- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (170 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
- 30 g Water
- 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Sugar
- 40 g Milk, whole
- 10 g Egg yolks, raw
- 4 g Cornstarch
- 0.2 g Vanilla extract
- 3 g Sugar, powdered
- 5 g Cherries, sour
- 10 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Makes 1 pastry; multiply every amount for as many as you need.
- Melt the butter in the water, bring to a boil, then tip in the flour all at once and beat hard until it forms a smooth ball that pulls from the pan; cool slightly, then beat in the egg to make a glossy choux dough.
- Pipe the dough into a ring about 8 cm across onto parchment paper.
- Heat the frying oil to 170 °C (340 °F) and slide the ring in (paper and all, sliding it off once it releases); fry 4-5 minutes, turning, until deeply golden and puffed; drain on paper towel.
- For the filling, whisk the milk, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch together in a pan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens into a custard, about 4-5 minutes; stir in the vanilla and cool.
- Split the fried ring or pipe the custard into the centre, dust generously with powdered sugar, and top with a sour cherry.
