This month Stephanie invites to a virtual Garden Party. Stephanie is talking about roses, and daisies, but in my garden the roses need more time to bloom.

Two thoughts crossed my mind, when I read Garden-Party: Barbecue and very British: High Tea.

But barbecue is more suitable for allotgardens.

I made my decision and serve

Garden Party with High Tea and Salmon Profiteroles

resp. salmon choux puffs and a good cup of tea.

In German choux puffs are called Windbeutel – wind bags and small choux puffs are called profiteroles.

Preheat oven to 200 °C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

In German choux pastry is called “Brandteig” – “burnt dough”.

Mix starch and flour. Heat the water with butter, spices and salt
until boiling. Without reducing the heat pour in the whole amount
flour mixture all at once and stir (“burn the dough”) until the
dough ball can easily be removed from the pan. Transfer the dough
ball to a bowl and incorporate two eggs, one after the other until
the dough is smooth and shiny. Than add the baking powder. Place 12
puffs with an ice-cream scoop on the lined baking tray. Bake them
for 20 minutes until golden brown. Immediately after baking cut a
lid from each puff. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Filling: Cut the salmon into small dices. Mix quark, horseradish and
crème fraîche with herbs. Fold in the salmon and season to taste
with salt and pepper. Fill the puff with salmon mixture and cover
with the lid. Decorate with dill.
