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.
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:

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.

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.

ReplyDeleteGreat looking swan. That's quite numbers of flavoured cream filling. Must be fun to have all at once. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood morning!
ReplyDeleteIn 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!~
really pretty! u use bread flour to make the puff? thats something new. i shall try :)
