For the Cream:
Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, unsalted butter, baking powder, and powdered sugar. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.
Gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour while kneading the mixture by hand until it forms a cohesive dough ball. Divide the dough into two equal parts and refrigerate them for 20 minutes.
Step 2
After chilling, grate the dough using a grater or pass it through a meat grinder to create fine crumbs. Spread these crumbs out on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 20 minutes.
Make sure to stir the crumbs a couple of times during baking to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature boiled condensed milk with soft butter. Mix them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Step 4
Once the crumbs are done baking and have cooled, combine them with the prepared cream, mixing gently until everything is well incorporated.
Using silicone molds or a small coffee cup that has been moistened in water, create small mounds with your mixture to form the “ant hills”.
Step 5
Feel free to decorate the cake as you wish! Once you’re satisfied with the decoration, serve your creation and enjoy a delightful tea time!
Servings
Feeling adventurous? Pair these pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side for an extra touch of indulgence. 😋 For added flair, sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top. Your guests will be singing your praises!
Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. Ensure it's large enough to handle the dough without spilling over.

Faq
- Can I use less sugar in the dough?
Yes, you can decrease the amount of powdered sugar according to your personal taste, but note that it may affect the texture of the dough.
- How can I tell if my dough is ready?
The dough should come together into a ball and be slightly sticky but not overly wet. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour gradually.

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before using it.
- (Intermediate) Can I use different fillings for my Ant Hill pastries?
Yes! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like fruit preserves or chocolate ganache for a fun twist.
