Tools

I used the Thermomix

Put water, butter, salt, and sugar in the mixing bowl, and cook for 5 min at 212°F speed 1
Add the flour and mix for 20 sec at speed 4
Remove the mixing bowl from its housing and let cool for 10 min.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 392°F and line the baking tray with parchment paper
Place the mixing bowl back, and with blades moving at speed 5, add the eggs one at a time through the lid hole
Mix again for 30 sec at speed 5
Transfer the dough into a piping bag and form the zeppole with two turns of dough each
Bake for 25 min until golden brown. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for 10 minutes.
For this operation, use a wooden spoon between the door and the oven.
Put the milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and vanillin (or the unsweetened cocoa for the chocolate version) in the mixing bowl and cook for 7 min at 194°F speed 4
Pour the cream into a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool
Put the cream in a piping bag and fill the zeppole cut in half.
Decorate with strawberries or maraschino cherries
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
