Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12-15 islere

Necessary ingredients

*For the dough:*
- 300 g wheat flour
- 200 g margarine (we recommend Rama for a better taste)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch of salt (2 g)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 25 ml yogurt (or sour cream, for a richer flavor)
- 1 teaspoon ammonia (to make the dough fluffier)
- 2 tablespoons warm milk
- 1 egg

*For the cream:*
- 250 g butter (minimum 80% fat)
- 300 g granulated sugar

*For the glaze:*
- 100 g chocolate (preferably dark or semi-bitter for a pleasant contrast)

Step by step to a perfect result

1. Preparing the dough
Start by combining the flour with the margarine in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to knead the margarine until the mixture resembles fine sand. This technique helps incorporate air and achieve a fluffy dough.

2. Adding wet ingredients
Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt, mixing gently. In another bowl, mix the ammonia with the warm milk. It is important for the ammonia to dissolve completely to prevent a bitter taste. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg and yogurt. Mix everything until you obtain an elastic dough.

3. Shaping and baking the islere
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 5 mm thick. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out dough discs. Place the islere on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (medium heat) for about 20 minutes, or until they turn slightly golden.

4. Preparing the cream
Meanwhile, while the islere are baking, prepare the cream. Beat the room temperature butter with the granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and homogeneous. This will be the cream that fills the islere, so make sure it is well mixed.

5. Assembling the islere
Once the islere have cooled, take two and fill them with the butter cream. Do this with a knife or spatula, ensuring a generous amount of cream. Over each filled islere, carefully pour the melted chocolate glaze. Let the islere cool at room temperature.

6. Cooling
It is essential to let the islere cool for at least 24 hours, but ideally, you should prepare them 3 days before serving. This waiting time allows the flavors to meld, and the texture to become perfect.

Useful tips for a perfect result

- Choosing ingredients: Use quality margarine for a better dough. By replacing yogurt with sour cream, you can achieve an even richer flavor.
- Storing islere: They can be stored in an airtight container, and their taste will continue to improve over time.
- Vegan option: You can replace butter with margarine and the egg with a mashed banana or a mixture of water and flax seeds (1 tablespoon of flax seeds with 2 tablespoons of water, left to sit for 15 minutes).

Combining with other recipes or drinks

These islere can be perfectly paired with a cup of aromatic coffee or a relaxing herbal tea. Also, for a special occasion, you can serve them alongside vanilla ice cream or fresh fruits for a contrast of textures and flavors.
