Ingredients

  • 250 ml milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 60 g Butter
  • 150 g flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 250 ml Whipping Cream
  • 2 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • 250 g raspberries
  • powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Step 1 and 2: Bring the milk, salt, and butter to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and pour the flour all at once into the mixture. Stir well with a wooden spoon and return the dough to the heat, stirring vigorously until the dough separates from the bottom and a white coating forms. Transfer to a bowl, let it cool slightly, then gradually fold in the eggs so that they combine smoothly with the puff pastry dough.
