Choux à la Crème – Cream puff

25 Jan

Cream puffs have become a part of my childhood :) In Vietnamese we call it “su kem”, which is the verbal translation from “choux” n “crème ” in French. I had this first when I was in elementary school when I was in grade 4 or sth. In my final year of primary school (grade 5 I mean :D ), I often had lots of friends coming for small parties or to “study” together :P , n we always had cream puffs as a treat after “studying” really “hard” lol… I really missed those days when we kids started working hard on our homework w the promise of mom to bring back cream puff once we get everything done properly :P

I had the chance to make Choux à la Crème for the first time – today – as I’m now my friend’s personal cook :D haha I guess this’s a really good practice for me to be a better “mom” in the future :) ) =)) I was so so nervous making the dough worrying I may do sth wrong or unproperly, or the dough may not “puff” butgot flatenned out :-s I was so so worried this time baking :P U know, this is cream puff, not like muffin or quick bread, they’re so easy to make. I’ve never failed :D Luckily I got this first Choux à la Crème quite well done :P All 3 pp having the cream puff liked it :X I’m so la la la right now \:D/

For the cream puff dough (pâte à choux)

Whole milk – 125 ml
