Basque cake

Directions

For the cake, put all the ingredients together, mix well and let the dough rest in the fridge for half an hour. Divide it into two pieces. Place half of the dough on the base of a 26 cm round cake pan with non-stick paper and add the cream and the sliced strawberries. Add the rest of the dough to the top, connect the top and the bottom, carve the top of the dough with a fork, and smear with egg yolk. Bake at 180 C for 20-25 minutes. For the cream, put the egg yolks, half the amount of the sugar in a bowl, and mix well. Add slowly 100 gr from the milk and flour, while stirring. Put the rest of the ingredients in another pot and as soon as the mixture starts boiling, remove it and slowly pour it into the bowl with the yolks while stirring. Transfer to the cooking pot again on medium heat and stir until the cream is ready. Remove from the heat and add the butter.
