| For the pastry: | |
| 3 ½ tbsp | sugar |
| 90 g | plain flour |
| 75 g | margarine or butter |
| For the cream puffs: | |
| 160 ml | water |
| 45 g | margarine or butter |
| 60 g | plain flour |
| 2 medium | eggs |
| For the Filling: | |
| 1 medium | egg, or 2 yolks as preferred |
| 1 ½ tbsp | sugar |
| 1 ¾ tbsp | cornflour |
| 250 ml | milk, full fat |
| 3 tbsp | rum |
| 100 ml | whipping cream |

Instructions
Makes around 12 balls.
To make the pastry: combine sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in the margarine or butter until well mixed. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 7, 220°C, 425°F.
To make the cream puffs: Place water and margarine or butter to a boil. Add the flour and stir until it forms a ball. Remove from heat. Cool for several minutes and then beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate each one. The mixture should be just thick enough to hold its shape.
Use a spoon to aid forming balls, about 12-14 in all and place them well apart on a greased baking sheet.
Roll out the pastry and cut out rounds with a biscuit cutter, a glass or cup, about 2½ inches, 6-7cm in diameter. Drape them over the balls and press the edges down onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
To prepare the filling: whisk together egg (or yolks), sugar, cornflour and milk in a saucepan. Heat to near boiling but do not boil. Stir in the rum.
Whip the cream and fold into the rum custard. Allow to cool.
Puncture a hole in the balls, preferably on the bottom. Fill a piping bag with the cream and pipe the mixture in to fill. Alternatively, cut off the bottom and fill them with a teaspoon. Top each ball with a cherry to serve.
