Thank you


Joanne|||Choux 脿 la Cr猫me / Cream Puffs Recipe


INGREDIENTS


For the cream


40 cl milk


3 egg yolks


90g sugar


50g flour


1 vanilla bean


(optional 100g dark chocolate)





For the puffs


75g flour


60g butter


2 eggs


10cl water


5cl milk


1 tsp sugar


1 pinch salt





SERVES


4 connoisseurs





PREPARATION TIME


Cream: 15 minutes


Puffs: 15 minutes


o make the cream: put the milk, the split vanilla bean (and the grated chocolate if desired) in a pot and bring to a boil. During that time, put the egg yolks and the sugar in a bowl, and whip for about 5 minutes (until smooth and almost white in color). Add the flour, and mix again until smooth. Slowly pour the boiling-hot milk while stirring until smooth. Put the mix back in the pot, put the pot on medium heat, and stir constantly until the cream boils. At first boil, take the cream out of the heat and let it cool.





To make the puffs: Put water, milk and butter (cut in pieces) in a pot. Add the sugar and the salt, and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Take out of the heat and slowly add the flour, while stirring, until the dough is smooth. Put the pot back on the heat and stir constantly for about one minute, then take out of the heat. Add the eggs one by one, stirring constantly until the dough is smooth. Pre-heat the oven at 220 C. Put the dough in a pastry pocket, and make 3cm-wide puffs, separated 4cm from each other, on a pastry sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the puffs are brown and puffed.





To stuff the puffs: when the puffs and the cream have cooled, put the cream in a pastry pocket and fill the puffs with the cream.|||look up cream -------------recipe cream puff





when you do make them you need a double boiler pan --i do not remember right off hand the corect amount but cook in the doubler when you do|||Baking puffs often: mostly small ones (not only with cream but with cheese filling as well). Got recipes for Parisian, cream puffs, blackberry and eclairs. You%26#039;ll find them over here:

(and if you want to try the cheese mini-puffs to serve as party snack, the recipe is over here: http://www.jannekes.eu/cheese/index.html鈥?/a>





Success (and remember not to open the oven before the baking time is over to prevent collapsing of the dough)
