- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 22 min
- Makes: 1 serving (100 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Lard
- 12 g Water
- 25 g Cane syrup
- 8 g Sugar, powdered
- 0.2 g Salt
Method
- Make an oil dough by working half the lard into a third of the flour; make a water dough with the remaining flour, lard, water and salt; rest both 15 minutes.
- Wrap the oil dough in the water dough, then roll out, fold and roll again a few times to build flaky layers, a classic laminated pastry technique; rest 15 minutes more.
- Cook the cane syrup, a stand-in for maltose, with the powdered sugar over low heat until it forms a thick, glossy paste; cool slightly.
- Wrap a portion of the sweet filling in the laminated dough, sealing well, and flatten gently into a disc.
- Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20-22 minutes until pale golden and flaky.
