Instructions
Step 1
So, we are preparing the cake "Ladies fingers".
Add a glass of water, 100 grams of butter to a saucepan, put on medium heat. When the butter is melted and the water boils, reduce heat and add a glass of flour. While stirring thoroughly, keep on fire for about a minute. A homogeneous mass should form.
Step 2
Remove the pan from the stove, let the choux pastry cool, then carefully beat 4 chicken eggs into it. Mix well, add a pinch of salt. Get a piping bag or any other thick plastic or cloth bag with the tip cut off obliquely. Fill it with choux pastry. Grease a baking sheet with a little vegetable oil. Squeeze fingers about 2 centimeters thick and 6-8 centimeters long from the bag onto a baking sheet. Place them at a distance of 1-3 centimeters so that when baking, when they increase in volume, they do not stick to each other.
Step 3
Place the baking sheet in an oven heated to 200-220 ° C. When the "fingers" rise perceptibly (after 5 minutes), reduce the temperature to 190-180 ° C so that the dough can harden. The temperature difference is needed so that the eclair finger comes out with a spatula and carefully spread it on a dish.
Step 4
Prepare the cream. Mix one and a half glasses of sour cream with a glass of granulated sugar, add vanillin. Whisk well or in a mixer. Dip "fingers" one by one in sour cream and place on a platter in the form of a woodpile. You can put the eclairs in a bowl and pour over the cream. Then put the cake in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight so that it is soaked in the cream. Sprinkle walnuts on top, if desired.
