Crispy, sweet and airy - all this is about custard cakes called “Shu”. And despite their French origin, they are made from very simple and affordable products.

Ingredients:
• Craquelin:
Oil (room temperature) – 60 g;
Sugar - 65 gr.;
Flour - 65 gr.;
• Choux pastry:
Flour - 65 gr.;
Milk - 65 gr.;
Water - 65 g;
Oil - 60 gr.;
Salt - 2 gr.;
Eggs (room temperature, shake) - 3 pcs.
• Custard “Diplomat”:
Yolks – 2 pcs.;
Sugar - 30 gr.;
Corn starch - 10 g;
Milk - 200 gr;
Vanillin – 10 g;
Cream 33% – 170 gr.;
Sugar (for cream) – 20 gr.

Preparation:
1. Craquelin: In a bowl, using a spatula, mix the butter and sugar. Sift the flour into the bowl and stir again.
2. Roll out the resulting dough to a thickness of 2 mm and place it in the freezer to harden for a few minutes.
3. Cut pucks with a diameter of 5 cm from the hardened dough and leave them in the freezer until ready to use.
4. Choux pastry: place a pan on a preheated stove and pour water and milk into it, put butter and add salt. Bring everything to a boil over medium heat (boil for 10 seconds) and immediately turn off the stove.
5. Quickly add the sifted flour and stir until a dough forms (no more than 2 minutes).
6. Turn on the stove over low heat and stir the dough for another 1 minute, then transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
7. Mix the eggs into the dough in parts and continue kneading the dough until it becomes moderately dense, smooth and homogeneous.
8. Place the dough in a cooking bag and on a baking sheet lined with a perforated silicone mat, pipe the dough into even circles with a diameter of about 5 cm. Cover the dough with chopped craquelin on top.
9. Bake the cakes in an oven preheated to 190 degrees for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 170 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes.
10. Do not open the door while baking, and after baking, let the cakes lie in the turned off oven with the door slightly open for 10 minutes.
11. Let the cakes cool and make small holes in them to fill with cream.
12. Diplomat Custard: Whisk sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in a bowl. Sift cornstarch into a bowl and stir to combine. In three parts, stirring constantly, pour the heated milk into the mixture and place the saucepan on the stove.
13. Cook the custard on the stove until thickened and glossy. Then transfer the cream into a bowl, cover with cling film and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
14. Meanwhile, beat the cold cream with a mixer, adding sugar. Combine the whipped cream in parts with the cooled custard to get the “Diplomat” cream. Place it in a piping bag and fill the Shu cakes with it.
15. Enjoy the wonderful taste of Shu cakes!
