It is important not to digest the syrup, therefore it is recommended to cook no more than 8 minutes. Cooking time also depends on the dishes used.
Beat the protein thoroughly with a blender. It is important to boil the syrup and beat the protein almost parallel so that the latter does not donkey. Next, pour the sugar syrup into the protein. It is necessary to continue whipping it. At first, the protein will slightly decrease in volume, but after a while it will become lush, thick and will perfectly retain the given shape.

Cooking a cake
By choosing one or even several recipes and preparing a cream, you can proceed to the manufacture of tubes. The task is not easy. To make it easier to understand the process, we divide it into step-by-step actions.
- We break the eggs. Separate the yolks from the proteins. Spread the yolks in a separate container. Add lemon juice and 200 ml of water. If desired, salt can be added.
- With a spatula, knead the dough to a stretching uniform consistency. If flour “absorbs” a lot of water, add water. If the dough turns out liquid, on the contrary, add flour. It needs to be kneaded for about 10 minutes. The mass should be well separated from the hands. Then put on a lavishly floured surface. Cover with a bowl and leave for 30 minutes. The dough should become more elastic.
- Knead the butter in a separate bowl. Add flour and mix thoroughly. The oil in the composition will help layering the dough. From it you need to form a flat rectangular cake.
- Cut the dough with a knife in the form of a cross, add a little flour and roll out with a rolling pin so that the middle of the layer is thicker than the edges. In the center of the dough, lay out the prepared cake of butter mixed with flour. We cover it with the long edges of the layer and pinch the edges.
- The resulting "envelope" is again put on the table, sprinkled with flour, using a thick rolling pin, starting from the middle, we roll out the dough layer in the shape of a rectangle 10 mm thick. Then with a soft brush we remove the excess flour and fold the envelope four times. Then a roll is formed with 4 layers of oil. We cover the dough with a napkin and give it 10 minutes, then again sprinkle flour on top and bottom. We roll it again to a thickness of 10 mm. And so on, until 256 layers are formed.
- Roll out the dough into a flat layer having a thickness of 5 mm, divide it into strips. We hold a conical paper tube, attach the end of the dough to the narrow end of the tube. Turning the tube, we impose on it a test strip spirally. It is important that the edge of the test of the previous layer is on the other. All you need to do 6 curls.
- We spread the tubes with the dough on a cold baking sheet. Lubricate with an egg. Turn on the oven at 240 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. Removing the tubes from the oven, remove the paper.
- And now what they have been waiting for so long. Using a pastry bag, fill the tubes with prepared custard. You can use two different fillers and squeeze them in turn. Add sugar powder for taste. Dessert is ready!
Cooking wafer rolls
To make wafer rolls, we need:
- egg - 4 pcs.;
- flour - 1 tbsp .;
- sugar - 1 tbsp .;
- butter - 200 g;
- vanillin.
Beat butter. Add the egg and sugar. Whip again. After pouring flour. The resulting dough should be thick. Grease the waffle iron with oil. Warm up, spread the dough. Turn on the waffle iron and wait for readiness.
Put the finished waffle on the table. Lubricate with custard and quickly twist. Custard cream for wafer rolls can be prepared and protein, and chocolate, and caramel.
