For the Banana Pudding:

6 egg yolks
125 grams of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
2 bananas that are ready to eat.
1 liter of milk
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
20 milliliters of milk
For a dessert called Bananas Foster:

Pour milk over the mixture of egg yolk and banana, then whisk everything together.

Put the cornstarch in a small bowl and pour in some milk. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Add the milk and cornstarch mix to the bowl with the egg yolk and banana mix. Stir everything together well.

Put the mix in a pot and cook on low heat while stirring with a whisk to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

Put butter in a pan and let it melt.

Sprinkle sugar on top of melted butter, stir thoroughly, and heat until melted.

Put the bananas foster on top of the banana pudding, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.

Ingredients

• • 250 g flour
  • 170 g butter (softened)

• 100 g sugar (50 g for the dough + 50 g for sprinkling)

Directions

1. 1. Preheat the Oven:
      • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. 1. Prepare the Dough:
      • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and 50 g of sugar. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be well-blended and pliable, making it easy to shape.
   2. Shape the Cookies:
      • • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between each ball to allow for spreading during baking.

       

      • Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern. This not only flattens the cookies but also gives them a classic butter cookie look.
   3. Add the Finishing Touch:
      • • Sprinkle the remaining 50 g of sugar over the cookies. This will give them a delightful sweetness and a slight crunch.

       

   4. Bake the Cookies:
      • • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
        • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and enhances their melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Cooking Tips

• • Butter Softening:
    • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. This ensures a smooth, well-incorporated dough.
  • Flavor Twist:
    • • For an extra flavor twist, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough. You can also experiment with almond extract or a pinch of cinnamon.

    • If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake, as they can become too hard.
