Cream Puff

My hubby is not a cake lover.  He will never compliment the cake I made.  I know he loves cream puff as he will buy a packet of cream puff every time he sees it in the bakery. I got this recipe from http://www.nasilemaklover.blogspot.com.

I have been following this blog even before I start blogging.  Her blog is full of recipes with tips.  Thanks ! Sonia for the wonderful recipes.

250ml water (i used fresh milk)
a pinch of salt
150g flour (all purpose)
1/2tsp vanilla essence
1/4tsp baking powder
1tbsp sugar

2. Heat butter in a pot (medium heat), once butter melted, add in water, mix well.
3. Add in flour mixture (no.1), vanilla, quickly mix well ( about few seconds), turn off the heat.
4. Continue stirring flour until the dough mix well (once you see shinning surface).
5. Transfer the dough to a mixer, set aside to let it cool down.
6. Once it cool down (don't need completely cool) , mix in the egg, and beat the dough and eggs till mix well, less than 5mins.(the dough texture must not too soft or too hard, something like biscuit dough which you can easily shape it)
7. Place the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a tip. Pipe quarter-sized puffs about 1 inch apart on a baking pan.
8. Bake at pre-heat oven at 180C (original recipe 200c, too hot) for 25mins or until golden brown.
9. Cut the puff and fill in cream (store in fridge when not use), and enjoy it...
Happy Baking !
