Cream Puff

Ingredients:

500 ml plain water
200 gm butter
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

300 gm plain flour
300 gms eggs without shells (about 4 - A size eggs)

Method:

Combine the water, butter, sugar and salt in a pot and bring to boil.
Remove the pot from fire and add the flour all at once.
Stir the flour quickly and vigorously until it forms into a dough ball.
Leave to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Then, beat in the eggs one at a time into the dough.
The dough should now forms into thick paste.

Grease the baking tray that you are going to use.
Fill a pastry bag with the paste and pipe the paste onto the baking tray.
Do not pipe the paste too close to one another as it will get bigger when they are cooked.
(You can also use spoon to drop the paste onto the baking tray - I prefer to use this way as it is less messy.)
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 210 Celsius. (or until they turn golden)

Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

When cool, make a hole at the side and pipe in the cream.

Enjoy!
