The main thing is that the products are fresh, the desire is huge, and the mood is excellent. If the guests are on the way, and there is nothing for tea, then it's time to start cooking! Ingredients: Dough:

Cooking method: To margarine well chopped, get it out of the refrigerator and let it melt a little, after grinding in a deep pot with a knife and mix with sifted flour of the highest grade. If desired, you can replace it with butter. In a separate bowl, combine a glass of cold shopping milk, a pinch or two rock salt, break one egg, then stir well with a whisk and add to the previous ingredients. Now knead the dough, first with a spoon, and then with your hands, and divide into several parts - from these ingredients they must go out ten or thirteen. Leave them at room temperature "rest" for 30 minutes, then roll them into thin round (or other) cakes and put them in the preheated oven. The optimum temperature is 190-200 degrees. Cooking products need to be until they get a ruddy-golden color. This dough is very tender, so the cakes are fragile and brittle enough. Carefully remove them from the oven, and the most unsuccessful use for decoration - well crush it with your hands, but rather with a mortar. There are mistresses who use a meat grinder for this. There is not only a lot of different recipes for Napoleon, but different creams for it. We offer you the simplest, but you can safely experiment with others. Whisk the eggs with sugar until a thick white foam, then add three tablespoons of wheat flour and one pasteurized milk (by the way, pre-warmed).

When the cream becomes moderately thick, remove it from the plate and allow to cool. In order not to spoil the mixture, be careful not to overexpose it, otherwise the egg will "curdle" and everything will have to start anew. When the cream is a little cool, cut the average pieces of 1/2 kilogram of fresh oil and carefully rub it with cream. Want to give it an unusual flavor? Then use vanillin or vanilla sugar. Someone likes to make the cake very sweet, some, on the contrary, prefer less luscious desserts. Therefore, if the cream seems too sweet or fatty to you, halve the amount of the corresponding ingredients. With a custard of fragrant cream, lubricate each cake, form a cake, cut off the edges and everything extra, and sprinkle the chips from above. To make it well soaked, put it in the cold for five to six hours. Preparation of such a cake is a pleasure!
