Cream Puffs with Vegetable Oil and One Egg
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 40 grams Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 25 grams Cake flour
- 1 medium size Beaten egg
- 1 all Custard Cream
- 50 ml + 1/2 tablespoon Heavy cream + Granulated sugar
- 1 Powdered sugar
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 200C and set the timer for 10 minutes.
- Refer tofor the custard cream, and chill.
- Whip the heavy cream with the sugar until soft peaks form.
- Chill in the fridge until use.
- These are the ingredients you need for the shells.
- Whisk the egg and sift the flour.
- Combine the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to boil.
- Remove from heat and add the flour.
- Stir until it becomes a smooth consistency.
- Cook again over low heat for 1 minute.
- Combine well.
- Remove from heat, add 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg and stir.
- Gradually add a teaspoon of the egg and stir well after each addition.
- Gradually drizzle in the remaining egg.
- The dough should become thick that when lifted, it should hang in a triangular shape until dropping after 3 seconds or so.
- You dont have to use all of the egg.
- FYI, the egg I use was 54.5 g and I was left with 6 g, which means I used 48.5 g. But this depends on the temperature or humidity.
- Add as much egg until the dough turns to consistency shown in Step 7.
- Snug a noozle in a piping bag and squeeze about 3 cm diameter of the dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Don't squeeze out the dough into a spiral, but steady your hand and squeeze it in one spot.
- Dip a finger into water and touch the peak of each pastry to flatten.
- Now bake in the oven.
- Transfer the tray into the preheated 200C oven for 10 minutes.
- Then turn down to 180C for another 10 minutes.
- Do not open the oven door and watch over so that the shells do not scorch.
- The dough puffs up at 200C and then dries out at 180C.
- Once the puffs have finished baking, you can open the oven door.
- They won't deflate so don't worry.
- Let the the puffs cool and then slice in half horizontally.
- Fill with whipping cream, custard cream and slices of strawberries.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top with a tea strainer.
