Did you know that you can make an excellent lazy abalone napoleon using all the known puff abalones? These cookies are delicious, but when you eat them they always crumble. Why not make a dessert out of it, like a shortbread cake (a familiar cake from childhood).

Do not skimp on the cream for this cake, the more the better. The cake should soak for about 10-13 hours; I usually leave it on the balcony overnight.
Puff pastry 350 g; — milk 0.5 l; - chicken eggs 2 pcs.; - flour 2.5 tbsp. l.; - a pinch of salt; - sugar 4.5 tbsp. l.; - powdered sugar 2.5 tbsp. l.; — butter 200 g; - a pinch of vanilla.
First, place the butter somewhere near heat to soften it. It’s better to leave the butter in the kitchen overnight, then it’s better to whip it into the cream.
Pour the cookies out of the bag; immediately set aside about four cookies to sprinkle on top of the cake. The basic process of making this Napoleon cake involves boiling the custard. Whisk the eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt. Add a little flour to the eggs and continue beating until smooth.
Heat the milk on the stove, without bringing it to a boil, in a small ladle or saucepan. Then pour in the milk in a thin stream, without stopping stirring the eggs.
Now put this cream mixture on low heat. Stir the cream constantly with a whisk until it thickens. Remove the custard from the stove and add vanilla. Cover the cream with cling film and place it on the balcony to cool. Stir the cream occasionally to help it cool faster. The cling film will prevent a crust from forming on the cream.
Beat the butter and powdered sugar with a whisk or mixer.
Once the custard has cooled down, add it in parts to the butter and continue whisking. The result was a delicate and silky butter custard.
Place the cookies on a flat plate in the shape of a square or rectangle.
Apply cream to the first layer of cake. Then form the remaining layers in the same way, sparing the cream.
Grind the previously set aside cookies into crumbs in a mortar. There is no mortar, use a rolling pin for dough, wrapping the cookies in a napkin.
Now sprinkle the entire cake on top and sides. Place the cake on the balcony to soak.
Serve the Napoleon cake chilled, cutting it into pieces.
