Cream puff - shu-kurimu (English spelling) cream puff English

A pastry made of a cabbage-shaped skin filled with cream. Choux means cabbage in French. The round choux pastry is squeezed into a shape and rises in the heat of the oven, forming a unique cabbage shape with a hollow space inside. The original shape was filled with cream, and its mild and refined taste is loved all over the world. Historically, it is one of the oldest pastries in France, dating back to around the 17th century.

To make 8-10 choux pastries, first put 100cc of water, 40g of butter, sugar, and salt in a pot. When the butter has melted and the water is boiling, add 60g of sifted flour all at once and stir quickly with a wooden ladle for 1-2 minutes (the dough should come off the bottom of the pot and have a ball-like consistency without being sticky). Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to about 80°C, then add 2 beaten eggs in 4-5 batches. If you add too many or too few eggs, the choux pastry will not take on the characteristic shape. Grease a baking sheet and squeeze out 10 choux pastries with a diameter of 3 cm, leaving ample space between each. Bake in a 200°C oven for about 15 minutes until fully risen, then reduce the temperature to 130°C and bake for 15 minutes. Before putting in the oven, brush the choux pastry with the remaining egg mixture or spray the surface with water to make it glossy.

To make the custard cream filling, boil 2.5-3 egg yolks, 60-70 grams of sugar, 25-30 grams of plain flour, and 200cc of milk, then cool and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and kirsch or rum. Adding half the amount of whipped cream makes it even more delicious. Fill the choux pastry with the custard cream and sprinkle powdered sugar on the surface. You can use the choux pastry to make eclairs (stripes cut into strips and topped with chocolate), swan choux (shaped like a swan), ring choux (baked into a ring shape), and other favorite treats.

キャベツの形をした皮の中にクリームを詰めた菓子。シューchouxはフランス語でキャベツの意。丸く絞ったシュー生地がオーブンの熱によって膨らみ、独特のキャベツ型になって、中に空洞ができる。その中にクリームを詰めたのが本来の形であり、くせのない上品な味は世界中で好まれている。歴史的にはフランスが古く、17世紀くらいからある菓子の一つである。

 シューの皮8~10個分をつくるには、まず鍋(なべ)に水100ccとバター40グラム、砂糖、塩を入れ、バターが溶け湯が沸騰したところへ、ふるった薄力粉60グラムを一度に入れ、木杓子(きじゃくし)で手早く1~2分かき混ぜる(練りものが鍋の底から離れ、べとつかずボール状の粘度をもつのがよい)。鍋を火から下ろして80℃くらいに冷めたところへ、割りほぐした卵(2個)を4~5回に分けて加える。卵の量は、入れすぎても不足しても特有の形はできない。天板に油を引いて、直径3センチメートル大のシュー生地を、十分に間隔をあけて10個分絞り出す。200℃のオーブンで15分くらい焼き十分に膨らませ、130℃にして15分焼く。オーブンに入れる前のシュー生地に、卵液の残ったものを塗るか、表面に霧を吹き付けるとつやが出る。

 中に詰めるカスタードクリームは、卵黄2.5~3個、砂糖60~70グラム、薄力粉25~30グラム、牛乳200ccをあわせて煮立て、冷ましてバニラエッセンス小さじ1、キルシュかラム酒を加える。泡立てた生クリームを半量入れると、さらにおいしくなる。シュー皮にカスタードクリームを詰め、表面に粉砂糖をふる。シュー生地を利用してエクレア(細長くしてチョコレートをかける)、スワンシュー(白鳥の形にしたもの)、リングシュー(輪形に焼き上げる)など好みのものができる。
