Donut Holes with
Cotton Candy on Jacks
For the third year in a row, Eat Drink Design presented a project to provide a culinary impulse to the Dutch Design Week 2008 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Seven haute Cuisine chefs and top designers were joined together in order to design their own Signature Snack; something that will carry both of their trademarks. The Signature Snacks were to be pulled ‘out of the wall’ for five Euros apiece at the Eat Drink Design Outside snack counter at the Lichtplein, behind the Design Academy in Eindhoven.

The Signature Snack by Maarten Baptist (Joine) + Chris Fraass (CMF culinair) is everything you would expect of a name like that: sweet and a feast for your eyes. Of course the jacks can also be used for other snacks, amuses or dishes.
PEANUT-BUTTER & JELLY DONUT-HOLES
ON JACKS WITH COTTON CANDY
SPONGE
165 gr flour
1 package (7 gr) of dry yeast
230 ml luke water
Mix ingredients, cover and set aside in a warm place.
DONUT-HOLES
60 gr butter
60 gr sugar
2 eggs
5 gr salt
290 gr flour
Neutral sun flour oil or corn oil
Mix ingredients with the sponge into a smooth, supple dough that comes away from the bowl easily. If necessary, add a little flour. Cover and put away in the fridge for one or two hours.
Roll out the flour to a thickness of ± 15 mm. Cut out rounds of 35 mm, ± 10 gram (donut-hole size). If necessary, adjust the thickness.
Deep-fry the donut-holes at 160º C until golden brown. Allow to cool on a clean, dry tea towel.
Knead together the dough remnants and roll out again. Allow these donut-holes to rest for ± 1 hour before deep-frying.
FILLING
American-style peanut butter (smooth, without nut pieces, with sugar)
Strawberry jam/jelly (smooth, without seeds or pieces of fruit)
Fill the donut-holes with peanut butter and jelly; use a piping bag with a small, smooth opening. Garnish with cotton candy.
