Cooking

Start with the choux pastry. Mix water and milk, put on fire and bring to a boil.

Add the butter, stir and wait for it to dissolve. Remove the pan from the heat, add flour, stir quickly, getting rid of lumps.

One at a time beat in the eggs quickly and carefully rubbing the dough. Prescription required add the 4 eggs, but I had three, otherwise the batter would be too runny and not holding form.

The batter should be smooth, thick enough not to spread when otkryvanii.

Pre-thawed puff pastry roll out into a square size of 30x30 cm and cut into squares with sides 10 see Also to do with the second sheet.

In the center of each square put 1 tablespoon of choux pastry and puff pastry edges to bend upward, sticking them to the pastry dough, but not bonding together. Bake in preheated to 180C oven for 50-60 minutes. The most important thing is not to open the oven and not to get cake before until the choux pastry does not dry out and are brown, otherwise you'll fall off.

Meanwhile, prepare the custard. Mix sugar, vanilla, eggs and flour.

Portions pour in milk, stir to avoid lumps and heated in the microwave at full power for about 3 minutes*, stirring every 30 seconds. You can cook on the stove, but then you have to constantly stir the cream to avoid lumps and the cream is not burnt. *Cooking time depends on how powerful your microwave and can be changed both in smaller and in a big way.

Give the cream to cool completely and add small chunks of softened butter, with a mixer, beat the cream until smooth. I still rubbed in the cream, the zest of half a lemon and added 2 tbsp of lemon juice. This recipe was not, you can skip this step.

Kornetik fill cooled cream and fill the cakes. Sprinkle ready brownies with icing sugar.
