タッシュー Ta Choux

All Thanks to タッチャン, I could make Choux puffs inHiroshima.. These are kind of different from the usual ones I make, so they deserve a name! I decided to call them Ta-choux.. inspired by タッチャン.. Since I could make these while I'm in Hiroshima, I'm sure anyone could make it in Singapore! So here's the recipe!!!

Ingredients:
Custard
1/2 cup sugar
5 tbsp all purpose flour
1 pinch salt
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks
1tsp vanilla extract

Choux Pastry
1 cup water
1/2 cup or 110g butter
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs

Directions:

For Custard

1. Combine sugar, flour, salt
2. Add1 cup of milk and bring to boil
3. When mixture boils, add the other half cup of milk
4. When entire mixture boil, pour some of the boiled milk mixture on to the two egg yolks (So it won't be too hot to cook the eggs instead)
5. Pour the egg mixture into the boiling milk mixture and continue to boil till mixture bubbles and thickens
6. Remove from heat. add vanilla and refrigerate

For Choux Pastry

1. Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celcius/450 degrees F
2. Put butter and sugar together in a sauce pan and bring to boil
3. Sift in the flour and salt
4. Stir vigorously with a whisk until mixture lifts off the pan and forms a dough
5. Remove from heat, add eggs one by one, mixing evenly before adding the next one
6. Drop spoonfuls onto baking sheet or pipe into desired shape
7. Bake for 10 mins in oven, reduce heat to 200 Degrees c/ 400 degrees F and bake 25 mins more
8. Cool and pipe custard into the Ta Choux or cut the choux from the top and spoon custard into the Choux

And there you have! Your homemade cream puffs!!
