Morning Rolls

Ingredients for the Pastry:

• 100 grams water
• 100 grams milk
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of sugar
• 80 grams butter
• 130 grams flour
• 2.5 eggs (beaten)

Ingredients for the Cream Filling:

• 2 eggs
• 150 grams sugar
• 50 grams starch
• 400 ml milk
• 200 grams cold cream (heavy or whipping cream)
• Vanillin to taste

Decoration:

• Powdered sugar or melted chocolate

Preparation:

Prepare the Pastry:

1. In a saucepan, combine water, milk, salt, sugar, and butter. Heat until the butter melts.
2. Add flour, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps. Set the mixture over low heat, stirring for 5 minutes until it forms a dough.
3. Let the dough cool slightly before adding 2.5 beaten eggs, one at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
4. Spread the dough evenly in a greased baking pan. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden. Let it cool.

Make the Cream Filling:

1. Whisk 2 eggs, sugar, and starch until smooth.
2. Heat 400 ml of milk in a saucepan and slowly add the egg mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens. Let the cream cool and then cover to prevent a skin from forming.
3. Whip 200 grams of cold cream with vanillin until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cooled cream mixture until smooth.

Assemble the Rolls:

1. Cut the cooled pastry into smaller pieces or leave as a single large piece, depending on preference.
2. Spread the cream filling over the pastry. If you’ve cut it into pieces, you might want to layer them or roll them individually.

Chill and Serve:

1. Place the rolls in the refrigerator for a few hours to set.
2. Decorate with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
