Ingredients: 250 ml water; 115 g butter or Hera margarine; a pinch of salt; 200 g flour (ideally ½ plain + ½ semi-coarse); 4–5 eggs (depending on dough consistency); 500 ml milk; 120 g granulated sugar; 2 vanilla pudding mixes; 2 egg yolks; 125 g butter; rum to taste

Choux pastry Pour water into a saucepan, add the butter and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil until the fat has completely melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir thoroughly, return to low heat and cook the dough for about 3 minutes, until it pulls away from the sides of the pan. Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool briefly. Then gradually beat in the eggs – the dough should be smooth and when piped onto the baking sheet it should hold its shape and taper slightly at the end.

Baking the rings Preheat the oven to 210 °C. Transfer the dough into a piping bag and pipe circular rings onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray the baking sheet with cold water and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 °C and bake another 15 minutes until golden. Do not open the oven during baking, otherwise they will collapse. Let the baked rings cool slightly and then cut them open.

Preparing the cream In part of the milk, whisk together the pudding powders and egg yolks; bring the remaining milk with the sugar to a boil and pour in the mixture. Cook a thick pudding, which you can also prepare a day in advance. After it cools, whip the butter until fluffy and gradually add the pudding. Flavor with rum to your preference.

Filling and finishing Spread a layer of cream on the bottom half of the ring, place the top half over it, and you can lightly dust with powdered sugar or decorate as you like.
