How to make "Thin cake layers"
1. Sift flour into a deep bowl. Cut the chilled butter into small cubes or grate.
2. Crush everything into a homogeneous crumb. Add sugar and yolks. For flavor, you can use vanilla or cinnamon, for example.
3. Chop the almonds, add them to the dough. Mix everything well until smooth.
4. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in foil or parchment and refrigerate for about half an hour.
5. Divide the cooled dough into 5 equal parts.
6. To prevent the dough from melting from the temperature of the hands, I recommend rolling it between two sheets of parchment.
7. Cut to the shape you want to bake.
8. Transfer the dough gently into a heat-resistant form, send to the oven preheated to 180 degrees.
9. The cake is baked quite quickly, only 12-15 minutes.
10. Cool the finished cakes and brush with cream. Enjoy your tea!
