Steps

2 hours

1

Prepare all your ingredients and equipment.
2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and mix them in. Gradually add the warm milk.
3

Once the dough feels smooth and uniform, add the butter, margarine, and shortening little by little, working them in with your fingers.
4

When the dough is ready, let it rise until it doubles in size.
5

While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. Mix the vegetable shortening with the powdered sugar.
6

For extra flavor, add the cocoa powder and continue mixing to form a paste for the topping.
7

When the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 10 portions of about 2 ounces (60 grams) each.
8

Shape each portion into a ball.
9

Roll out the topping with a rolling pin. Place it on top of each dough ball, using a little vegetable shortening to help it stick.
10

After topping all the dough balls, let them rise a second time.
11

Once they have doubled in size, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 to 25 minutes.
12

Remove from the oven and let cool. Enjoy!
