Delicious, untested member recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 1L milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 100g plain flour
  • 240.00 ml rum
  • 300g plain flour
  • 200g butter
  • 500ml water
  • 8 eggs
  • 8g salt
  • 400g caster sugar
  • Water
  • 200g sugared almonds
Instructions:
  • Heat the milk until it reaches a gentle boil.
  • In a clean bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in flour. Gradually pour in hot milk while beating continuously until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into a saucepan and gently stir over low heat using a wooden spoon until it thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Incorporate the rum, transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
  • Preheat your oven to 175°C for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • Combine the butter, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and doesn't stick to the saucepan or spoon.
  • Pour the mixture into a spacious bowl and whip it, gently adding one egg at a time, until the mixture is luxuriously thick and glossy.
  • Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large nozzle and pipe 3cm rounds onto the baking sheet, leaving 3cm space between each round. Bake in the oven for approximately 45 minutes.
  • After the choux has been cooked and cooled, go ahead and generously fill them with the delicious crème pâtissière.
  • In a saucepan, combine sugar with enough water to cover and stir until sugar dissolves. Let it boil without stirring until a golden color forms. Remove from heat.
  • Using tongs, coat each choux in toffee and stack to build a tower. Once assembled, sprinkle sugared almonds over the cake.
