This week we discuss book 3, chapter 1, "The Departure of Boromir", from The Two Towers.
Today's "Food For Thought": Boromir's Cream Horn
Yes, that name was meant to be gross. Anyway, a cream horn is a real dessert and it felt right to honor Boromir.
Recipe adapted from https://stressbaking.com/cream-horns/#recipe
Thaw a sheet of puff pastry and slice it into 1/2 inch strips.
Grab either pastry cones or some abomination of a DIY pastry cone. Spay with non-stick spray and gently wrap a strip of pastry around it, overlapping slightly. You can add a second strip if the cone is not large enough after one.
Freeze all the pastry horns for 20-30 min so they hold their shape.
Place horns on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
Bake at 400F for 15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet and remove the cones.
Whip about 1 cup of heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, then add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Whip again until stiff peaks form.
Use a piping bag to squeeze the cream into the pastries.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
