Strawberry Custard Puffs 草莓卡士達泡芙


Now the strawberries are in season! Looking at the strawberries in a market, the various types of strawberry dessert are popping up in my brain. In addition to delicious strawberry cakes, I can't wait to try the strawberry puffs!

The puff pastry is crunchy, combined with the soft custard and sour yet sweet strawberries, WHY NOT having afternoon tea at home today!

最近美國草莓好便宜啊!去超市時就忍不住買了兩盒,把草莓當水果吃就很讚了!但因為草莓做甜點總是很美,就決定要來做個草莓泡芙!
看著成品覺得,在家也能享用這樣的甜點,怎麼這麼幸福啊!!
自從愛上Baking後,好像也不那麼愛去外面買甜點吃了XD 
除了各式各樣的巧克力以外啦!
自己親手做泡芙真的很有成就感!!


Ingredients


Puff pastry:

45 g unsalted butter 
85 c.c. water
1/4 tsp kosher salt
55 g cake flour
2.5 large eggs

Filling:

Strawberries, cut in half

Custard:

1 egg yolk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
100 c.c. milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Direction

Puff Pastry:

1. Preheat oven to 390F/ 200C

2. Whisk eggs and sift flour, set aside

3. Combine water, salt and butter in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil

4. Reduce heat to medium low, add in the sifted flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball

5. Remove the pan from the heat, transfer the dough to another bowl. Cool the dough with a mixer.

6. Add in no more than one quarter of the eggs at once and stir with a mixer until eggs are absorbed completely before adding more. Stop adding eggs when the dough forms a triangular shape on a spatula. See the picture below.

7. Put a 1 cm tip in a pastry bag and place the dough into it. Squeeze the dough out in a circle motion to create a desired size of puff. 
My puff size: small - 3 cm in diameter; large as the first picture: 8 cm in diameter.

8. Bake time varies depending on the puff size. For small puff, bake for 20 mins and lower the heat to 375F for 10 mins until golden brown. For large ones, bake for 20 mins and lower the heat to 375F for 15 mins until golden brown.
Do not open the oven during baking.

9. Cool the puffs and cut with a serrated knife.

10. Squeeze in the custard, place the strawberries and serve!

p.s If you make a lot of puffs, you can freeze them and bake for 5-10 mins before filling and serving.
 

Custard: (Double or triple the recipe if you wish to make more)

1. Combine egg yolk, sugar and cornstarch

2. Warm the milk and vanilla extract in a sauce pan over medium heat

3. Add the warm milk into the egg mixture, mix well

4. Transfer the mixture into the pan over medium heat, stir and turn off the heat when it begins to thicken, continue stirring to make it thicker.

Ingredients


泡芙外皮:

無鹽奶油 45g
水 85 c.c.
粗鹽 1/4 tsp
低筋麵粉 55 g 
蛋 2.5顆

內餡:

草莓,去除蒂頭,切一半

卡士達醬:

蛋黃 1
細砂糖 2 tbsp
玉米粉 1 tbsp 
牛奶 100 c.c. 
香草精 1/4 tsp

做法

泡芙外皮:

1. 烤箱預熱到 390F/ 200C

2. 雞蛋兩顆先打散,麵粉過篩

3. 以中火將水、鹽、奶油煮沸

4. 轉到中小火, 將麵粉一口氣倒入,快速攪拌直到成團

5. 關火,把麵糰放到一鋼盆以打蛋器攪拌散熱

6. 一次加入一點蛋液,以打蛋器攪拌讓麵團吸收,每次加入蛋液並攪拌均勻後以刮刀或木匙挖一小坨麵糰檢查是否呈倒三角形狀垂下,若沒有表示不夠濕則繼續加蛋液,若有則停止。所以蛋的使用狀況不一定會剛好是2.5顆。

7. 將麵糰放到擠花袋中,用一公分的擠花嘴在烤盤上擠出適當尺寸的泡芙皮

8. 烘烤時間依泡芙大小而定。小泡芙(直徑約3公分) 約烤20分鐘後將溫度降低到375F再烤10分鐘,直到表面呈金黃。大泡芙(直徑8公分)約烤20分鐘後將溫度降低至375F再烤15分鐘直到表面呈金黃。中途不能打開烤箱!

9. 泡芙烤好後取出放涼,用刀子切開即可放入餡料!


p.s 過多的泡芙可以放到冷凍庫保存,要吃之前回烤5-10分鐘再裝入餡料即可!
 

卡士達醬:

1. 將蛋黃、糖和玉米粉攪拌均勻

2. 牛奶和香草精一起加熱,溫熱即可

3. 熱牛奶加到做法1中攪拌均勻再倒回原本熱牛奶的鍋中

4. 以中小火加熱並且一邊攪拌直到濃稠滑順。若是要裝飾泡芙要煮更濃稠一點~

杏仁渣手工西餅

好久沒寫食譜啦...偷懶中... 從台灣帶回南杏仁,煮成杏仁茶和打杏仁漿都好好喝喔 可是,就跟豆漿一樣,有過濾後留下渣渣的困擾... 覺得渣渣的營養直接丟棄很可惜,所以就想辦法創造更多的食物將渣用掉,也吸收到了營養了! 很多人說打漿的時候打細一點,就可以不過濾直接喝掉 沒錯... 但我沒有高級果汁機呀!!!(以後一定要買一台!)

鐵板燒必吃小炒 ~ 黑胡椒高麗菜

吃鐵板燒都會吃到的菜就是炒豆芽和炒高麗菜。大量黑胡椒超級下飯,肉都還沒來,有菜我就可以吃超飽了 >"< 有時候想吃口味重一點,就自以為在開熱炒店,這樣吃一餐蠻過癮的,畢竟在美國要吃中菜也是蠻貴的 (而且又超油!) 自己快炒可以控制油量和鹹度,好吃又健康!

經典台式芋泥麵包

不知為何會莫名地被這種造型的麵包所吸引,經典的芋泥麵包和芝麻麵包,只要以這種造型現身,看得到餡料又灑上這麼多芝麻,就覺得好好吃~在台大的活大麵包店我就常買這種麵包! 自從吃習慣自製的麵包後,想起之前在麵包店買的麵包就會想說,天哪,我應該吃了一堆亂七八糟的東西吧! 因為自製麵包沒有那麼放改良劑,成品比較不那麼鬆軟,自製麵包最鬆軟的時刻應該就是剛出爐的時候了,所以剛出爐不管怎樣也要吃掉一個!自製麵包的用料實在,畢竟是自己做的,口感也比較紮實,現在吃外面鬆鬆軟軟的麵包反而心裡覺得怪怪的XD 很喜歡吃芋頭,煮湯煮火鍋,紅燒滷肉,做蛋糕麵包,都可以很好吃!讚讚!
