A sweet summer delight from Spoonsparrow – try it for yourself.

Ingredients

  • 250 ml Water
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 50 g butter
  • 150 g flour
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 300 g pitted cherries
  • 300 g whipping cream
  • 1 packet stabilizer
  • 2 packets vanilla sugar

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Boil the water in a large pot, add salt, then butter and vanilla sugar until dissolved. Stir in all of the flour at once, whisking constantly until lumps form. Let the dough brown for about 2 minutes on each side until a white film appears on the bottom, then transfer to a mixing bowl and gradually fold in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

  2. 2.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly and dust with flour. Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe tennis-ball-sized rosettes onto the sheet. Bake at 200 °C for about 20 minutes until puffed and golden brown, then remove and cool.
