Ant Hill Cake without Condensed Milk Recipe
The Ant Hill cake is one of those cakes that we have known and loved since childhood. Sweet, delicious and easy to prepare. In the classic version, the sand crumbs are mixed with a cream of butter and boiled condensed milk. But, high-quality boiled condensed milk is very difficult to find now, and you don't always want to cook yourself, and sometimes it's dangerous. Therefore, I suggest that you prepare a simple and relaxed (due to the minimum amount of butter) cream.

Instructions
  1. In the bowl of the combine, with the nozzle "knives", sift flour (flour may need a little more or less, so it's better to add 200 g, and the rest of the amount to postpone) and soda. Add salt and sugar (it is better to use fine granulated sugar or replace it with powdered sugar). Cut the cold butter into cubes and add it to the bowl too. You can also do everything manually, just rub all the components with your hands until flour crumbs form.

  5. Grate the frozen dough on a coarse grater. On one baking sheet - half of the dough. The baking tray does not have to be sprinkled with flour (it was an experiment). Spread the dough evenly over the entire baking sheet.

  6. Bake in a preheated 180 g oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. During baking, remove the baking sheet 2-3 times and turn the dough over with a spatula so that it is evenly baked. Transfer the finished dough to a bowl and cool. The cooled dough is crushed with a rolling pin or manually so that large pieces remain.
