Ingredients:
- confectioners' sugar
- mini- chocolate chips
- mash fruit or berries, such as strawberries, bananas, blue berries or peaches and stir into whipped cream
- add small chocolate chips to the whipped cream before filling the buns. leave out the glaze.
- put a piece of creme-filled candy inside the bun for a burst of flavour.
- party treats : make tiny buns (use tsp or a pastry tube instead of tbsp) and fill with flavoured cream-cheese or tuna dip (mash tuna into mayonnaise and flavour with garlic and pepper). make a small hole in the side of each bun and fill , using an icing tube. serve as nibbles or appetizers.
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add the butter and salt, and stir until melted. Add the flour to the water/butter mixture and stir well until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan. Let this mixture cool for about 5 minutes, so the eggs won't cook as you add them. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each until the egg is thoroughly combined with the dough and the mixture is smooth rather than slippery looking.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons (a teaspoon or tablespoon depending on how large you want your puffs), plop a good spoonful of dough onto a parchment-covered baking sheet. You can get about 12 large spoonfuls to a sheet. This recipe will make about a dozen and a half if you're using tablespoons, each enough for one good-sized serving.
- Bake the puffs for 25 to 30 minutes. Don't open the oven during the first 15 to 20 minutes, or the puffs may collapse. While the puffs bake, whip the cream until it's as stiff as you like, and add a token amount of confectioners' sugar and a touch of vanilla. Icelanders don't like their whipped cream very sweet.
- After the puffs are baked, remove them from the oven and turn the oven off. Make a slit in the bottom of each puff with a knife, and turn them upside down on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven with the door cracked open and leave them for about 5 minutes. This allows the steam to escape so they won't get soggy as they cool.
- To fill, cut the puffs in half horizontally. Frankie's favorite filling combination, and the traditional one, is a good layer of strawberry jam on the bottom, a large spoonful of whipped cream on top, then the top of the puff, and finally a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar on top of that. Some people like to add miniature chocolate chips to the whipped cream, and drizzle chocolate sauce over the sprinkle of confectioners' sugar. As finger food, these are also a messy business, but that's part of the fun of Bun Day Monday.
