Ingredients
- 200 gr nata 7 oz clotted cream
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup 175 gr - 6 oz sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 gr 17.6 oz flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl put the natas, whisk until they fluff up a bit. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Once well incorporated, add sugar and mix.
- In a medium bowl sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to the mixture of wet ingredients gradually. Mix with a spoon until the point where it’s impossible to keep mixing with ease, now you have to incorporate the mixture with your hands until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Cover the dough with a plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; preferably overnight.
- Flour a smooth surface. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and spread on the floured surface. Knead until 1 cm (0.4 in) thick. With a round cookie cutter of 7 cm (2.75 in) in diameter, cut the dough.
- Place the dough in a non-stick pan over low heat (very low), give the first turn when they still look a little bit raw, this will make them rise well. When they are really puffed, turn again. (In total, you have to flip them 2 times)
Notes
You can cut them in half and use as a filling one of the following: Cajeta (Mexican caramel), jam, Nutella, chocolate syrup, etc.
