Ensaimada de crema

A cream ensaimada is a variant of the traditional ensaimada, which is filled with custard. The ensaimada is a typical sweet of the Balearic Islands, particularly Mallorca, and is made with a dough of flour, water, sugar, eggs and lard.

The ensaimada de crema follows the same basic process as the classic ensaimada, but with the addition of a delicious custard filling. Here is a description of the general process for this variant:

Preparation of the dough: Flour, water, sugar, eggs and lard are mixed to form a soft, elastic dough. This dough is kneaded and left to ferment.

Forming the spiral: The dough is rolled out into a thin sheet, spread with more lard and rolled into a spiral.

Adding the cream: Before the dough is rolled into a spiral, a layer of custard is spread over the dough. The dough is then carefully rolled up with the cream inside.

Leavening: The spiral is left to rise again to increase in volume.

Baking: The ensaimada is baked until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Decoration: Once baked and cooled, the ensaimada is sprinkled with icing sugar.

The custard used in the ensaimada de crema is a sweet, smooth mixture made from milk, sugar, eggs, flour (or cornflour) and vanilla, which is cooked until it thickens. This filling adds a rich, creamy flavour and texture, making ensaimada de crema a particularly delicious dessert popular with sweet lov
