We’ll start by making the dough for the canes. To do so, mix 85 grams of mild oil with 75 grams of water and 25 grams of Don Jose Onofre white wine in a bowl.
Gradually add 250 grams of wheat flour to the liquids until a smooth dough is formed.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the pastry cream. Mix 4 medium egg yolks, 120 grams of white sugar, 50 grams of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste in a saucepan.
Gradually pour in 480 ml of whole milk and mix until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Once thickened, remove the cream from heat, transfer it to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate until ready to use.
After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, take it out and roll it into a roughly square or rectangular shape, as thin as possible.
Cut strips approximately 25 cm long and 2 cm wide.
Wrap each strip of dough around a metal cane mold. If you don’t have enough molds, reuse them after frying each cane and removing the mold until all the dough is used.
Heat enough oil for frying to about 170–180 ºC, with a depth of at least two fingers. Fry the canes until golden brown.
Remove the canes from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Carefully remove the metal molds while the canes are still warm — this is easier than when cold.
After removing the mold, coat the canes in 40 grams of white sugar.
Once all the canes have been fried, coated in sugar, and fully cooled, fill them with the pastry cream using a piping bag.
Ideally, fill the canes just before serving so they don’t get soggy.
Every recipe comes to life when paired with a Don José Onofre wine. Want to know more?
