Ingredients

  • 7 Tbsp (100g) butter
  • 3/4 cup (180g) water
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups (200g) all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 5 large eggs about 300g
  • Raspberry Tvorog Cream - recipe below

Instructions

  • Combine butter, water and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to slow boil, then reduce to simmer.
  • Add sifted einkorn flour; mix it with the butter liquid while simmering until uniform thick paste forms. Remove from heat, and bring to room temperature.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs (I use an electric hand mixer). Add eggs to the flour paste and mix well, until combined.
  • Put the paste into a pastry bag with a star attachment (I use 2D).
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • Pipe the paste onto the baking sheets, shaping as desired into donuts or circles.
  • Bake at 425ºF for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350ºF, and bake for 20 more minutes.
  • Once the puffs cool down (which doesn't take long), slice them in half and fill with cream. Transfer to refrigerator and allow to cool for a few hours - they are best eaten cold after the cream sets.

Notes

  • Have all the shells baked and cut before making the cream; you want to work fairly quickly after the cream is made since it contains gelatin.
  • If you don't want to pipe using a pastry bag, you can just scoop the paste with a teaspoon.
