Heat until it starts to boil. Remove from heat, add the flour all at once and mix until the dough is smooth and forms a ball that pulls away from the pan. If the dough is too soft, let it dry out a little bit on low heat.<\/p>\n<p>Add the beaten eggs and mix until the dough is smooth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a teaspoon, form small balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<p>Cook in hot oven until the puffs are well puffed and golden brown (approximately 20 minutes).<\/p>\n<p>Let them cool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepare the fudge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a pan, melt the granulated sugar over low heat, until it becomes liquid and golden brown.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Dip the top of each puff in the fudge, taking great care because it\u2019s extremely hot, and place them on a serving dish.<\/p>\n<p>With the rest of the fudge, make spun sugar to decorate the puffs. Use a fork dipped in the fudge, and when it flows in thin stream, shake the fork over a rolling pin covered with parchment paper. Shape the spun sugar before it hardens.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jasmine cream<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You have two choices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1\/ You own a non-treated officinal jasmine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pick a large handful of flowers, mix with the cream and leave to brew for 24h to 48h in the fridge. Strain the perfumed cream and pour in a whipped cream maker with the sugar, or beat the cream with an electric mixer (in this case you may add a <a href=\"https:\/\/les-petits-bonheurs.com\/en\/chantifix-vahine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chantifix<\/a> mix). Set aside in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>This delicate cream makes you feel like you are eating the scent of the flowers. Unfortunately, even if you do own a jasmine, flowering time is not very long. So here comes the second solution.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2\/ You don\u2019t own a jasmine or it\u2019s not flowering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We found an aromatic water that gives the same impression of freshness and taste. But as we add a little bit of water in the cream, you need to use a whipped cream maker.<\/p>\n<p>(You can find \u00ab\u00a0Eau aromatique de jasmin Sambac on\u00a0: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroma-zone.com)\">www.aroma-zone.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mix all the ingredients in the whipped cream maker and fit a gas cylinder (or two, depending on the consistency).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fill the puffs with the jasmine cream and serve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Despite our research, we weren\u2019t able to find any jasmine food flavoring that did not taste synthetic and could compete with these two solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; float: none; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; font-size: 0px; line-height: 0;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Dishes: Aux Oiseaux @\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bernardaud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bernardaud<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is something magical in the fragrance of jasmine, that airs out the mind and instantly enlarges the space around us.
