Ingredients:
- 3 egg yolks
- 80g of sugar

- 2 tablespoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation:
1. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, cream, milk and starch. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Beat in cold butter, cover, and set aside to cool completely.
2. Beat the egg with sugar, milk and oil. Add dry ingredients (flour, milk, and baking powder). Knead to make a soft, sticky dough.

4. Cut the dough with a square cookie cutter. Fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway.
