Butter should be at room temperature. You need 200 grams of it, the rest should be set aside for the cream. First you need to beat the butter a little, and then gradually add powdered sugar.

For the dough you only need one chicken egg yolk.

To make the dough elastic and airy, add mineral water and beat lightly.

Separately, mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the flour.

To make the dough crumbly after baking, you need to add starch to it. Mix starch, salt and flour.

Add some of the flour to the butter mixture and beat lightly.

After moving the dough onto the board, knead it, adding the rest of the flour.

The result should be a fairly elastic and tight dough.

To make the dough harden faster in the refrigerator, divide it into 4 parts and leave for half an hour.

In the meantime, you can make cream. In order to prepare a cream of ideal consistency for an anthill, you need to cook condensed milk yourself. This must be done very carefully and correctly, because the can may explode. Be sure to pour cold water into a deep saucepan and immediately place the jar there so that the water completely covers it. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Condensed milk should be cooked for exactly 1.5 hours. Then the result is not very thick, natural condensed milk without additives from manufacturers.

To make the cake not cloyingly sweet, add 100 grams of butter to the cream.

Meanwhile, the dough rested in the refrigerator. Let's pass it through a meat grinder and place it on a baking sheet with parchment in one layer.

You need to bake for 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

The resulting cake needs to be crushed into a bowl with cream and mixed.

Let's lay out the base first. You need to shape the cake as tightly as possible so that after hardening it is easy to cut, then it will not crumble.

Spread the mixture in a heap.

Now the “Anthill” needs to be left to harden in the refrigerator. To make this happen faster, let's wrap it up cling film most tightly, then the cake will be ready in 40 minutes.

The finished cake should be sprinkled with grated chocolate. Now our “Anthill” is ready. Bon appetit!

Next we will add flour and baking powder. The flour must first be sifted through a sieve. Mix everything, gradually kneading the dough. We won’t knead the dough for a long time, we just collect it into one lump, it should turn out soft and even a little crumbly.

Next, for convenience, we will divide the dough into four parts. We form a ball from each part of the dough, place it on a plate and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes so that the dough hardens a little. Next we will pass it through a meat grinder or we can grate it.

Half an hour passed, the dough froze a little and became tough. Now we pass it through a meat grinder or grater. Cover the baking sheet parchment paper if there is. If you don’t have paper, you don’t have to lay anything down, the dough won’t stick.

As soon as the dough is browned, remove it from the oven. It is baked for about 30 minutes at 180 C°. Let it cool a little and crumble it.

You can crumble the cooled dough with a rolling pin or with your hands. You shouldn’t chop too finely either, you want to get pieces like this.

And we put all this mass on a plate in the shape of a slide. Seal the cake and form an anthill.

To make the cake more like an anthill, sprinkle it with grated chocolate.

This is such a wonderful anthill. Now we put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so that it is well soaked and infused.
