Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 4 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 lemon zest (grated)
- 2 tablespoons lemon marmalade
- vanilla powdered sugar
Tools
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Baking pan round 8.66 inches
- 1 Small pot
- 1 Lemon grater
- 1 Wooden spoon
- 1 Spoon
- 1 Napkin
- 2 Small bowls
- 1 Strainer
- 3 Trays
- 1 Oven
- 1 Parchment paper
Steps
Separate the yolks from the whites.
Separately, beat the yolks with half of the sugar.
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt and the other half of the sugar.
Once ready, gently mix the two parts and add the flour until you get a homogeneous dough.
Bake the dough in the oven at 356°F for 8 minutes, using a round baking pan of 7 inches in diameter covered with a sheet of parchment paper.
Once taken out, the dough should be wrapped and folded in a clean napkin.
Prepare the lemon custard according to the instructions of the custard recipe, adding the grated zest of one lemon. Let it cool slightly before using.
Unroll the dough.
Spread a layer of lemon marmalade and then a layer of cream, leaving a small space at the edges.Roll it up again like a “spiral” and place it in the refrigerator.
It must rest for at least 2 hours for the rolls to firm up just right.
Extract them, cut the ends, place each on a small tray and sprinkle with powdered sugar using a strainer.
Repeat the procedure for each snack.
Alternative Cooking
Since I went crazy, I wanted to try cooking them in a pan, on the large burner at minimum temperature for 7 minutes, using a sheet of parchment paper, wet with water and wrung out roughly. 😀
Suggestion
A cute idea for serving at a buffet is also slicing it into many micro rolls to eat in one bite.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can they be filled with other flavors?
Yes, of course, for example with orange marmalade, Nutella or whipped cream, or plum jam and chopped nuts.
