Hubby
is not a sweet-toothed person as he does not favour most pastries except for cream
puff. For him to appreciate my baking, I
reckoned it was time for me to learn his favourite pastry – Cream Puff.
Cream
puff was originated from French pastry name Choux Pastry or Pâte à choux
with butter,
water, flour, and eggs as main ingredients. I had a cook book from Agnes Chang illustrating Choux
Pastry recipe and I was preparing to give it a go. Later, I had the idea to
check out some video demonstrations before attempting it. After watching a few
Choux pastry videos on youtube , I dived straight into it.
Result?
I was glad the pastry turned out nicely, however I was a bit disappointed with
the custard fillings as the custard was not thick enough. I guess I should have
stirred and cooked the custard a bit longer to thicken its consistency. Either
sweet fillings or savoury fillings can be used.
Since I found visual demostration was much more
informative and easy to follow, here I’m showing a clip featuring my Choux
pastry making experience.
