Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1/2 c Flour
1/4 c Sugar
2 lg Eggs
1/2 c Milk
Oil, for frying
4 ea Genoise, 3" layers **
2 ea Peaches, ripe
Pate a choux **
-----SABAYON-----
3 ea Egg yolks
1/4 c Sugar
2 oz Grand Marnier
2 tb Water, warm

** See recipe for Genoise

Put the flour in a bowl and add sugar and mix.

Beat in eggs one at a time and, when they are
incorporated and the dough is smooth, add milk to make
a batter.

Dip a ladle or a mold into the hot fat briefly
and dip into the batter. Put the ladle back into the
fat carefully and fry until a "basket" comes away from
the ladle. Fry the basket until it's golden and drain.

Fit the genoise into the bottom of each basket.

Drop peaches one at a time into boiling water for
10 seconds to loosen the skin, then peel, halve and
remove the pit. Place a peach half on each genoise.

Form "handles" for the "baskets" out of Pate a
Choux and bake them, then secure to the baskets with
thick chocolate icing.

Top each peach with sabayon and garnish with
candy flowers.

Whisk egg yolks with sugar until they are light
and lemon-colored.

Add Grand Marnier and continue whisking. Put the
mixture over low heat and cook carefully.

Add warm water in a stream and whisk to form a
smooth light-yellow sauce.
