Choux buns
Serves 12
250 ml water
50 g butter or margarine
A pinch of salt
170 g flour
4-5 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
Filling:
500 ml whipping or double cream
4 tsp vanilla sugar
1 x 300 g tin of mandarin oranges or
300 g fresh raspberries or strawberries
Method:
1. Place the water, butter or margarine
and salt in a pan and bring to the boil.
Add the flour and mix until smooth.
Transfer the dough from the pan into a
large bowl.
2. Mix in the eggs one at a time, until
the dough stands up in satiny peaks.
Finally, mix in the baking powder.
3. Grease and flour a baking tray. Using
two teaspoons or a forcing bag,
arrange mandarin-sized dollops of the
mixture on the baking tray and bake
straight away until golden.
4. 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.
