• For Pastry:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream (regular or light)
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • all-purpose flour enough to make soft dough
• For cream:
  • 1 liter of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup of milk (this is not a mistake)
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 5 very full tbsp flour
  • 3 sticks unsalted butter

*1 stick Butter = 1/4 pound = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 4 oz = 115 g

So let’s start.
First of all I created pastry:
Take frozen stick of butter, grate and chop with a knife, add eggs and sour cream and mix it till they blend well.

Start adding flour, make soft smooth dough. Don’t knead it too much, just enough to make it smooth and “un-sticky”.

Split dough into 16 pieces. Cover the dough with plastic, and put in the fridge to chill.

While I waited while it’s chillings, I started to prepare cream.
I separated egg yolks and stir them very well with sugar and a pinch of salt – until mix turns very light yellow.
After it, I started add flour, it must be mixed well. To the mix I added one cup of cold milk and mixed it well wit avoiding of lumps.
Pour 1 liter of milk into thick bottom pot and bring it to boil. Don’t use aluminum pots – it will burn! and constantly stirring it.
When it started to boiling, reduce the heat to low, and pour the cream mixture into boiling milk very slowly, using a whisk to stir the cream.
Bring the mixture to boil again, constantly stirring it. When it starts boiling, you will see it become thicker. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, don’t forget to stir at all times.
Add vanilla if you like it when cream is ready.
You need to cool the pot till room temperature.

While it’s cool, I prepared second part of cream.
Take frozen stick of butter, grate and chop with a knife and blend well.

Add cooled cream from pot by parts and every time mix it till it blend well.

When it was ready, i returned to pastry.
Take one by one of dough from the fridge, roll it into a very thin crust on well floured surface – as thin as you can, forming a round crust.

You can use plate or cover of pan, as me, to cut the perfect circle.

This is result.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees of Celsius. Roll the crust onto rolling pin, and unroll it onto ungreased baking sheet.

Pierce crust with the fork all over. Bake in the oven for 2 minutes or until lightly golden. Don’t over bake. It is better when it is not dark.

And repite 15 times. The last crust bake a little longer than others, letting it turn brown. We will use it for crumbs.

Pour part of cream and spread evenly on the crust. Periodically have a press on crusts.

Repeat it for every crust. Also you need pour cream on sides of cake.

So the last thing that I did it crushed the brown crust. You can do it by folk or by using the rolling pin.

Pour the crumbs over the top layer of the cake and sides.
Now you need to put the cake to refrigerator for night.

It was amazing and fun experience! Last time we was on such event was in  Israel- Tel-aviv. The city views looks much nicer when you are on roller. Especially the you can view all the famous places in a very interesting point of view and much more quicker what you can not do by just walking.
It is must seen attraction in London but mostly it is the best experience even once.

London Friday Night Skate Official Site

This is not our video from the skating, but it is show how match fun we had.

When the time for the vacation came,  and we were in the Ben Gurion Airport, we were surprised to found out that we had a special aircraft just for the Skideal clients and everybody flying to a ski vacation. So we felt very special everywhere was their logo and in we even got small presents from Skideal, It was a candy and air pillow, so I now I have something that will remind me this trip forever.
The exciting part of our flight was when we needed to lend, usually the flight time about 3 hours, however because of the bad weather conditions when we prepared to land, the airport of Verona did not accept it. So our aircraft did circles in the air extra one hour, after we finally land other airport of Italy for refill gas. The gas refilling took another hour. So we landed in Verona airport after six hours only.

Sella Ronda

Recommendation:

Sella Ronda – the most recognized ski route of the Dolomites. It cover four Ladin valleys: Val di Fassa, Val Gardena,  Alta Badia and Livinallongo.

• 1100 km
• 450 lifts
• Snowparks
• 20 black slopes
• 115 red slopes
• 140 blue slopes

Like you can see lot of slopes is blue, so if you like speed (like me) the place is not for you.

Dolomiti Superski liftpass provide you ability to check your ski statistics. Because all your ski activity during the day is tracked, you can pirnt out a record of what lifts you used, how many vertical metres you skied and where you went day by day. Data is available on the day after you ski. Link

Campitello

This is small village with nice hotels. We stay in hotel Ramon, nice place with clear, beautiful rooms and sauna. There was one problem that their salads for dinner was not variety, every day was same salads.

We choose the hotel because of it was near of ski lift. But to get to ski area without stay in line we had to be on lift enter at 8:00 AM. The lift is working from 8:30 AM till 5:15 PM, but we get first lift at 8:10 AM. If you come at 8:10, you we have to stay in line 15 – 30 min.

Sella Ronda – Orange Route

Recommendation:

On first day we decide to do Orange route of Sella Ronda. This is route around of mount Sella Ronda by clockwise. This is round route, this is mean in end of rout you will come to start. There was different types of slopes. But what spoil the mood, is several blue slopes and transition with ski removing.

• 22 lifts
• 6472 m height difference
• 35 km slopes length.

The rout take half day.

Sella Ronda – Green Route

Recommendation:

Green route is better than orange. But there is same blue slopes and transitions.  In additional lot of people choosing the green route, so you will see here more people than on orange route.

• 23 lifts
• 6472 m height difference
• 35 km slopes length.

The rout take half day.

Recommendation:

Also Campitello have ice rink. Last time that I did ice skating on natural ice was 14 years ago, in Russia. It was great.
