Ingredients for the pastry:
- 200 g butter (82% fat, cold)
- 200 g flour
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- Flour for rolling out the dough (or starch, according to preference)
Ingredients for the cremsnit cream:
- 9 egg yolks
- 9 tablespoons flour
- 150 g butter
- 1.850 l milk
- 300 g sugar
- Vanilla (to taste)
Preparing the cream:
1. Start by heating the milk in a medium-sized pot. When the milk is warm, set aside a cup of it (to use with the egg yolks).
2. When the milk is almost boiling, add the sugar and vanilla. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks with the flour and the reserved cup of warm milk. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous composition.
4. When the milk begins to boil, pour the egg yolk and flour mixture into it in a thin stream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Continue stirring over low heat for about 5 minutes, until the cream thickens. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove the pot from the heat and add the butter. Stir until completely melted and let the cream cool to room temperature.
Preparing the pastry:
1. Start by washing your hands well and keeping them in cold water to avoid warming the dough. This is an essential step to achieve a flaky pastry.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cold diced butter, flour, sour cream, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
3. Form a ball from the dough and sprinkle a little flour on it. Place the dough on a well-floured work surface (a baking sheet is ideal) and roll it out into a rectangle using a well-floured rolling pin.
4. Fold the dough into thirds, bringing the top part over the bottom, then folding it from left to right. Gently press the edges with the rolling pin to seal them.
5. Repeat this folding and rolling process five times. Finally, roll the dough out to the size of the baking sheet, rolling it gently.
6. Wrap the dough in a spiral shape, then cut it in half. From each piece, roll out a sheet to the size of the baking paper.
Baking:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the two sheets of pastry on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Once baked, let them cool slightly.
Assembling the cremsnit:
1. If desired, you can crumble one sheet of pastry (or use it whole) and place it at the bottom of a tray.
2. Pour the cremsnit cream over the pastry, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
3. Place the other sheet of pastry on top, ensuring it is well positioned.
4. Sprinkle powdered vanilla sugar on top and refrigerate the cremsnit for a few hours, ideally overnight, to firm up.
Serving and suggestions:
Cremsnit is served cold, ideally enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. You can decorate it with fresh fruits or caramel sauce to add an extra touch of flavor. You can also experiment with different vanilla flavors or add a hint of citrus to the cream.
Nutritional information:
Each serving of cremsnit contains approximately 250-300 calories, making it an indulgent choice that is worth savoring in moderation. This dessert is rich in protein due to the eggs and milk, providing a dose of energy and satisfaction.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of milk (e.g., almond or soy milk)?
- Yes, you can replace cow's milk with plant-based alternatives, but keep in mind that the texture and taste may change.
2. How can I keep the cremsnit fresh longer?
- I recommend storing it in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
3. Can I freeze the cremsnit?
- While it is possible, it is better to freeze only the pastry and cream separately. Assemble the dessert before serving.
I encourage you to try this delicious cremsnit recipe, which will not only bring joy to your tables but will quickly become a favorite among your loved ones. Indulging in childhood memories will make you return to this recipe time and again! Enjoy your meal!
