Ingredients
Dough Ingredients:
- 60 g butter
- 60 g water
- 63 g milk
- 1 g salt
- 85 g medium-protein flour
2–3 whole eggs
Fillings:
- 200 g Croner Pectin Strawberry
- 200 g non-dairy cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Choux Dough
In a saucepan, combine butter, water, milk, and salt.
Heat over medium flame until the mixture boils and the butter is fully melted.
2. Add the Flour
Reduce the heat to low and add all-purpose flour all at once.
Stir quickly with a spatula until the dough becomes smooth, pulls away from the pan, and no longer sticks.
Cook for about 1 minute to slightly dry out the dough.
3. Cool the Dough
Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Let it cool until warm (not hot).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough becomes thick, glossy, and pipeable. (you can use a mixer or whisk for smoother texture).
4. Shape the Pastry
Transfer the dough into a piping bag.
Pipe onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with margarine.
Leave enough space between each puff, as they will expand during baking.
5. Bake
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 170°C and continue baking for 20–25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp.
- Do not open the oven door during the first 25 minutes to prevent the puffs from collapsing.
6. Fill and Finish
Once cooled, cut each puff in half (or make a small hole for filling).
Whip the non-dairy cream with a high-speed mixer until stiff peaks form.
Pipe the whipped cream into each puff, followed by a layer of Croner Pectin Strawberry
Refrigerate before serving for the best texture and flavor.
