1 Weigh all the ingredients and prepare 12.5 cl of water. Pour the milk, the water, the shredded butter into the pan.

Step 4

4 Pour the flour at once , stir quickly with the spatula to incorporate it. Put back on the heat, stir quickly 1 min

▪ Preheat the oven to 170 ° C (Th.3 - 4) or 150 ° C (Th.3) if it is on a rotating heat, before starting the dough: it should be cooked as soon as possible.
