Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20-30 minutes Total time: 1 hour Number of servings: approximately 30 walnuts Ingredients: For the dough: - 300 g lard (or margarine) - 8 tablespoons vinegar - 3 eggs - 6 tablespoons sugar - 1 packet of ammonia extinguished with a little lemon juice - 7 tablespoons oil - 1 essence of rum - Zest of 1 orange - 1.1 kg flour (approximately, depending on the desired consistency) For the filling: - 700 ml milk - 5 tablespoons flour - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 7 tablespoons sugar - 2 tablespoons cocoa - 1 essence of rum - ½ pack of margarine (or butter) - Ground walnuts (approximately 200 g) - Powdered sugar (for decoration) Preparation technique: 1. Preparing the dough: - In a large bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy. - Add the softened lard and oil, mixing well to achieve a homogeneous consistency. - Incorporate the vinegar, ammonia extinguished with a little lemon juice, rum essence, and orange zest. These ingredients will give a delicious fragrance and a special flavor to the dough. - Start adding the flour gradually, mixing continuously. It is important to obtain a dough that is easy to shape but not too soft. Adjust the amount of flour if necessary. 2. Shaping the walnuts: - Preheat the baking mold (usually a special mold for walnuts) and grease it with oil to prevent sticking. - Form small balls from the dough and place them in the heated mold. Press lightly to give them a uniform shape. - Bake the walnuts until they turn golden on both sides, approximately 10-15 minutes. Check them frequently to avoid burning. 3. Preparing the filling: - In a pot, bring 700 ml of milk to a boil along with the vanilla sugar. - In another bowl, mix the remaining 200 ml of milk with the flour and sugar. Ensure there are no lumps. - Once the milk in the pot boils, add the milk and flour mixture and stir continuously until the mixture thickens like pudding. - Remove from heat and add the cocoa, mixing well to avoid lumps. Let the cream cool. - When the cream is cool, add the pieces of margarine, rum essence, and ground walnuts, mixing until you achieve a homogeneous consistency. If you want a richer filling, you can add a bit of the cleaned and ground walnut edges. 4. Assembling the walnuts: - After the walnuts have cooled, clean the edges where necessary. - Fill each walnut with the chocolate and walnut cream using a teaspoon or a pastry bag for a more elegant look. - Finally, roll the walnuts in powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serving and suggestions: These filled walnuts are delicious served as they are, but they pair perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or hot tea. Also, feel free to gift them to friends or family, beautifully packaged in a decorative box. Practical tips: - Ensure that the lard is at room temperature to incorporate more easily into the dough. - Don’t forget to allow some time for the walnuts and filling to cool, as this will help achieve a better texture. - You can experiment with various types of nuts or other flavors in the filling, such as vanilla or almond essence. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use another type of fat instead of lard? - Yes, you can use margarine or butter, but the taste will vary. 2. How can I store the filled walnuts? - They store well in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator for a longer duration. 3. Is it possible to prepare the filling without milk? - Yes, you can use plant-based milk, such as almond or soy milk, for a lighter version. These filled walnuts are not just a sweet recipe, but also a way to bring people together. Cooking is an art that connects us, and with each filled walnut, you bring a touch of joy into the lives of your loved ones.
