Petit choux with bleak roe

Petit choux – Kalix bleak roe – crème fraîche – pickled onion – dill

Ingredients:
62 g water, 62 g milk, 50 g butter, 1/2 pinch of salt, 1/2 pinch of sugar, 75 g all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs

Craquelin:
25 g butter (room temperature), 25 g brown sugar, 25 g all-purpose flour, 25 g finely chopped dill

1. Prepare the Craquelin:

• Mix the butter, brown sugar, dill, and flour in a bowl.
• Knead the ingredients into a smooth dough.
• Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin sheet (about 2 mm thick).
• Freeze for at least 20 minutes or until very cold.
• Use a round cutter to stamp out small discs, slightly larger than your choux buns, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.

2. Prepare the Choux Pastry:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat).
• In a saucepan, bring water, milk, butter, salt, and sugar to a boil.
• Once the butter has melted and the mixture is boiling, remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in the flour all at once. Stir until you have a firm dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
• Return the pan to the heat and stir the dough for 1–2 minutes to dry it slightly.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool for a few minutes.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
• The dough should be smooth and slightly thick, yet hold its shape when piped.

3. Shape and Bake the Choux:

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Pipe small rounds of choux pastry (about 4–5 cm in diameter).
• Place a craquelin disc on top of each choux bun.
• Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Do not open the oven during the first 20 minutes to avoid collapsing.

4. Pickled Onion & Whipped Crème Fraîche:

• Peel 3 red onions and slice them thinly using a mandoline or knife. Bring a pickling liquid to a boil using 1 part vinegar, 2 parts water, and 2 parts sugar. Add the sliced onions to the boiling liquid and let cool.
• For the whipped crème fraîche, place 1 dl (100 ml) crème fraîche in a bowl and whisk with a balloon whisk or electric mixer until fluffy. Grate in some lemon zest and season with a pinch of salt.

5. Fill and Serve:

• Once the choux buns have cooled completely, use a serrated knife to cut them in half.
• Fill each choux bun with 10 grams of vendace roe, whipped crème fraîche, and pickled onion.
• Serve and enjoy!
