Salted Caramel Cream Patisserie or Pasty Creams for Eclairs
I just could not not capture this recipe. It’s so good.
Make caramel for the pat and for the glaze
Caramel Sauce
100g sugar
50g butter
70 g cream
big pinch of flakey sea salt
Put the sugar in a pot and caramelize it, only swirl near the end. Into the sugar add butter, melt. Add the heavy cream and salt.
Pasty Cream
110ml whole milk
60ml cream
3 tablespoons sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons corn starch
30g butter
1.5 teaspoon vanilla
60g salted caramel sauce
Into a sauce pot ad the cream and 3 T sugar, heat until slightly bubbly and the sugar is dissolved. Into a little bowl combine yolks, 1 T sugar and cornstarch, until smooth. Add some of the hot milk into the yolks. Add back to the cream. Mix together until smooth. Add into thickened cream, butter, vanilla and caramel sauce. Put through a fine mesh strainer. Chill.
Glaze
Add powdered sugar, some vanilla and a pinch of salt into the remaining caramel sauce, some at a time until you reach the desired consistency, which is more powdered sugar than you might imagine. Spread on top of the eclairs, or pipe.
I love eggs. I love to cook them and eat them and I love to be social while cooking them…
