Leave the custard base for 10-15 minutes to cool to room temperature.

Pour vegetable oil into the cooled custard base, add salt and yolk.

Mix the mixture thoroughly until smooth.

Mix the mixture thoroughly until smooth, so that there are no lumps.

Sift the flour and add it to the chocolate mixture.

Bake the products for 10-12 minutes at 180 degrees.
