Yoyoyo, Okie to kick start my recipes blog, I will now give everyone a recipe of making cream puffs. I've done them myself and they turned out great, they are very easy to make and these will be making their way to my friends' home this CNY.
Cream Puff Ingredients
1 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Butter
4 tbs Sugar
1tbs Salt
1 Cup Flour
3-4 eggs
1 Cup Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tbs Custard Powder
2 tbs Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1. Puff: Preheat the oven at 180 degree celcius. Combine the water, butter, salt and sugar into a large pot. Bring this mixture to a boil on medium heat. After the mixture starts boiling, turn off the heat and add the flour to the mixture. Note that all the flour should be added in one go. Once the flour is added, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it forms a yellowish dough. Continue folding the dough a few more times.
2. Transfer the dough to another bowl and mix the eggs in one at a time. Ensure that the dough mixture returns to a smooth consistency after the addition of every egg. (Note: if the dough feels too wet after the 3rd egg, just skip the 4th egg).
3. Drop the dough mixture on a baking tray, making each puff about 1 inch wide and 1 inch high. Ensure that some space is kept between each puff as the puff will expand a little during the baking process. Bake the puffs in an oven 180 degrees celcius for about 25 mins.
4. Cream: Add milk, sugar and salt into a saucepan and heat the mixture up on low heat. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent the bottom from burning. When the mixture starts to bubble and cuddle, add the custard powder into the milk and stir. Continue stirring until the custard becomes much thicker, add a little more custard powder if required. Once the consistency is attained, put the custard into the fridge to cool.
5. Cut the puffs in half, the inside of the puffs should be hallow. Spoon a portion of the custard into the puff. Put the filled puffs into the fridge to chill. Serve them cold (well I like them cold, but its really up to you to decide), you can also dust some sugar powder onto the top of the puffs to give them a nicer look, a little snowy effect.
