ALFAJORES DE MAIZENA
1 can sweetened
condensed milk
200g flour
300g corn starch
200g butter
[room temperature]
150g sugar
1 package vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons milk
[or Cognac]
for the Dulce de Leche cream:
_ in a large pot bring plenty of water to a boil
_ remove label from can
_ submerge can in the boiling water [lying on its side]
_ cover with a lid and simmer for 3 hours
[make sure the can is ALWAYS covered with water - check like every 20 minutes]
_ remove can from water
_ cool completely before opening
[otherwise it will shoot you with a fountain of boiling dulce de leche]
for the cookies:
_ place flour, corn starch, sugar and vanilla sugar onto a flat surface in front of you
_ form a little volcano
_ cut butter into small cubes and rub into the dry ingredients
_ add milk and quickly knead into a soft dough
[dough will be quite unwilling to stay together - add 1to2 teaspoons if necessary]
_ preheat oven to 180°C
_ roll out dough [2-3mm thick]
_ cut out small circles [go for rather small circles - the cookies are intense enough as they are]
_ place onto a baking sheet [place rather tight - they will only rise a little]
_ bake for 10 to 12 minutes [should stay super light in color]
_ let cool
_ make little cookie sandwiches [cookie - dulce de leche - cookie]
_ dust with powdered sugar
