Chouquettes

Servings: 8

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons sugar

pinch salt

grated lemon rind

1 cup water

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon rum (optional)

4 eggs

Swedish pearl sugar

Equipment:

oven

sauce pan

frying pan

wooden spoon

baking paper

baking sheet

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 400F for at least 20 minutes prior to baking. In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, salt, lemon rind, and water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the flour all at once to the saucepan and stir to combine. At first, stir carefully to keep the flour in the pan, then vigorously to ensure it is completely combined. Return to a medium high flame and cook 3 - 4 minutes or until the batter clings and is glossy. Remove from the heat. Add the vanilla and rum and allow the mixture to cool (in the pan). Add the eggs one at a time with a wooden spoon. Beat vigorously and combine completely before adding the next egg. Don't worry - the batter will break every time, but keep working it until it comes back together and gets sticky again. This may take around 15 minutes. If making chouquettes, drop quarter-size balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle generously with Swedish pearl sugar. Bake 5 - 20 minutes (these need to be totally brown when you remove them from the oven or they will collapse from the moisture).

Food Joke

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken wasspeeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn`t catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing itturn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of thechickens had three legs.The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That`s astonishing!"The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred `em that way because I love drumsticks."Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven`t been able to catch one yet."
