Brief history
Cream rolls have a long tradition in our kitchens, being a popular dessert both on special occasions and at everyday meals. They are appreciated for their crispy texture and airy filling, having a versatility that allows them to be served as a dessert or snack.

Step by step in preparation

1. Preparing the dough
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the salt, baking powder, sparkling water, and oil until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- Start adding flour gradually until the dough becomes easy to work with. It is important not to add too much flour at once, to avoid making the dough too hard.

2. Rolling out the dough
- On a floured work surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Make sure it is neither too thick nor too thin, to achieve crispy rolls.

3. Incorporating the butter
- Divide the packet of butter into 3 equal parts. Spread one part of the butter evenly over the dough sheet.
- Fold the sheet into an envelope shape, ensuring that the edges stick well. This process will create delicate layers in the dough.

4. Resting in the fridge
- Place the dough envelope in the fridge for 20 minutes. This step is essential to allow the butter to solidify, which will help in forming crispy layers.

5. Repeating the process
- Remove the dough from the fridge, roll it out again into a sheet, and spread the second part of the butter. Fold it again into an envelope shape and refrigerate for another 20 minutes.
- Repeat this step for the third part of the butter, ensuring the dough is well chilled between each stage.

6. Forming the rolls
- After completing the three butter spreading stages, cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Each piece will turn into delicious rolls!
- Roll each piece into a thin sheet and cut into strips. These strips will be rolled onto greased wooden molds. Start from one end and roll tightly, being careful not to force the dough.

7. Baking the rolls
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat). Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Once ready, let them cool slightly, but don't leave them too long, as they are more delicious warm!

8. Preparing the filling
- Meanwhile, prepare the cream according to the instructions on the package, adding the cold milk and cream stabilizer. Whip well until you achieve an airy and fluffy consistency.
- Add fructose or powdered sugar to taste, adjusting the sweetness to your preferences.

9. Filling the rolls
- Once the rolls have cooled, use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each roll with cream. Ensure that the filling is evenly distributed.

10. Serving
- Dust the rolls with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. These rolls are delicious served cold, alongside a cup of aromatic coffee or tea.

Useful tips
- If you want to save time, you can use melted butter instead of cold butter in the spreading stages, but this will affect the texture of the layers.
- You can experiment with different fillings, such as vanilla or chocolate cream. You can also add flavors, such as vanilla extract or almond essence to the cream.
- The rolls can be stored in the fridge for a few days, but they are best consumed fresh.

Variations
- You can turn this recipe into a fruit dessert by adding slices of fresh fruit to the filling, such as strawberries or peaches.
- For an extra splash of color and texture, try adding chocolate chips or ground nuts to the cream.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use other types of oil instead of sunflower oil? Yes, you can use coconut oil or olive oil, but these will influence the final flavor of the rolls.
- How can I make the rolls lower in calories? Replace the butter with a plant-based alternative and use diet cream. You can also reduce the amount of added sugar.
- Why are layers formed in the dough? The process of spreading and refrigerating allows the butter to solidify and create airy layers, giving the rolls a crispy and delicious texture.

These cream rolls are a true delight and will surely become a favorite recipe among family and friends. Don't forget to share the results of your preparation with your loved ones! Enjoy!
