MEXICAN SHELLS 😋
Ingredients:
500 grams of flour
120 grams of sugar
115 gr of icing sugar
4 eggs
A teaspoon of salt
120 grams of butter
Half a tablespoon of baking powder
Sunflower oil
100 ml of water
Preparation:
- Sift 500 gr of flour together with 60 gr. sugar and baking powder.
- With the help of a mixer we mix everything with 60 gr. of butter. Work the dough until it is homogeneous.
- Then we add another 60 gr of sugar and another 60 gr. butter, and mix again.
- We beat the eggs together with the water and the powdered milk, and add it to the mixture that we have previously obtained, and all this with the sifted flour.
- We work the dough until we get an elastic texture. Then, we sprinkle flour on the counter and knead.
- Make a ball with the dough, paint it with a little oil and put it in a container. Then, cover with a cloth and let rest for an hour.
- Then, we knead again, cover the dough with film and reserve it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
- Take the dough out of the fridge, let it warm up and then make balls with the dough and flatten them.
- Place the shells on a baking tray lined with baking paper. If we want, we can use a shell marker or make the grooves with a fork or knife.
