Instruction manual
1
Place butter, 150 grams of granulated sugar and pork fat in a saucepan. Put this mass on the fire and melt. After this procedure, let it cool slightly, and then put in flour and 2 eggs passed through a sieve. Stir the mixture very carefully. Thus, you have formed a dough for future cakes. Cover it with either a towel or a napkin and leave it to stand in the room for about an hour.
2
After the time has passed, knead the dough a little, and then pinch off a small piece from it, which is similar in size and shape to a chicken egg. This is more convenient to do, pre-lubricating the palms with oil. In the center of the resulting figure, make a small notch with your finger. Then put it on a greased baking sheet. So do with the whole test.
3
In the oven, heating it to a temperature of 170 degrees, send the future cakes in Colombian style for about half an hour - they should be covered with a crust of light golden color.
4
While the treat is baked, make vanilla sauce. To do this, break the remaining egg and separate its protein from the yolk. Combine the second with the remaining sugar and beat thoroughly. Put milk on the stove and bring to a boil. Once this happens, add it in small portions to the rest of the mass. Heat the resulting mixture with a water bath until it begins to thicken. Enter vanillin there and mix.
5
On a cooled pastry, put a chilled vanilla sauce with a spoon into a recess done with your finger. Garnish with dried fruit if desired. Colombian cornmeal cakes are ready!
