Always wanted to learn how to cook eclairs. In fact, it was much easier than I expected. The main thing is just to start. The dough is very easy to cook, and cream all done in a jiffy. The key to success – is to follow the instructions in the recipe, and everything will turn out.
Cream puffs with fruit and mascarpone cream
Ingredients:
- For dough: -
- unsalted butter - 4 oz
- water - 1 cup
- flour - 1 1/2 cup
- salt - 1/4 tsp
- eggs - 3
- For filling: -
- mascarpone - 8 oz
- heavy wiping cream - 1/2 cup
- powdered sugar - 3-4 Tbsp
- vanilla extract - 1 tsp
- mix of diced fruits and berries - 1 cup
- For icing: -
- unsalted butter - 3 Tbsp
- cocoa powder - 3 Tbsp
- milk - 3 Tbsp
- powdered sugar - 2-3 Tbsp
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 390 F. To prepare the dough brewing (that's how we call it in Russian) you need to bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the butter and salt, stir until melted. Reduce heat and gradually sieving flour into a saucepan, stirring constantly. The dough should have no lumps. Remove it from heat. Beat the eggs lightly with a fork, add small portions in a dough, mixing well. Cover the baking shit with parchment paper. Put a tablespoon of dough at a distance of approximately 5 cm from each other. Bake 30 minutes in the oven until golden brown. Turn off the oven, but do not open the door for 10 more minutes, so the dough does not fall. Do not open the door during eclairs are baked, too. Then transfer to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Beat mascarpone with a cold cream, sugar and vanilla essence until creamy. Cut the top of the eclairs with a knife. Using a pastry bag, fill the void with a cream, put the fruit and cover with a cut top. For the icing, melt the butter in a saucepan, add cocoa, sugar and milk, so the glaze has become quite liquid. Stir well and remove from heat. Pour the finished eclairs with chocolate icing.
Where can I find the buns with the lemon cream in them? I came across them on another web site ( foodgwaker) but when I clicked on the photo I found nothing.
I will post it today on this website!
