Ingredients:
For the test:
- wheat flour - 180 g;

- egg yolk - 1 piece;

For cream:
- cream 33% - 50 ml;
- fresh thyme - 5 g;
- honey - 50 ml;
- egg yolk - 2 pieces;
- Wheat flour - 10 g.
Preparation
So, first we prepare a dough with you. This is simple: we sift the flour first. Then on top of it we rub on a large grater frozen butter and mix everything thoroughly until a uniform soft mass is formed. We knead the dough well, so that there is no flour left. We form a ball from it, wrap it in a food film or a plastic bag and put it away for half an hour in the fridge, and best of all in the freezer.
Then, a well-chilled dough is kneaded and divided into small serving pieces. We leave a few small balls on the cutting table, and we remove all the rest in the refrigerator again, taking out as necessary. Each piece is slightly rolled out and we form circles with a hollow in the middle, that is, small bagels, only without a hole, but simply with a small depression. Lubricate our buns with egg yolk, diluted with water, and put them for 8 minutes in a preheated to 180 degrees oven.
This time, pour the cream into the dippers, set it on a weak fire and heat them to a temperature of 60 degrees. Then we put fresh thyme and leave the cream for a while to stand and cool. Then gently pull the thyme and again put the cream on the fire. Separately whisk 2 egg yolks and gradually pour them into the hot creamy mass, constantly, interfering. Then sprinkle a little sifted flour and gently pour pre-melted warm honey. Thoroughly mix the whole mass and cook the cream on low heat until it becomes thick.
The final stage of preparation is decoration. The figs are washed, dried with a towel and cut into halves. Then we dip each piece into the cream and put it into the hollows of the cake. Lightly pour on top of the cream and decorate the flowers with thyme. That's all, deliciously tender cake, just melting in your mouth, ready.
