. Step 3:

   

   In one motion, pour all the flour at once and start stirring intensively. Stir until the dough comes together in one lump. Set aside the dough in this form and let it cool down to a warm state. It will take about 10 minutes. To speed up the cooling process of the dough, you can place the pan with the dough in a basin of cold water.

4. Step 4:

   

   As soon as the dough cools down, start putting eggs into it one at a time. Broke one - and start mixing it into the dough with active movements. Be patient and keep stirring until the egg completely interferes with the dough. Then break the next egg and continue stirring. So stir in 3 eggs and look at the consistency of the dough.

6. Step 5:

   

   The finished dough should be smooth and drain from the shoulder blade with a ribbon, forming a triangle. If the dough is still steep, take the fourth egg, break it into a bowl, shake it thoroughly with a fork, add a third of the egg to the dough, mix, check the consistency. And if necessary, add another third of the egg, mix. I needed three and a half eggs.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the dough in a pastry bag, I used the nozzle "closed star". If there is no pastry bag, use a sturdy bag, put the dough in it and cut off a corner about 1 centimeter in size. You can also use a spoon: set off or put future cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. I got 16 cookies with a diameter of about 5 centimeters.

8. Step 7:

   

   Bake in a preheated 200 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes. Then reduce to 170 degrees and bake for another 10-25 minutes. It may take a little more or less time, be guided by your oven. The finished cookies should be rosy, airy and easy to move away from the parchment. With a crust on the outside and hollow on the inside. It remains to choose the filling, sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy. Enjoy your meal!
