Yield: 12
Ingredients: 80 g butter; 150 ml water; 1 g salt; 3 g granulated sugar; 100 g plain flour; 3 eggs; 1 batch of butter-pudding cream (e.g., from 500 ml milk, 2 egg yolks, 1 vanilla pudding mix, 100 g butter, sugar to taste); 250 ml whipping cream; 1 stabilizer (optional); Fondant icing for decoration

Preparing the dough: Bring the water, butter, salt and sugar to a boil. Stir in the flour and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides. Let it cool slightly and gradually beat in the eggs.

Baking: Spread the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake first for 10–15 minutes at 200 °C, then reduce the temperature to 180 °C and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.

Cream and whipped cream: Cook a thick pudding and, after it cools, beat it together with the butter. Separately whip the cream until stiff (optionally with a stabilizer).

Assembly: Cut the cooled sheet of dough into two layers. Spread the bottom layer with the cream, layer the whipped cream on top, and cover with the second layer.
