Preparation (12 steps)

Prepare the ingredients

Make sure you have all the ingredients at room temperature, especially the egg and butter. This is crucial for a good emulsion.

Cream the butter and sugar

Thermomix® Setting

30 sec/Speed 3

Place 150 g of butter and 40 g of sugar in the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 30 seconds/Stufe 3 until a smooth and creamy consistency is obtained.

Add the wet ingredients

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 4

Add 1 egg, 1 dessert spoon of vanilla essence, orange zest and 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl. Mix for 20 seconds/Stufe 4 until they are well emulsified.

Incorporate the dry ingredients

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 3

In a separate bowl, mix 300 g of 0000 flour, 1 dessert spoon of baking powder and ¼ dessert spoon of sodium bicarbonate. Sift the mixture directly into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds/Stufe 3 until the ingredients are integrated.

Form the dough and chill

Remove the dough from the bowl and form a ball. Stretch it between two sheets of cling film and refrigerate in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Cut the lids

After the cooling time, cut the alfajores lids with a cutter of about 5 centimeters in diameter.

Bake the lids

Arrange the lids on a floured baking tray and cook them in the oven preheated to 160 ºC for about 12 minutes or until the base is lightly golden.

Cool the lids

When the lids are cooked, take them to a rack to cool completely.

Fill the alfajores

Fill the lids by spreading 400 g of dulce de leche repostero on the curved part of each one. Join the lids to form the alfajores.

Melt the chocolate

Thermomix® Setting

3 min/122°F/Speed 2 50
