torta de hojas

torta de hojas
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 7/8 cup butter
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup water


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix together the flour and baking powder; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Blend in the egg yolks, one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. The dough will be stiff like a cookie dough.
  3. Divide the dough into 10 pieces and shape into balls. Roll each ball into a 9-inch circle. Place on cookie sheets and prick with a fork in several places.
  4. Bake cookies in batches in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are just starting to brown. Let cool.
  5. In a saucepan, boil the unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours. Monitor the water closely to make sure there is always water covering the cans. Remove cans from heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. In a small measuring cup, combine the brandy and water.
  7. Place one cookie layer on serving plate. Brush with brandy mixture, then spread with the now-thickened condensed milk. Sprinkle with nuts. Continue stacking until all layers are used.
