Remove from heat immediately and add flour all at once, blend well.

Like this.

Step 7 of 18

To make the shape use a teaspoon and a tablespoon. You may use a pipping bag.

Step 8 of 18

Put it into the oven, bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown 😄

Step 9 of 18

While we bake the pastry, heat 1 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of condensed milk in a medium sized saucepan.

Step 10 of 18

Add 3-5 tablespoons of the water&milk mixture into the egg yolk&cornflower mixture, blend well, make sure there is no lump.

Step 11 of 18

When there is no lump in the 2nd mix (eggyolk+cornflower), add it into the medium saucepan, blend well.

Step 12 of 18

It should look like this.

Step 13 of 18

If your puffs did not rise, either there is too much liquid, flour was added before water boiled or your oven was too cool.

Step 14 of 18

If your puffs came out soggy, the mix was beaten insufficiently, puffs not sufficiently cooked, or the oven door was opened too soon.

Step 15 of 18

If your puffs did not hold shape, it was either because of the insufficient beating between addition of eggs, or mixture not cooled sufficiently when you added it into the tray.

Step 16 of 18

It should come out looking like this 😃

Step 17 of 18

Fun part! You may use a knife or scissors, and open the puffs, adding the vanilla mix into the puffs. And youre done!

Step 18 of 18

Enjoy!! Have fun making this easy Choux pastry ☺
