Challenge 4- Custard Puff

Custard puff is always on my lists of baking as my granpa likes to eat.I find my choux pastry crispy when it come out from the oven and it is quite dry.Maybe I should shorten the baking time but at the same time i am  afraid it is not cooked. Get conned by the recipe book as it say mixing custard powder with milk can form custard.However,it turn out to be some kind of liquid,i beat it for a very long time and still get liquid.All the milk are wasted . Luckily manage to get a recipe in a short time and it turn out to be creamy and yummy.

Choux Pastry                         

Ingredients:
65g plain flour
150ml water (I replace 1/2 them with milk)
50g butter
2 eggs,beaten

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200deg.C
2. Melt butter,water and milk over medium heat.When the butter melted,bring the liquid to boil,then remove from heat.
3. Add all the flour mixture and beat quickly until the mixture sticks together and becomes thick and glossy while leaving the side of the pan clean.Leave the mixture to cool slightly.
4. Gradually add the eggs to the mixture and beat with an electic whisk or wooden spoon (i used electric whisk) until the mixture become glossy.
5. Spoon the mixture on to the greased pan or non-stick baking paper at bake at 200deg C for 25-30 mins(depends on the size of puff:small,shorter time; big,longer time) unil golden brown.Make sure there is some place for them to rise.
6. When the choux pastry is done,make a small hole in each puff to allow steam to escape.Leave it cool and put the filling u desired.
