I don’t know a person who doesn’t like puffs, because these cookies are simply brilliant. Great puff pastry and sweet, velvety cream. This recipe slightly upgrades the cream puffs with the perfectly matching butterscotch and brilliant crumbling. The crumble emphasizes the taste of the cake so much that the first batch was eaten without cream by my family 😀

Craquelin

Ingredients:

65 g softened butter
85 g flour
80 g brown sugar

Procedure:

Put the butter, flour and sugar into a bowl. Knead the dough until it is smooth. Put in the fridge for 15 minutes. After this time, place the dough on a baking paper and roll it out so that it is very thin.

Choux Pastry

Ingredients:

170 ml milk
70 g butter
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
100 g flour
3 eggs

Procedure:

Heat the butter, milk, salt and sugar in a saucepan until the butter melts. Boil milk and remove from heat, add flour. Mix everything thoroughly. Put the pan on the fire to dry the dough, keep stirring. Transfer the dough to a bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Beat the eggs into foam and add to the dough, beat the dough with a spoon. Line a baking sheet with baking paper, and use a pastry bag to squeeze out 5 cm circles of puff pastry. Place the cutted shortcrust pastry of the same diameter on the puff pastry. Put in the oven preheated to 170°C and bake for about 35 minutes. Open the oven from time to time to get rid of the steam.

Caramel Cream

Ingredients:

200 ml heavy cream
250 g caramel cream cheese
powdered sugar to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can kajmak or caramel
powdered sugar for dusting

Procedure:

Pour the heavily chilled cream into a metal bowl, add the caramel cream cheese and mix. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract while whipping. Place the cream into a piping bag.

Assemble:

Cut each choux puff into half. Fill the bottom with some cream. Put a teaspoon of caramel in the middle and pipe a circle of cream on top. Gently cover with another half of choux puff. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar and top with caramel 🙂

Enjoy!
