Cream Puffs

This was a while ago and I forgot to post it, so here it is.
Custard Cream Puffs.



They were so nice and so good and addicting, even though the puffs didn't turn out they way I wanted it.

I followed the Shu Cream Puff recipe from about.com, and changed a few things. I forgot, lol.

Well anyways here is the recipe.

Ingredients:
Pastry
3 tbsp butter
2 tsp sugar
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of flour
1 1/2 - 2 eggs

Custard filling
2 tbsps flour
1/2 cup of sugar
i cup milk
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsps of vanilla essence

Method
Pastry
Put butter/ sugar/ water in a pan and bring to a boil
Add flour in the butter mixture and stur quickly
Stop Heat
Add eggs slowly in the mixture and mix well
Play on tray using two teaspoons and dipping in water (prevent the dough from sticking to the spoon)
Bake them 190 degrees Celsius for 30 min
Cool puffs.


Custard
Mix eggs yolks and sugar in a pan
Add sifted flour in the pan and mix well
Add warm milk in the pan gradually
Place the pan on low heat and stir constantly until thickened
Stop the heat and add melted butter and stir well
Cool the custard cream.

The puffs should look like this:


And the custard


Cut the puffs in half and add the custard or like me also put in ice cream. I put black sesame ice cream

I stored in air tight containers and left in the fridge.



Hope you enjoy!!!
