INGREDIENTS

For the custard cream:

240ml (1 cup) milk

3 egg yolks

80g (1/3 cup) sugar

1/2 vanilla pod

30g (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour

For the cream puffs:

60g butter

110ml (1/2 cup) water

A pinch of salt

5g (1 tsp) sugar

60g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour

2 eggs

For decoration:

Powdered sugar

METHOD

1. Pour the milk into a saucepan, add the vanilla pod, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.

2. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and all-purpose flour. Gradually pour in the hot milk while whisking continuously.

3. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Remove from the heat and let it cool completely.

4. In a pot, combine the butter, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then add the all-purpose flour all at once and stir until a smooth dough forms. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Transfer the dough to a bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until a smooth choux pastry forms.

6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small mounds onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 200°C/400°F for about 25 minutes.

7. Once cooled, fill the cream puffs with the custard cream and arrange them on a serving dish.

8. Dust with powdered sugar, serve, and enjoy.
