Filling:
  • 2 tbsp butter/olive oil
  • 2 Cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 12.34 oz Mushrooms: white/portabello/wild (sliced)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 8.82 oz Smooth cottage/cream cheese
  • Handful of Chives (finely chopped)

METHOD

    1. Preheat oven to 200°C and grease and line a baking tray.
    2. Sift the SASKO Cake Wheat Flour.
    3. Place water, butter and seasoning into a saucepan on medium heat and once the butter has melted and the water is just boiling, add the flour in one shot and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for 2-3 mins until the pastry comes away from the sides and forms a ball.
    4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 mins. (The choux needs to be cool enough to touch with your naked hand, if not the eggs may cook when you add them and leave you with a choux scrambled egg.)
    5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating with the spoon until completely incorporated, this requires quite a lot of arm strength.
    6. The choux should now be sticky and rich but should still be able to hold its shape.
    7. Using a piping bag or 2 spoons, create 4-12 equally sized circles of choux on the baking paper with at least 4cm between each of them as they will double in size.
    8. Bake in the oven for 20-30 mins (depending on their size) until golden brown and crisp.
When you take them out of the oven, prick each of the buns with a skewer/knife to release the steam and allow to cool on a wire wrack. For the filling:
  1. Put a frying pan on med-high heat, toss in the butter and, once melted, add the garlic and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and fry for about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the lemon juice and thyme and fry for a further 5-8 minutes until tender and beginning to brown. Set aside.
  3. Mix together cream/cottage cheese and chives.
