Cooking method

• Shu are small round-shaped choux pastry cakes. The only difference from eclairs is the obligatory presence of a craquelin - a hat made of struzel dough. The cakes are sweet, so the summer option is to use berries or ice cream. It turns out an easy cooking option - use fresh berries or ice cream together with berry cream. But I will prepare just a cream to show you this option. How to cook is up to your Taste! I cooked half a serving.
• It is better to start cooking with the creams so that they cool down by the time they fill the cakes.
• Making the custard
• Grind the yolks with sugar by hand or with a mixer (combine). Add flour. Grind well. At first, it is a thick porridge, which, with quick movements of the whisk, turns into a more liquid mass.
• 
• Boil the milk.
• 
• Continuing to beat the yolks with sugar and flour, pour hot milk in a trickle. Stir well until the lumps disappear. Pour into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Keep in mind that the cream will thicken even more after cooling. Remove from heat, add vanillin and pieces of butter (in portions), without stopping kneading. Then the chocolate is also portioned.
• 
• Cover or tighten with plastic wrap.
• Making berry cream - you can use fresh berries or ice cream instead.
• For berry cream:
• If the berries are frozen, defrost and save the juice that has emerged.
• 
• Rub the stone fruits (raspberries or red (white) currants, etc.) through a sieve. Berries such as cherries, plums, strawberries take less in quantity and chop with a blender. You should get 200-250 gr. puree juice.
• Grind egg yolks with half the sugar rate until white. Add starch. Grind well. At first, it is a thick porridge, which, with quick movements of the whisk, turns into a more liquid mass.
• 
• 
• Pour the juice-puree from the berries into a ladle and, adding half the norm of sugar and lemon juice (if necessary), bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• 
• Remove from heat. Without stopping stirring, pour in the yolk-starch mass.
• 
• Return to fire. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• 
• Cover or tighten with plastic wrap.
• Crackelin preparation
• Grind all ingredients and knead until soft, non-sticky dough.
• 
• 
• Using a rolling pin, roll out between two layers of baking paper (non-stick mats) into a layer 1.5-2 mm thick.
• 
• Cover, transfer to a baking sheet or tray and put into the freezer without folding.
• Making choux pastry
• Prepare choux pastry. I hope you know how to make choux pastry. Boil water with oil (I have culinary fat for reasons of economy) and boil with salt.
• 
• Remove from heat and add flour in one motion without sifting, while constantly stirring with a wooden spatula (just a wooden one!). Stir and return to medium heat. Stir the flour well until a lump forms. Burn the dough. This means keeping it on low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. A white coating forms on the bottom of the pot. Just carefully - “to burn” does not mean to fry!
• 
• Then transfer the dough to a bowl. Cool until warm. And stir in the eggs one at a time. I do not recommend using a food processor, as the dough will be tough. Eggs must be introduced manually one at a time. Each next egg is inserted only when the previous one is completely mixed. This should be done quickly. Therefore, if your husband helps you, it will only be better. The dough should shine.
• 
• We shape and bake cakes
• Turn on the oven 180 degrees. This I was most afraid of - I do not have a normal syringe. But everything turned out to be much simpler. I put the dough into a milk bag. I made a cut and squeezed out on a baking sheet with oiled paper in the form of rounded cakes at a sufficient distance from each other. When I squeezed out with a wet hand, I flattened it slightly. Take the frozen crackelin onto the table and let it warm for about 5 minutes. With a glass I squeezed out the circles and put them on the cakes.
• 
• It turned out great.
• 
• Baked for about 45 minutes. But this is not an example, you need to focus on the color and your oven. It turned out just charming. The pies are cooled on a baking sheet. Better not to disturb them.
• 
• 
• Decoration and presentation
• We fill the ready-made handsome men with creams. We cut it off neatly with a sharp wide knife just below the cap. Fill with berry cream.
• 
• Squeeze the custard along the edge and cover with a hat. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. We put it on a plate. A sprig of mint will brighten the look and flavor of the dish. We serve our loved ones and receive admiring compliments - what a fine fellow you are, clever and sorceress!

The dish is designed for

depending on the size, I had 23 pieces from 1/2 portion.

Time for preparing:

3-4 hours

Cooking program:

oven and handles

Note

Delicate, airy, melting in your mouth cakes will disappear into the mouth of your loved ones or guests. Nobody will remain indifferent.

It is difficult to photograph the cut - the cake is very tender. But I tried.

Of course, cooking takes time - the whole children's quiet hour has gone away, and the cream and I prepared the children in advance. But how much delight I heard !!!!! And even though I was preparing the dough with cooking oil, there was no sign in the finished cake (and what a savings!)

I wish you to enjoy the process of preparing your culinary masterpieces, whether you cook porridge or bake cakes!

Awesome recipe!

Thank you, I myself was stunned by the result.

I am with a small report: I did it yesterday, ate today. It was a feat of my life - I hadn’t done anything so complicated before, choux pastry was also for the first time (it turned out a little thin, the eggs, apparently, are large). But on her daughter’s birthday, she moved forward. I don’t take a picture of the result, because there is something to work on. But it’s very tasty, the combination of creams is awesome, especially berry ones (I have strawberries). You can even without cream, delicious dough combined with craquelin. Thanks again for the recipe.
