Ingredients
- 4.4 oz all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup pastry cream
- 2/3 cup whipping cream, 35% fat
Preparation
Prepare the pastry cream HERE and let it cool.
Heat the water with a pinch of salt and butter.
When it reaches a boil, pour in the flour all at once and stir with a spoon until the dough detaches from the pot.
Let it cool completely then add one egg and stir with a spoon or a mixer.
Let the first egg be absorbed, then add the second, let it be absorbed, and add the third.
Pour the dough into a pastry bag with a star nozzle and draw two circles next to each other on the baking tray lined with parchment paper without ever detaching the bag.
Bake in the preheated oven at 356°F for 5 minutes, then heat the oil in a high-edged pan or the deep fryer and cook the zeppole.
Whip the cream, combine it with the pastry cream, and work the two mixtures with electric whisks.
Take the zeppole, cut them in half and fill them or just decorate on top and add a black cherry.
Bon appétit
