Step 1
(Make the meringue first) Soften the butter until it can be spread lightly. Add sifted powdered sugar and stir evenly until smooth.Step 2
Add sifted low-gluten flour and mix evenly. The puff pastry batter at this time will be very sticky.Step 3
It can be packed into a fresh-keeping bag and shaped into a cylindrical shape (4cm in diameter) and placed in the refrigerator to refrigerate. Refrigeration is not freezing.Step 4
(Now make puffs) Heat the milk, butter and sugar in a pot over medium-low heat During the heating process, stir the milk pot continuously to avoid burning the bottom. After boiling, turn to low heat and keep stirring for 1 minute. Then add sifted low-gluten flour and stir quickly.Step 5
Keep the fire low and continue to stir the flour dough until it is smooth and fine, until a thin layer of skin appears on the bottom of the pot, then turn off the heat.Step 6
Place the dough into another bowl and cut into small pieces to cool down. Add eggs in batches, depending on the state of the batterStep 7
Stir evenly. Lift the batter and turn it into three corners. This batter is OK.Step 8
Put the mixed batter into a piping bag and cut a small opening (at this time, start preheating the oven to 200 degrees)Step 9
Pipe out batter of the same size vertically, about 4cm in diameter. The size of my baking pan is 32x29. I squeeze 16 pieces into one pan. You need to reserve enough space because the puffs will expand when baking.Step 10
Take out the refrigerated puff pastry and cut into thin slicesStep 11
Place 1 piece of puff pastry on each batter and place in the middle and lower rack of the preheated ovenStep 12
Increase the heat to 200 degrees and lower the heat to 160 degrees for 15 minutes. When the puffs are completely expanded, turn to the upper heat to 180 degrees and lower the heat to 160 degrees for 15 minutes (if the oven does not have separate upper and lower heat functions, you can also preheat at 200 degrees and adjust to 170 degrees for 30 minutes. )Step 13
Don’t open the oven door halfway. The puffs will be round and perfectly cooked.Step 14
Whip the whipped cream with fine sugar until it reaches 9 minutes. There are not many requirements. You can put a round piping tip in the piping bag or use a piping tip specially designed for puffs. Put the whipped cream in it and squeeze the whipping cream from the bottom or the side.Step 15

However, it is not recommended to take the time less than 25 minutes at the beginning. It must be close to 200 degrees to make the puffs expand before adjusting. low temperature
