How to make a simple Napoleon cake at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Put the butter in the freezer for 30 minutes to freeze a little. Grate the frozen oil over a coarse grater into a dough bowl. Pour the layers of grated oil with flour so that it does not stick together.

Quickly grind the flour and butter into crumbs.

Then add the sour cream, egg and soda slaked with vinegar.

Knead the dough. It is not necessary to interfere with it for a long time so that the oil does not have time to melt. When the dough comes together in a lump, put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

Prepare the necessary ingredients for the cream. Combine the eggs, flour, vanillin and some milk in a bowl and mix well until smooth so there are no lumps. This can be done with both a simple whisk and a mixer.

Pour the rest of the milk into a non-stick saucepan and add the sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar crystals.

With constant stirring, add hot milk to the egg mixture. Stir, pour everything back into the pan and return the whole mass to the heat.

Over a medium heat, bring the cream to thickening, stirring constantly, otherwise it will burn. Cover the finished cream with cling film in contact and place in a cool place to cool completely. Turn on the oven 190 degrees beforehand.

Remove the dough and divide it into 8 parts. Before rolling out, store all the parts in the refrigerator and get out one at a time.

Roll out the first part of the dough very thinly and cut out a circle of 22 cm diameter from it. After baking, it will become 20 cm. It is best to roll out immediately on pastry paper, and then transfer it directly on it to a baking sheet. Do not remove the trimmings. Bake with the bark. They will go to sprinkle cake. Place a baking tray with the future bark in the oven, warmed to 190 degrees and bake until golden.

This way bake all the cakes

Rinse the corgis with the cooled custard.

Collect the whole cake. Place a small load on top so that the cakes are more tightly adjacent to each other when impregnated. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours. A little cream should remain on the coat of the last bark and sides.

Grind all the trimmings into crumbs.

Coat the cake on top and sides with cream and sprinkle with crumbs. And remove again for soaking. It is best to give such a cake for impregnation for a day.

If you love Napoleon with a little crunchy bark, then you can not stand for a day.

Simple home Napoleon is ready. Have a nice tea party!
