As Requested: Custard Cream Puff

Ingredients:

Makes: 12-18

CREAM PUFFS

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup margarine

1/2 cup sifted flour

2 eggs

CUSTARD FILLING

2 tablespoons margarine

1/4 cup cornflour

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk

2 egg yolks, slightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. For creampuffs: heat the water and margarine to boiling in a saucepan. Stir the sifted flour in all at once.

2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves pan and forms into a ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat; cool.

3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, in egg-beat-in egg-beating until smooth after each addition. Beat mixture until smooth and velvety.

4. Put mixture into a piping bag (i used ziplock bag and cut a small hole in one corner) pipe onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes in 220 celcius oven then reduce heat to 177 celcius and bake for 10-15 minutes more.

5. Remove from oven, make a small hole in them to allow steam to escape (I guess in the middle so you can fill them). Fill with custard filling. *Another option is to cut the puff in half but not through them, having them still attached, and pipe the custard in them one by one.

6. For custard filling: melt margarine in a saucepan. Blend in cornflour, sugar and salt. Gradually add milk. Heat to boiling over direct heat. Stir mixture into slightly beaten egg yolks.

7. Return to heat and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Add vanilla. Cool thoroughly(put in freezer or fridge until completely cool and thickened). Makes 2 cups.
