Cake
With such a controversial title, I know these cakes since childhood, from the days when delicious recipes are carefully copied from the notebooks in a notebook, although in reality this is - "Shu... round custard tart with cream, fat enough that the dough can soak up.." Since childhood, I remember the delicious taste of melting in your mouth delicious cream and crispy pastry shell, then baked them on major holidays, to please themselves and the kids.

Cooking

step-0
To prepare this old recipe I use a well-worn and the same old pot with a thick bottom. To prepare the choux pastry, take 200 ml of boiling water, pour into a saucepan, add 60 g butter and boil the mixture. In the boiling mixture add 1 Cup of flour and thoroughly mix the mass without removing the pan from the heat. Then, removing from heat a pan with a thick mass is again thoroughly stirred, it turns out very stiff dough, which we leave to cool. Turn on the oven and heat it to a temperature of 240 degrees.
step-1
When the dough has cooled, hammered into him by turn 4 eggs.
step-2
In the days of our mothers and grandmothers candy syringes were only available to chefs in the production, and plastic bags didn't exist yet, so I take a dessert spoon, dip it in a jar with cold water and gently spread the dough on the preheated baking sheet. For medium size cakes Shu is sufficient to gain the incomplete dessert spoon of dough or half tablespoon.
step-3
Bake our cakes at a temperature of 240 degrees for about 20 minutes. During baking the oven to open is absolutely impossible, otherwise they will settle. Cakes must acquire a brown color, not burn and, at the same time, grilled on the inside. If they will be baked enough, when the cooling can settle down and not be crunchy.
step-4
To prepare the custard, I used brown sugar Mistral, which gives the cream caramel taste.
step-5
To prepare custard cream take a saucepan with a thick bottom, 1 Cup of sugar is triturated with 2 eggs, add 1 tablespoon of flour with a slide, mix and pour 400 ml of milk, put weight on the fire and stir, boil. Once the mixture boils, diminish the fire and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 10 minutes. Be careful: mass, varivas, starts to "spit". After 10 minutes, her consistency will resemble a thick porridge. Turn off the heat and cool the mass to room temperature, then add 200 g of softened butter and whisk the cream until thick state.
step-6
Cooled cakes cut horizontally and stuffed with their cream. I usually cook them in the evening and then by morning they are impregnated with a delicious cream and ready to eat.
