PUFF PASTE, SWEDISH STYLE (Svensk smordeg)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup margarine
5 Tablespoons ICE WATER
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
Measure flour into mixing bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture is very fine. Mix 5 tablespoons ICE WATER with the vinegar and add to flour mixture. Quickly gather in a ball and roll out on lightly floured board to 14" x 10" rectangle. Fold in 3 layers. Take left side and right side of the ends of dough and fold to the middle, then take the folded ends and close like a book. Make a quarter turn; repeat rolling, folding and turning 3 more times. Chill, well wrapped in foil or plastic, 1 hour or overnight. NOTE: Stockinet rolling-pin cover and pastry cloth are helpful in rolling puff paste.
1 recipe Puff Paste, above
Milk
6 teaspoons granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar
Sugar sprinkles or candied fruits
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
THICK applesauce, flavored with lemon juice to taste
Custard Cream Filling
Divide puff paste in 5 parts. On floured pastry cloth with floured stockinet-covered rolling pin, roll out each part to paper-thin thickness and cut in 9" circle, using layer-cake pan as guide. Re-roll scraps to make the sixth circle.
Put circles on ungreased cookie sheets and prick with fork. Brush with milk and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
Bake in very hot oven (450 degrees F) 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on sheets.
Decorate ONE circle with confectioners' sugar, sugar sprinkles and whipped cream (SEE NOTE below)
Before serving, put layers together ALTERNATELY with applesauce and Custard Cream Filling and top with decorated layer.
