• sugar – 2 cups;
• butter – 250 gr.;
• milk – 800 gr.

To make the butter easy to grate, chill it in the freezer.

Quickly rub the flour and butter mixture with your hands to form a homogeneous mass. Separate two yolks into a 250 ml glass or cup, add salt and vinegar and mix well. Fill the same container to the top ice water and immediately pour the resulting mixture into flour mixed with butter.

Knead the dough with your hands, divide it into 9 parts, from which we form individual lumps. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for about an hour.

At this time, we begin preparing the cream. Mix sugar, flour and eggs in a small saucepan. Pour the mixture with milk and start heating over medium flame.

Do not forget to stir the cream so that there are no lumps and the cream does not burn. After bringing the custard to a boil, remove from heat and leave to cool. Add softened butter to the cooled mass and beat thoroughly with a blender.

Roll out thin cakes from the chilled dough and bake each on a dry baking sheet. Before sending the cake into an oven preheated to 180 degrees, it must be pricked in several places. Bake each cake until browned. Bake the ninth cake a little longer to get brown crumbs, which will be used for topping.

Baking time will depend on the features of the oven, but usually 10-15 minutes are enough for one cake.

Grease the finished cakes with cream, pressing each of them with your hands. Decorate the top with crumbs and leave the birthday cake for several hours to soak.
