  • Ingredients

    Ingredients for 4 people: For the pastry: 125 g of flour 125 g of butter 50 ml of water 1/2 tsp of salt For the custard: 100 g of sugar 50 g of flour 2 egg yolks 2 whole eggs 1/2 l milk cinnamon

  • Preparation

    Make the pastry with the flour, water and salt. Once the dough is ready, leave to stand for a while and add the butter. It is best to roll the dough with a rolling pin and use a glass to cut the circles. To make the custard, simply mix the egg yolks, a whole egg, the flour and the sugar. Heat the half litre of milk in a pan with the cinnamon and when it comes to the boil, pour onto the custard mix to produce an even consistency. To make the 'pantxineta', simply place the custard between two layers of pastry coated in beaten egg. When the batch of 'pantxinetas' is prepared, sprinkle with chopped almonds and place in the oven at a medium heat.
