Puff pastry tubes with protein cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare the tubes, prepare the necessary ingredients. Puff pastry can be used homemade or store-bought. If it is frozen, then defrost it at room temperature.

2. Step 2:

   

   Also, metal cones for baking will be needed to form the tubes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Roll out the puff pastry a little and cut into strips 2-2.5 centimeters wide. One layer of 250 grams of dough is enough for 10 tubes. Wrap each strip of dough around the cone, starting from the wide part. If necessary, stretch the dough a little. Wrap the dough so that it goes a little overlap.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the finished tubes on a baking sheet covered with cooking paper. It is desirable that the ends of the tubes are covered with dough, so that, subsequently, the cream does not come out from the back.

5. Step 5:

   

   Brush the tubes with egg yolk and put them in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 30 minutes. Approximately. Be guided by your oven and watch their color.

6. Step 6:

   

   The finished tubes will become an appetizing ruddy color.

8. Step 7:

   

   Remove the metal cones from the tubes and leave them to cool.

9. Step 8:

   

   While the tubes are cooling, prepare the cream. To do this, pour water into a small ladle and add the required amount of sugar. Put on the fire and bring everything to a boil. Add a pinch of citric acid to the boiling syrup and continue to cook until 120 degrees. If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, then drop a drop of sugar syrup into cold water. If you can roll a ball out of this drop, then the syrup is ready. If not, then cook more.

10. Step 9:

    

    Place the egg white in a whipping bowl and whisk at maximum speed until a fluffy stable mass.

11. Step 10:

    

    Then pour the finished syrup into the egg whites in a thin stream, without stopping whipping. Continue to beat the cream for another 4-5 minutes. During this time, it will become lush, shiny and stable. The cream is ready for use.

12. Step 11:

    

    Fill the tubes with cream using a pastry bag.

13. Step 12:

    

    The tubes with protein cream are ready. Have a nice tea party!
