Cream puffs

WindbeutelengljDo you know anybody who doesn’t love them, these fluffy little cream puffs? Last week I got a bag of convenience blend for those puffs and decided to try it. For pastry and filling I kept exactly to the instructions on the backside of the bag. I mostly prefer doing things by myself but must admit in this case that we couldn’t taste any difference between the puffs made with our own blend or that from Dr. Oetker. There were two things I varied a little bit. Instead of using tea spoon I took the pastry bag to form the puffs. The pastry however was a little bit too soft so that the rose didn’t last. For the filling I only took half of the glass of cherries and half of the juice and glaze accordingly and it was clearly enough. So if you’ve never tried to make a puff pastry you may easily work with the convenience blend. Within three quarters of an hour they were finished and ready for serving. A quick solution if you’re lusting for cake or want to delight unexpected visitors.
