Pasta choux

First of all, in a large saucepan pour water, butter cut into pieces, salt and sugar. Mix over medium heat, waiting for butter to melt.
When butter has liquified, bring to boil. When it reaches 100*, you will have to pour all the flour and mix straightaway.
remove the saucepan from the heat, continuing to mix vigorously for a few seconds so the mixture absorbs all the flour.
You reach a compact and chewy dough that detaches from the walls if the saucepan. Now put the mixture back over the medium heat and continuing to mix, until you feel it rubbing under the pot.
Now leave the dough to cool down.
The dough must not be too hot when you add eggs, otherwise eggs will cook.
When the dough is fresh, place it in a bowl for a stand mixer and add egg 1 at time, lightly beaten.
Only when the first one is well absorbed you can add the second one.
Proceed in this way until the eggs have be inserted. At the end mix well, the final dough must be firm and smooth.

Making zeppole

Transfer the dough into a pastry bag with a flower nozzle (8mm).
Directly on a baking tray with baking paper , make 2 turns, one on top the other, with a base of 3-4 cm.
Bake them in a preheat oven to 200* for 10 minutes. Without open the oven, bake for another 20 minutes at 180 *.
For another 5 minutes with the oven opened a little bit.
Let your zeppole di San Giuseppe cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile make the lemon custard.
When zeppole are very cold, after at least one hour, and even the custard is very cold, you can proceed with the filling.
Cut your zeppole in half, put your custard in a peeping bag and fill half zeppola, without leaving the edges.
Close zeppola perfectly trying to match the parts and sprinkle with icing sugar.
Stuff also on the outside, with a small loop of custard.
Add 1 black cherry on syrup for each zeppola!
