Tomorrow it is King's Day, the weirdest ever because there are no party's in the streets like we all are used to. A disappointment for everyone, especially for the kids! But come on, we'll make it cozy at home. With snazzie's orange puffs, the mood will soon change to cheerful!
How to make orange puffs
Preheat the oven to 200°C
In a saucepan over high heat, bring water, milk, butter and sugar to a boil.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the flour all at once.
Return the pan to medium heat, stir 1 min. until the dough comes off the sides.
Remove the pan from the heat again then beat the eggs into the mixture, one by one.
The dough should slowly drop off a spoon like a ribbon, then is has the right consistency.
Spoon the dough into a piping bag with a round nozzle, let it stiffen for 5 minutes.
Pipe on heaps of dough on the bakingtray with a little distance.
Bake the puffs +/- 25 minutes unil golden and cooked through.
Allow the puffs to cool on a wire rack.
Put cream and sugar in the mixer.
Beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
Chop the chocolate into fine pieces.
Cut the cooled puffs open.
30 puffs is too much in quarantine ;)
We store half in the freezer.
Melt the chocolate with drops of colouring au bain marie.
Stir the colouring into the just melted chocolate very quickly!
Spoon the orange coloured chocolate on the puffs.
Scatter sprinkles on the wet chocolate and on the plate too, for extra festivity.
Not all our mini-monsters like bells and whistles, they prefer plain icing sugar and that is fine too.
Place all puffs a short while in the refrigerator for the chocolate to dry and the cream to stiffen, overnight is also fine.
Let Kings Day start now already, have fun tomorrow everyone!
