Windbeutel are simply larger versions of a classic cream puff in German. You can fill them with either ice cream to make ice cream sandwiches or lightly sweetened whipped cream for a more classic cream puff. How long do Cream Puffs keep? Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 F (don’t open the oven) and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.

baking powder and baking soda are needed here to improve the rise instead of just baking powder alone, without baking soda. Read up on baking soda vs baking powder if you are unsure about the difference between them Use the paddle attachment on the mixer to beat the cooked dough fo 4-5 minutes on medium low speed. This will help cool the dough before adding the eggs in.This next biscuit treat goes extremely well with a cup of hot tea. It’s none other than Marks & Spencer’s very own Redcurrant Puffs, that has light & golden puffs with a fruit filling made with redcurrant juice. AP Flour: All purpose flour is what most people consider to be “normal” flour it can be bleached or unbleached.

Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Then repeat the process of adding egg and mixing but you may not use all of the egg! The best way to know is to stop mixing and pull the paddle out of the batter slowly -it will stretch briefly and then break off in a V-shape. If it breaks immediately and makes a jagged edge, you need more egg. Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar is best to add to the whipped cream to sweeten it slightly. When adding the eggs I recommend first whisking them in a container with a spout – this will make it easier to add the right amount of egg because you won’t always need all of the eggs. all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour will work in the streusel. It gives the streusel a little body so that the paste of butter and sugar doesn't melt all over the muffin tops

You could first incorporate wet and dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter into the muffin batter, but for this, I find that adds too many steps and it can be hard to incorporate a liquid fat properly in an already mixed batter, which leads to more mixing, which isn't ideal!

We will also regularly post about casual promos and latest findings. Return the pot to medium low heat and cook while stirring and mashing for another minute and a half. You should see steam coming out of the pot. I don't want to use any small electric appliance for muffins, so the creaming method is out: muffins should be easy! During the baking process, do not open the oven! You need the steam in the oven to help the choux pastry puff!

More From M&S

I've made these red currants plain, garnished with just sliced almonds before baking, and I've baked them with a streusel topping (made of butter, sugar, flour, and ground almonds). Another interesting topping is a crispy sugar topping made from roughly equal parts, by weight, of butter, sugar, and flour. This sugar paste is broken up into pieces and scattered over the muffin tops before baking. The red currants season is short and will inevitably require a special trip to your local market to get your hands on some. But otherwise, you will need mostly pantry and fridge staples:
