Cream Pastries

Ingredients

• 0.5 cuartillo water
• salt
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 75 grams mantequilla (butter)
• 1 lemon zest
• 125 grams flour
• 4 eggs, whole
• sugar
• whipped cream

Instructions

1. Heat the water with salt, powdered sugar, butter, and lemon zest in a heavy pot. As soon as it reaches a boil, remove from heat and stir in the flour, mixing well until the paste is smooth and without lumps. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot.
2. Remove from heat and incorporate the four whole eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until fully incorporated. Remove the lemon zest.
3. Using a spoon, drop portions of the dough onto a baking sheet. Dust generously with sugar and bake in a moderate oven until golden and puffed. Allow to cool completely.
4. Before serving, garnish each pastry with whipped cream.
