Cooking
First prepare the custard. I made it in advance and did not do a step-by-step. And recipes custard a lot, you can cook your ljubimomu recipe. In a nutshell, how I do it. Milk bring to a boil. While the milk on the fire, mash the egg with sugar and flour ( I substitute the flour for pudding, the result is remarkable). When the milk boils, add it a small amount to the egg-sugar mixture something to "temper" the eggs. While stirring continuously. Then pour the remaining milk, return the pot to the heat and, stirring constantly, to wait thick. Quite a few minutes. Cool. The cream we need thick.
Almond cream. A butter to pound with powdered sugar.
Add the egg and almond flour. Beat, but not for long.
To connect with sawanoi cream and almond cream. Mix well. Send for 15 min in the fridge.
Cut out two circles of dough with a diameter of 26cm. I have the dough ready. One of them lay on a baking sheet. On the dough put the cream. I used a pastry bag but a spoon is also very bad at it))) Leave 2 cm at the edge free.
In frangipan hiding figure. Edge brush with beaten egg.
Here is my small collection of figures.
Cover with a layer of dough. Make a small hole in the middle. Edges pin with a blunt side of a knife.
Apply a drawing. This should be done cautiously, trying not to cut the dough, otherwise the filling will leak out. Brush with beaten egg. Bake in a preheated 200 g oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 and bake for another 30 minutes.
Merry Christmas to You my dear!!!
