Delicious Cream Puff

Another pastry recipe learned at TESDA baking course. The puffs may left plain or be decorated or put some filling. It's all up to you what you want to put on it, ako madalas nilalagyan ko ng yema filling sometimes boiling icing, kasi my son loves sweet but I promise you even if it is left plain masarap talaga lalo sabayan ng coffee. Coffee lover din kasi ako guys. However I will share the ingredients and procedure of making a delicious cream puff.

Again super easy lang ng ingredients mostly nasa kitchen nyo na guys. Sa mga mommies na naghahanap ng pagkakaabalahan you can try this quick recipe.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 tsp salt
4 large eggs plus 1 egg (for the egg wash)
1 tsp sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup water

Instructions

• Ready two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Begin combining butter, sugar, salt and 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and quickly stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir until a film forms on the bottom of the pan.
• Remove from heat and transfer contents to a bowl to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. 
• Add 4 eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously to entirely incorporate egg after each addition. 
• For the egg wash, whisk together the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
• Transfer the pate a choux to a large pastry bag fitted with a 5/8-inch plain tip. Pipe 1-1/2-inch rounds onto each prepared pan. Gently smooth the pointed peaks with a moistened finger, rounding tops to ensure even rising. Brush tops with reserved egg wash. Bake until puffs rise and are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Puffs can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 day.
• Transfer pastry cream to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/8-inch plain round tip. Insert the tip into the opening of each pastry, and pipe to fill with pastry cream.
