Zubereitung von Napoleon Torte
- **Make the Pastry:** In a large bowl, cut 2 cups (250g) cold unsalted butter into 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 cup (240ml) sour cream until just combined.
- **Chill the Dough:** Form the dough into 10 equal-sized balls. Wrap each ball individually in wax paper and refrigerate overnight.
- **Roll and Bake:** Let the dough stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a very thin (1/16 inch) circle. Prick the circles all over with a fork.
- **Bake:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Make Filling #1 (Custard):** In the top of a double boiler, whisk together 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in 2 cups (480ml) hot milk until smooth.
- **Cook the Custard:** Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens. Temper 2 large egg yolks by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot mixture. Pour the tempered yolks back into the double boiler and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Cool completely.
- **Make Filling #2 (Cream):** In the top of a double boiler, heat 2 cups (480ml) milk, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 30 minutes). Slowly whisk in 2 large egg yolks in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Cook and stir for 10 minutes. Chill completely.
- **Prepare the Buttercream:** Beat 1 cup (2 sticks) (225g) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the chilled milk mixture from step 7 until smooth and creamy.
- **Assemble the Torte:** Place one pastry layer on a serving platter. Spread with either Filling #1 or Filling #2. Continue layering pastry and fillings, alternating until all layers are used. Finish with a layer of pastry.
- **Frost and Crumble:** Frost the top and sides of the torte with the remaining filling. Crush the remaining pastry layer and sprinkle the crumbs over the top.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Serves 30.
