Steps
-
Prepare the pastry ingredients first and soften the butter at room temperature in advance
-
Beat butter and icing sugar until smooth
-
Sift in the low flour, turn it up from the bottom, press down, and mix until even and no flour remains
-
Use a plastic bag to shape the puffs into a cylindrical shape according to the size of the puffs you are making. Store them in the refrigerator to make them firmer and easier to cut. It doesn’t work if they are too hard
-
Prepare the puff ingredients, soften the butter at room temperature in advance, and preheat the oven in advance
-
Put the milk, butter and sugar into the milk pot and mix well
-
Heat to boiling
-
After boiling for 1 minute, add sifted cake flour
-
Stir quickly until there are no particles and the bottom of the pot is slightly gelatinized, then turn off the heat
-
Crack all the eggs into the bowl first, then add the batter one by one, stirring quickly after each addition. When adding the third egg, add an appropriate amount and observe the consistency of the batter
-
Finally, lift it up into an inverted triangle and mix until the batter is glossy, smooth and has just the right consistency
-
Put into piping bag
-
Squeeze out evenly on the baking pan, lift it vertically upwards, and make it plump at the bottom and thin at the top (if the baking pan is not anti-stick, please line it with greaseproof paper)

The pastry becomes slightly firmer after being refrigerated, making it easier to cut and use. If it is very broken when cut, you can let it warm for a while and cover the squeezed puffs with the pastry
-
Put it into the preheated oven and bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes and 180 degrees for 25 minutes. When it finally starts to color, you can cover it with tin foil
-
Take out of the oven, add fillings and serve. The filling inside the puffs; the custard sauce or the filling whipped with whipped cream and powdered sugar is also very light and great
