Method

Start with the craquelin. Beat together the butter and brown sugar then mix in the salt and flour. Place into the fridge for 15 minutes then roll out thin on a floured surface. Cut into discs the same size you want to make the eclairs and buns. Place onto a baking tray and then back into the freezer. Meanwhile, make the choux by beating together the butter and sugar then stir in the salt and flour and mix to a dough. Chill for 15 minutes then roll out thin and cut into discs and oblong. Heat the water, milk and butter in a saucepan and melt together. Stir in the salt and flour and mix together to form a roux and cook for a minute. Allow to cool down slightly then place into a mixer, add in the eggs gradually and mix to a soft paste. Pipe into 2 rings on non-stick paper, oven at 190°C for approximately 30 minutes (Do not open the door before 30 minutes) Remove from the oven and allow to cool down completely and make a small hole in the bottom to fill. Whip the double cream then whisk in the biscoff spread. Spoon the cream filling into a piping bag and use to fill the choux. Pipe more cream decoratively onto the top and decorate with toasted hazelnuts. Dust with icing sugar and chill before serving.
