Choux buns
Makes 8
Dough ingredients
200 ml water
40 g butter
A pinch of salt
130 g plain flour
3 eggs
1 level tsp baking powder
Filling ingredients
350 ml double cream
4 tsp vanilla sugar
200 g fruit (e.g. raspberries,
strawberries, cherries or mandarines)
Method
Place the water, butter and salt in a pan
and bring to the boil. Add the flour and
mix to a smooth ball. As soon as the
base of the pan turns white, transfer the
dough from the pan into a large bowl.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, until the
dough stands up in satiny peaks.
Finally, fold in the baking powder.
Flour a baking tray. Using two
teaspoons or a piping bag, arrange
mandarin-sized dollops of the mixture
on the baking tray and bake straight
away until golden.
Whilst still warm, cut the choux buns
horizontally across the middle with a
pair of scissors. Remove and discard
any of the centre that is still moist. Wait
until the buns have cooled down before
filling them.
Beat the cream and vanilla essence
with the caster sugar until stiff peaks
are formed. Stir in the drained fruit and
then fill the puffs.
