Method

1

Whisk together all the dough ingredients except the flour, place over low heat, and warm while stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

2

Remove from the heat, gradually stir in the flour, and mix until you get a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands. Divide the dough into eight balls, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge.

3

Now let's make the custard. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl, mix thoroughly, and also cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

4

Take it off the heat and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool completely!

5

Roll out the dough layers very thinly (about 2 mm!) and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 3 to 5 minutes each.

6

Trim the baked layers to your desired shape, and save the scraps for the crumb coating, which I blitz in a blender.
