To prepare a delicious dessert, we will start by making the dough. In a large bowl, we crack a few fresh eggs and mix them with sugar, including vanilla sugar, until we get a creamy and fluffy foam. This process is essential, as the incorporated air will give our preparation a light texture. Once we achieve the desired consistency, we add the grated lemon zest, which will provide a note of freshness and intense flavor, then we gently mix to incorporate it evenly.
We continue by gradually adding the oil, being careful to incorporate it well before adding the next drop. Then, we pour in the milk and the ammonium extinguished with lemon juice. These ingredients will contribute to the fine and fluffy texture of the dough. After we have combined all the liquid ingredients, we start adding the flour, little by little, continuously mixing until we obtain a soft, non-sticky dough. It is important not to overdo it with the flour so that the dough remains light and pleasant.
Once the dough is ready, we divide it into equal pieces – I got 6 portions – which we will roll out with a rolling pin. Each piece should be rolled into a thin sheet, and at the end, we prick them here and there with a fork. This step is essential to prevent excessive puffing of the sheets during baking. We place the sheets on the back of a baking tray and bake them at a medium temperature of 160 degrees Celsius for 5-6 minutes, or until they become slightly golden.
Meanwhile, we prepare the delicious cream. In a saucepan, we boil the milk with a vanilla pod cut in half. This will intensely flavor the cream. Separately, we mix the flour with cornstarch and sugar, add the grated lemon zest, and gradually pour in the hot milk, continuously stirring to avoid lumps. We put the mixture on the heat, stirring, until it thickens. Once the cream reaches the desired consistency, we add the lemon juice and mix well. After the cream has completely cooled, we incorporate the soft butter, mixing until homogeneous.
Now, we are ready to assemble the dessert. On each sheet of dough, we add a few tablespoons of cream, spreading it evenly over the entire surface. We continue with another layer of sheet, followed by cream, until we finish all the ingredients. Finally, we cover the dessert with plastic wrap and let it chill overnight. This waiting will allow the flavors to blend perfectly, resulting in a refined, delicious, and flavorful dessert. The next day, we can enjoy this delicacy, admiring its appearance and savoring its fine texture and divine taste!
