Recipe Halloween monsters
Ingredients
- 1kg Macphie Choutex
- 1650g cold water
- Macphie Mactop® Extra
- Macphie fru-ti o.t.t® Mixed Berry dessert topping
- Mini marshmallows
- Black and white frosting for eyes
- 100g soft unsalted butter
- 100g demerara sugar
- 100g plain flour
- Orange food colouring
Method
Place Macphie Choutex in a bowl fitted with a paddle, add all the cold water and beat on slow speed for 2 minutes, scrape down.
Beat for a further 6-7 minutes on middle speed until a pipeable consistency is obtained.
To make the craquelin, mix the unsalted butter, demerara sugar, plain flour and orange food colouring together to a paste and then roll between parchment paper to the thickness of a 50p. Freeze then cut into 10cm rounds.
Pipe the choux in rounds on a lined baking tray, then place the circles of craquelin on top. Bake at 200°C for 30-40 minutes.
Once cooled, cut a mouth at an angle and fill with the whipped Macphie Mactop® Extra. Use the mini marshmallows for teeth and the Macphie fru-ti o.t.t® Mixed Berry dessert topping as blood! Pipe the frostings for eyes.
