• ¾ cup Milk
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

---

Steps

1. Combine the 3 cup sifted flour and salt in a large bowl. Add 250g (8oz) unsalted butter in chunks, 3 egg yolks, ¾ cup milk, and 2 tsp vanilla extract and work to form a dough of medium consistency. Mix using a fork, two knives, or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Do not use your hands as the body heat will melt the butter.
2. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Part 2 / 2: Assembly & Baking

Ingredients

• 750g (3 cups) Dulce de leche
• 562g (2½ cup) Chopped walnuts
• ¼ cup Powdered sugar

---

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
2. Divide the dough into 14 equal portions. Roll each piece on a floured baking sheet or parchment paper until thin. Using a paring knife, cut circles 8" in diameter. Pierce the circle of dough with a fork across almost the entire surface.
3. Bake each circle over an ungreased baking or cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes until golden. Let cool.
4. Assemble the cake filling between each layer with 3-4 tbsp of Dulce de leche. For every three layers, add ground chopped walnuts, saving 1 cup for decoration.
5. Cover the whole cake with a thin layer of dulce de leche and sprinkle with a mixture of walnuts, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and crumbs.
6. Let it rest, covered in the fridge. Serve at room temperature.
