Brushwood cakes with curd-butter cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace vodka with cold water or sparkling water to achieve a similar crisp texture, though vodka helps reduce gluten formation for a lighter result.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The brushwood may lose crispiness over time, so serve fresh if possible.
Yes, ensure eggs are sourced ethically, and use plant-based milk in the cream. The recipe is already vegetarian as written.
Try almond flour or coconut flour in a 1:1 ratio, but note the texture will be denser. Adjust liquid as needed for consistency.
Fry at the right temperature (170–180°C/340–355°F) and avoid overcrowding the pan. Drain on paper towels immediately after frying.
Freeze unfried dough strips for up to 1 month. Fry straight from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes. Cream-coated cakes don’t freeze well.
Halve all ingredients. For the dough, aim for 1 egg (or 1/2 large egg) and adjust flour gradually to avoid over-drying.
Drizzle with honey or melted chocolate, or add fresh berries between layers for a fruity twist. Dust with powdered sugar for elegance.
