Cream Puff Recipe
The recipe is divided into 2 parts: the cream puff pastry and the filling
Cream puff pastry
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 1 cup of boiling water
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/4 teaspon of salt
- 4 eggs
Direction:
Put boil the water in the small sauce pan with the butter, use high heat and stir it until the butter is melted and the liquid start boil crazily.

Cream puff pastry - butter in pan
Immediately add flour and salt, but raise the sauce pan above the heat ( so the flour wont get startled by the heat).
Stir and stir and stir biskily. Get the mixture to form a ball in the middle of the saucepan.

Stir

... and done.
Keep cooking and stiring for about 30 sec. and then remove from heat.
Break and egg into the mix, beat it fast so it would blend with the mixture until its smooth and fluffy. Repeat 3 times ( use all 4 eggs)

and done, with all 4 eggs
Baking time:
Use an decorator bag is the best for the job, with a big end. Or else, be cheap like me and use ur ziplog, cut the hole at the end, and use it. Works magic.
Squeeze your favorite size into the ungrease baking sheet ( I used parchment paper), get it around 3 inches apart.

the very 1st cream puff pastry

will be in the oven ( pardon the long ones, they are not good for the filling)
Bake in 350F in about 35-40 mins. If it is golden brown, its good.

how does it look?
Let it cool. Mean while, time for the filling.
Put it all together:
this part is a little bit tricky if you don’t have a food syringe. One quick, cut the top open and use a spoon to put the filling in. The dough and the filling should be cooled down then you do so.
So let me introduce you to my babies:
