Cream Puff time!



The following ingredients were used to make this delicious dessert:

1 cup water
3 1/2 ounces of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
3 eggs
, beaten
2 egg whites

strawberries and strawberry powder


I decided to add some variation to normal cream puffs and threw in whatever I had on hand - this time, I used fresh strawberries and some strawberry milk tea powder. ;D The process is quite simple. Boil then simmer the water and butter in a saucepan, remove, and add flour. Return to heat. Combine the eggs and egg whites and add to the mixture. The dough should have a nice sticky consistency. Use a pastry bag to squeeze the dough onto a cookie sheet, whatever size you like. Baking times vary, but I used 400 degrees at about 20 minutes.

The filling is very versatile, as you can add ice cream (an easy favorite!), pre-whipped cream, homemade cream, fruits, etc. I chopped up some strawberries and threw some in with some homemade cream (heavy cream whipped for about 20 minutes) and strawberry powder - and voila! Strawberry cream puffs ready to eat!

This took a surprisingly long time to make, but was worth it in the end! Don't forget to top with powdered sugar!
