Step by step recipe

Preparing a puff base

1. Pour 450 g of sifted flour into a bowl and rub 250 g of margarine into it. It should be cold, but not frozen, so that it rub well and do not crumble.
   
2. Grind the mixture of flour and margarine into crumbs.
   
3. In a separate bowl we combine 1 chicken egg, 150 ml of water, 1 tbsp. l vinegar and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
   
4. Pour the mixture into flour crumbs, gradually stir and collect the resulting dough into a lump.
   
5. We do the following manipulations several times with a lump of dough: knead it with our hands to a more or less flat state, wrap the edges inward, bend it in half and knead again. We collect the dough in a lump, wrap it in a cling film so that it does not wind off, and send it to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
   
6. After the specified time, we take out the dough and roll it into a thin cake. We cut it in the form of a baking sheet.
   
7. And then cut into strips of 1.5-2 cm wide. We don’t throw out the dough, because they are useful for decorating the cake.
   
8. We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and put strips of dough on it. Bake in a preheated to 180ºC oven for 20-25 minutes.
   
9. The obtained sticks are cooled to an acceptable temperature before the next cooking step.
   

Cream

1. Beat soft butter (300 g) at room temperature for 5 minutes with a mixer to increase in volume.
   
2. Add 1 can of condensed milk to it and mix until smooth.
   

Serve the cake

1. We put a wide piece of cling film on the work surface and a little grease with cream for the stability of shortcakes.
   
2. Spread a layer of puff sticks and grease them with cream.
   
3. Repeat the procedure until the ingredients run out.
   
4. Now tightly wrap the cling film, forming a roll. First, leave it at room temperature for 1 hour, and then send it to the refrigerator for 7-8 hours or at night.
   
5. We unfold the cling film and sprinkle the cake with crumbs from the prepared scraps of dough or extra sticks.
   
6. In the context of the finished cake will really resemble a log with the original annual rings.
