Little Mikes

I had some free time this morning. I decided to cook. The most difficult thing is to translate. Probably most of you know them with another name. Here we call them “miguelitos”, something like “little Mikes”. Summarizing: puff pastry with cream :)

We´ll need:

1. Puff pastry. Can you believe it?
2. One egg.

Extend the puff pastry and well, you know what to do with the egg :)

With a paintbrush, paint your puff pastry with the egg. Then, cut the pastry as you like!

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

Bake at 180ºC, 10-15 minutes.

For the cream:

1. 36 grs of cornflour.
2. 90 grs of white sugar.
3. 500 ml of milk.
4. 4 yolks
5. Lemon peel

1. Mix sugar and cornflour.
2. Add the yolks
3. Stir well.

Meanwhile:

1. Add milk to the mix and stir again.
2. Add the lemon peel.
3. Cooking at low temperature, keep stirring until you get a thick texture.

1. Put the cream on a plate.
2. Remove the lemon peel.
3. Cover the cream with transparent paper.
4. Wait until it gets the ambient temperature.

Keep an eye on:

1. Remove when is golden.
2. Wait and cut them.

1. Fill the puff pastry with the cream.
2. Cover with sugar glass.

ENJOY :D
