Ingredients

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

  1. Bring the butter and the milk to the boil in a saucepan, then add the flour all at once, and stirring vigorously, cook until the dough forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan and the spoon.
  2. Remove from the heat, let it cool halfway, then beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough is somewhat softer than a strudel dough, but still not runny.
  3. In plenty of hot lard (about 170°C), drop walnut-sized dollops of the dough with two teaspoons or damp hands, and fry until golden brown and crisp - turning occasionally so they cook evenly.
  4. Drain on paper towel, and set aside.
  5. For the filling, sauté the onion in lard, add the cleaned, finely chopped veal brain, season with salt and pepper, and braise for about 10-15 minutes, until tender.
  6. Crack the egg into it, and cook, stirring, until the egg sets firm - you should get a scrambled-egg-like texture.
  7. Cut the baked puffs in half or make a small slit in them, and fill with the warm brain ragout.
  8. Serve immediately, warm.
