Ingredients
2 instant yeast
½ cup(s) sugar
1 lactocrema (sour cream)
5 eggs
1 cup(s) cornstarch
1 salt
1 cup(s) warm milk
4-5 flour
1 sweet anise
For the filling:
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 can(s) evaporated milk
1 cup(s) milk
2 cornstarch
1 egg yolk
1 cup(s) grated coconut
Directions
  1. Mix the flour with the 2 tablespoons of yeast incorporated into the flour. Continue beating. Then add half of the warm milk. Add the rest of the flour and milk until you get a homogeneous dough that doesn't stick to your fingers. If necessary, add more flour.
  2. Then in a plastic bag, add a little oil and place the dough inside the bag, remove the air, tie it, and let it rise for 1 or 2 hours.
  3. Cut the dough into small pieces and stretch into a rectangular shape. Make slits with a knife on both sides and fill the center with the cream, then form a braid.
