Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of very cold water
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 cups of non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup condensed coconut milk (taste for sweetness, add more as you like)
- 2 heaped tablespoons cornstarch
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
Preparation
- Mix the flour with the salt, sugar and butter in such a way that the butter is well incorporated and results in a consistency like wet sand. A food processor can be used for this for better results.
- Add the water little by little until a dough forms. It will be loose but when pressed with your hands it will feel more like a dough.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Roll out the dough and cut into round or flower shapes and using a pan for tiny muffins, place the cut out pieces of dough in each space and push to form a deep base.
- Use a toothpick to make holes and thus prevent the dough from inflating when they are baked.
- Bake them for 20 minutes on medium heat or until golden.
- To make the filling, mix the cold milk with the cornstarch in a small saucepan.
- Turn on the heat and add the rest of the ingredients.
- While it is cooking it must be stirred constantly to maintain a silky consistency.
- Let it boil and thicken.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool down a bit to fill the pre-cooked dough.
- Let cool completely, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
