Ingredients

Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Butter - 14.1 oz
Sour Cream - 8.8 oz
Sugar - 1½ cups
Vanilla salt - 2.1 oz
Activated Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon
Egg white - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 22.9 oz
Whole egg - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, cut 250 grams of butter into the flour (about 400 grams) and rub it with your hands, then add the vanilla sugar (1 packet — 30 grams) and baking soda, and mix. Next, add two eggs and the egg white, and incorporate the sour cream. Mix thoroughly. Knead the dough until it doesn't stick to your hands; if necessary, add a little more flour.

Step 2

For the filling, mix the remaining flour (200 grams) with the butter (150 grams). Then add the sugar and vanilla sugar, and mix.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 3 parts. Roll each part out (about 3 mm thick) and evenly sprinkle with the filling. Roll up into a log and cut into small pieces.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the gata on it. Brush the top with the egg yolk diluted with milk. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F until golden brown. Allow to cool.
