Custard Puff

[Ingredients A]

• 250ml water

• 1tsp salt

• 125g butter

• 140g sifted plain flour

• 4 eggs

[Ingredients B]

• 60g custard powder

• 80g sugar

• 500ml milk

• 1tsp vanilla essence

[Steps]

1. Preheat oven 220degC.

2. Bring water to a boil in a pot and add sugar. Stir to melt sugar. Return to boil and add butter. Stir until completely melted.

3. Reduce heat and pour in flour all at once, stirring to incorporate. You should get a smooth batter that leaves the sides of the pot.

4. Leave batter to cool slightly before beating in eggs, one at a time. Ensure egg is completely incorporated before adding the next one.

5. Pipe or spoon small mounds of batter onto a baking tray.

6. Bake in for 15mins, then reduce heat to 150degC and bake for another 10mins.

7. Remove puffs from tray immediately to avoid sticking.

8. Combine custard ingredients in a pan and stir until well mixed. Cook over medium heat, stirring until custard thickens. Refrigerate until chilled before using.

9. When puffs are slightly cooled, make a slit in each one and fill with custard. Serve immediately.
