Preparation

  1. To prepare the craquelin dough: In a planetary mixer, soften the butter with the brown sugar; once a smooth mixture is obtained, finish the dough by adding the flour and Taste and Color.
  2. Cover everything with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
  3. To prepare the choux pastry for the cream puffs: place the water, milk powder, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan, then bring everything to a boil.
  4. Add the flour and cook on the stove for about two minutes, until the batter is firm and does not pull away from the bottom.
  5. Place the mixture in the planetary mixer with the leaf hook and add the whole eggs a little at a time until fully absorbed.
  6. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and form the puffs with a sac-à-poche using a “10” nozzle.
  7. Remove the craquelin dough from the refrigerator and with the other side of the nozzle used to form the puffs, form circles in the dough.
  8. Lay each circle on top of the puffs. Bake at 185°c for 15 min. with valve closed for the first 10 min.
