guns & co.

hello friends!

today I went to lunch with my mother-in-law (!)... and instead of the usual cake, I decided to prepare a tray of pastries.

the witch is been generous this year and has seen fit to bring the steel cones for making guns ... what better occasion to try them?

The pastry I have not made it, I bought it from the bench to the super mini ...

PROCEDURE

roll out the pastry and cut into slices about one centimeter and a half.
I hope you see from the picture ...

butter and flour cones, brush with a little water very cold surface of the pastry so that it makes the glue, and wrap the strip on the cone ... taking care to close the dough on the tip

sprinkle the surface with sugar and bake in preheated oven, 180 degrees for about ten minutes. .. check the oven, the guns are just brown
here they are ...

having only 9 cones, with the pastry left, so I cut the dischtti ...
had in the freezer sponge advanced, I defrosted ... and here's what I did!

I soaked in a syrup of water and sugar, stuffed with pastry cream and leave in refrigerator overnight, wrapped well in plastic wrap.
this morning I cut into squares and decorated with whipped cream ... I used a pastry bag with which I had filled cream of the guns ... and they came to create this effect on cream ... nice to see, good to eat ....

with disks of dough, however, I made these cakes

the filling is una crema diplomatica...
ho messo un dischetto di sfoglia tagliato a metà,uno strato di crema,un altro disco di sfoglia,uno strato di crema e la metà superiore del primo dischetto...e spolverizzato con zucchero a velo... erano davvero buoni...

i cannoncini li ho riempiti di crema pasticcera,e sul fondo ho messo un ciuffetto di panna
