Cream Puffs
recipe source: YT Kitchen's Collection (快乐厨房杂志- ,vol:24)
I make half of this recipe...^^
Ingredients:
1. 400g water
        6g salt
    240g salad oil (i used butter)
2. 320g bread flour
3.      10 eggs

to do:
1) Boil water, salt and oil in a sauce pan. Rolling boiled.
2) Add in flour all at once and stir to combine. Stir until mixture will leave from the side of the pan. Let this mixture cool a little until about 60c.


1.. After cooked the flour will look in big crumbly pieces
2.. After beating egg one at a time .. this is the texture of the mixture. When the mixture is drop down from the spatula it will form like a triangle shape. Not too runny and it slightly thick.
3..Puffs is ready to send to the oven
4..Just before sending to the oven, spray some water on the puffs to help the puffing process.
********
3) When it is slightly cool beat in egg, one at a time. You may not need all of the eggs. When the mixture is slightly thick then it is the right texture.(please refer to the picture above)
4) Filled into a piping bag with a plain tip and pumped on a baking tray that lined with parchment  paper. Wet your finger to flatten the spikes on the puff to have a nice and smooth surface. Spray with some water just before baking.
5) Preheat oven at 190c and bake for 10 minutes and continue with 180c for another 20 minutes.(for my previous recipe i need to pierce the puff to release air but this one doesn't need at all)







Custard filling:
recipe source: same as above
I make half of this recipe:
1. 700g fresh milk

2. 170g castor sugar
    120g eggs
      30g corn flour
      40g plain flour

3.   60g butter
4.   10g rum (i used vanilla pods)

to do:
1) Boiled milk in a sauce pan until it reaches 90c.
2) Mixed all (2) ingredients in a mixing bowl. Pour half of boiled milk into mixed ingredients of    (2). Stir till it is smooth and pour back into sauce pan.
3) Cook the mixture under low heat. Stir constantly until mixture is thick and gluey. Move sauce pan away from the stove.
4) Add in butter and rum (vanilla) and it is ready to use. If you are not using immediately, do cover the custard with a cling wrap to prevent custard from forming a layer of skin.

**Coffee custard
Ingredients:
1 portion of above custard
3g instant coffee granules
20g hot water
5ml Kahlua

to do:
Melt instant coffee granules in hot water. Add in Kahlua and allow to cool a little.
Mixed custard and coffee mixture together. Done! Its your Coffee Custard.


This pair of swan is specially made for a dear sister and her hubby 10th anniversary :)

  10. Good morning!
    In reply to your comment over at my ice cream post. Yes, I supposed you could substitute the corn syrup with honey. I would use a light coloured honey and maybe decrease the amount to half, as honey usually have a strong smell! Let me know how it turns out for you! Enjoy your ice cream! Hope you have a great Sunday today!~

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
