Puffs (custard sauce)
Overview
The puffs are originally tasteless, but they brighten up once the custard sauce is added! The skin is crispy, and the holes inside are filled with smooth custard sauce. If you are quick, you can add whipped cream, but the taste is not a bit worse, so you should spend a little more time to make the vanilla-flavored custard sauce! Highly recommended!

Ingredients
Steps
-
First make the puffs, prepare the ingredients, (in addition, mix the high and low-gluten flour evenly, beat the eggs into a whole egg liquid)
-
Put water, milk, sugar, salt and butter into the milk pot
-
Heat over high heat until butter melts and milk boils
-
After boiling, turn off the heat, add the sifted flour to the milk liquid, and stir evenly
-
After mixing, continue to turn on low heat and heat until the water evaporates and the dough is fine and dry
-
Remove the dough from the heat, slowly add the whole egg liquid, a little at a time, stir each time until the egg liquid and the dough are completely combined, and then put it down again until the egg liquid is used up
-
At this time, pull up the whisk and the dough will form an inverted triangle
-
Use a spatula to put the dough into a piping bag equipped with a piping nozzle
-
Spread oil paper (or silicone mat) on a baking sheet and squeeze in the puff dough, preferably slightly spaced
-
Put the squeezed puffs into the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake at 200 degrees for 35 minutes
-
In the last 10 minutes, you can check the coloring of the puffs (because each oven has different temperatures)
-
After baking the puffs, you cannot open the oven immediately. Let the puffs stay in the oven for 5 minutes more before opening the oven door, and then put them on a drying rack to cool
