How do I make sand dough baskets with cream? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Use prime grade wheat flour. Butter should be room temperature, so take it out of the fridge beforehand. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.

In a bowl, combine the oil at room temperature with the sugar, salt and flour and rub with a whisk.

Add the yolk and grate again until smooth.

Pour in the flour sifted with the starch and quickly knead the soft, plastic shortbread dough.

Once the dough starts rolling into a single ball, wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough by the number of baskets (I have 10 pieces) and distribute it by molds. To better remove baskets from the molds, sprinkle flour on the molds in advance. Tip the bottom of the baskets with a fork.

Put the dough molds in the fridge for 30 minutes. Bake the baskets in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 10-12 minutes until half cooked.

Meanwhile, make the custard. You can only use yolks or replace them with 2 large eggs. The result will be approximately the same. If you use 2 whole eggs along with proteins, it is not necessary to add flour.

Heat the milk in a saucepan over a low heat, but do not bring to a boil.

In a bowl, combine the yolks with the sugar, vanilla sugar and flour and grind with a whisk until smooth.

With constant stirring, pour some milk into the yolk mixture with a thin stream. No lumps should form in the mass. Stirring, pour the milk-yolk mixture into the saute pan to the rest of the milk.

Return the saucepan to the stove. Simmer the cream with constant stirring until thickened. Do not bring to the boil, otherwise the cream will separate. You do not need to thicken the cream very much, It must remain fluid.

Pour the cream into baskets and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. The cream should grip and thicken a lot. Cool the finished baskets at room temperature and carefully remove from the molds. If the baskets are poorly taken out of the molds, you can knock on the molds with a knife.

Fresh raspberries or any other fruits or berries to taste are suitable for filling.

Place raspberry berries over the custard. Garnish the cakes with mint leaves and serve. Enjoy your meal!
