Raspberry Cream Puffs
Ingredients
- 250 ml (1 cup) water
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 5 ml (1 tsp) honey
- 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
- 310 ml (1 1/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 5 eggs
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) sugar
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 500 ml (2 cups) milk
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) 35% whipping cream
- 250 ml (1 cup) fresh raspberries
- 500 ml (2 cups) fresh raspberries
- 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) icing sugar
- 35 ml (7 tsp) water
- 3 drops red food colouring (optional)
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, honey and salt to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the flour at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms into a smooth ball that comes off the sides of the pan.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes or until the mixture forms into a soft and sticky ball. Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, in a food processor or with a wooden spoon, add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well between each addition until the dough is smooth.
- With a 30 ml (2 tbsp) ice cream scoop or with a pastry bag fitted with a 2 cm (3/4-inch) plain tip, shape 24 balls of dough on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Run the scoop under cold water between each ball to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the choux are golden brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 165 °C (325 °F) and continue baking for 20 minutes. Let cool completely. With a bread knife, cut the top of the choux and set aside for assembly. Remove any moist dough inside the choux.
