This morning the daughter put forth a riddle: "What did the elephant when he came on the field?" Of course, I knew the answer, but showed a meditation on the face for a few minutes, and then gave the correct answer.
But after that phrase about Napoleon did not leave me until the evening. Opening his notebook with recipes, I am confident gait walked into the kitchen.
Why is this cake called Napoleon there are several versions, I tend to stick to the one which says that this cake was popular during the reign of Napoleon III. And he called the "Millefeuille", which means "a thousand layers".
Napoleon cake is that you can not cook for 30 minutes, so if you promise, then it is not Napoleon, but some improvisation. My friend is preparing a similar cake from purchased puff pastry, do 30 minutes, but all the "salt" of the cake in the shortcakes, so we will not be lazy and get started!
For Napaleon required for the test:
Ingredients: pastry / cakes

Optional

First mix the oil and flour. It can be in a blender.
Egg whisk slightly and add to the dough to the cold water. Knead the dough.
Next, you need to form 11 balls of this test. 10 cakes directly for the most cake, and one cake of powder (choose a bad cake and use it as a powder on top of the cake).
The oven is on, so that it was hot. Then roll out the dough each ball
and submit it in the oven, maybe a lot of cakes, not to spend the night in the oven, I immediately on large baking several cakes to bake, that essentially saved me time.
The oven should be nearly at the maximum temperature. The residence time of the cake there from 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cake. I hope you do not need to say that the thinner the cake, so it tastes better.
While cakes are baked, let us cream.
Mix 4 eggs and a cup of sugar, you can not whip, simply mix thoroughly.
The pan pour 500 ml of milk, sugar and add eggs and 50 grams of flour. On medium heat, continuously stir the contents of the pan, until the cream starts to thicken. Finally, add 50 grams. butter, it will give the necessary color and elasticity cream.
If you do not want a very rich cream, then it should stop. Wait until the cream has cooled and grease cakes, as I did.
If you are supporter of classical recipe, then cooled custard, add a packet of butter, which is to lie down at room temperature for about an hour, and all beat with a mixer. Coat the cakes and sprinkle cake crumbs the last cake.
Cake must stand for several hours, the cream soaked, but if not the strength to endure the non-fire!
