Ul Boov (Mongolian Ceremonial Layer Cake)

- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (87.3 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
- 8 g Sugar
- 8 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.3 g Baking powder
- 10 g Milk, whole
- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 3 g Raisins
Method
- Makes 1 disc (one layer); multiply by 7 or 9 for a full ceremonial stack. Mix the flour, baking powder, egg, milk and half the sugar into a firm, smooth dough.
- Roll the dough into a round disc a little larger than your palm and score a decorative pattern, traditionally resembling the sole of a boot, across the top with a knife.
- Fry the disc in the oil, or brush with the butter and bake, at 180 °C (350 °F) until deep golden and crisp: 3-4 minutes per side if frying, or 12-15 minutes if baking.
- Cool completely.
- To build the ceremonial stack, layer the discs, always in an odd number, with a little of the remaining sugar and the raisins between them, largest at the base, and decorate the top with more sugar and raisins.
