Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 ounce shortening
1 lb flour
1/4 ounce salt
1/2 liter water
1/2 lb butter (chilled)
5 1/4 cups Dulce de leche/caramel sauce (recipe follows)
3 ounces powdered sugar
Dulce de leche/caramel sauce
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Mix the shortening, flour & salt. Add the water slowly until you obtain the dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes. When you are ready to roll the dough, beat the butter to soften it. When partially softened, work it in the flour and continue until butter is smooth & easy to spread but still cold.
  • Lightly flour the dough & your hands. Form the dough into a rectangle. Fold the dough into three: fold the bottom third up to the middle; fold the top down to cover it (just as folding a business letter). Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Repeat this same process twice, including the resting periods.
  • After the resting periods, unwrap the chilled dough & flour it sparingly top & bottom. Then roll the dough rapidly into a big rectangle. Divide the dough into three rectangles 18x12 each. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Bake the rectangles in separate oven ready molds for 20 minutes each.
  • Let them rest until room temperature & stuff them with dulce de leche between each of the rectangles. Decorate with powdered sugar over the torta.
