We remove the pot from the heat and let it cool a little.

Add the eggs one at a time, taking care to wait until the previous eggs are well incorporated.

Preheat oven 180 degrees (6 heat).

Cover the baking tray with baking paper. Make small mounds of dough using a pastry bag or two teaspoons, spaced slightly apart.

Cook the cabbage for 25 minutes. Leave to dry in the oven, turned off and open.

When the puffs are too cold, pierce the bottom and decorate with a pastry bag with vanilla, rum or chocolate flavored pastry cream.

Dip the vanilla muffins in the caramel and sprinkle the chocolate with powdered sugar.
