I am a big fan of Oriental dramas namely Japanese, Koreans and Taiwanese. Titles and ratings of the dramas I watched so far are posted at the sidebar of this blog. Anyway, the latest drama I watched was Zettai Kareshi, portraying a story of a young lady who had purchased a robot lover. She was also a good baker. Her specialty wass the shu cream, Japanese cream puffs. So throughout the drama, I was watching the so-called "shu cream" which looked very yummy. After the torturing 11 episodes, watching her eating the cream puffs, I decided to bake some... since I have made the usual cream puffs before, I decided to make chocolate puffs instead... and here it is :)
For the pastry:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup water
1 cup flour sifted together with 2 tbsp dark coco powder.
- Boil butter, water and sugar in a milk pan.
- Add in the flour mixture all at once. Mix well, stir quickly.
- stop the heat.
- Add eggs slowly in the mixture and mix well.
-Pipe or spoon onto a baking pan
- bake at 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes
- cool and fill with your preferred custard.
Filling:
Place 4 yolks , 1/2 cup sugar, 4 tbsp flour, 1/2 cup sugar, about 1/2 cup flour, 600ml milk and 1/2 cup chopped chocolate into a milk pan, put them to boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. cool the mixture before placing it into the puffs.
