4 egg yolks, 30g sugar
Stir thoroughly
The small bubbles in the egg yolk liquid can avoid lumps when making custard
Add 30g cornstarch
Stir evenly, stir in all dry powder on the side of the bowl
Add 335g milk and 55g caster sugar to the pot
Bring to a slight boil on medium heat
Stop heating when small bubbles appear on the side of the pot
Pour 1/3 of the hot milk into the egg yolk liquid
Stir well
Continue to pour in the remaining milk while stirring
Stir well
Pour back into the pot
Heat on medium heat, keep stirring
Boil until the cream starts to thicken, then turn to low heat
Continue to stir, pay attention to the bottom and edges of the pot until it is evenly stirred
Until the cream is completely mushy
Turn on medium heat and continue heating until bubbling, stirring continuously all the time
Then turn to the minimum heat for about one minute, while continuing to stir
The cooked custard cream is very smooth
Add 17g unsalted butter
Stir well
Sift in 6g matcha powder
Stir well
The custard cream made in this way is very delicate and smooth, so it doesn’t need to be sieved.
Cover the surface of the custard cream with plastic wraps
Prevents condensation and crusting
Refrigerate for 2 hours before use
55g softened unsalted butter
Whisk until smooth
Add 50g caster sugar
Stir until the colour is whitish
Sift in 27g almond flour and 45g all-purpose flour
Add 2g matcha powder
Stir evenly into a dough
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking
Roll out to 3-4mm thick
Put it in the refrigerator and freeze for 10 minutes
It is easier to operate after freezing and hardening
Cut into 4-5cm diameter circles
You can reuse the remaining corners by knead into a ball and roll it thinly
Cover and freeze for later use
85g all-purpose flour sifted
Add 120g of water to the pot
60g unsalted butter
10g caster sugar, a pinch of salt
Cook on medium heat until completely boiling
Turn off the heat and immediately add the sifted flour
Stir until there is no dry flour
Heat on medium heat and stir constantly
Until the batter starts to stick to the bottom of the pan
Stop heating and pour into a bowl to cool slightly to warm
Add 145g whole egg to the Choux pastry several times to adjust the consistency of the Choux pastry
The Choux pastry can flow down slowly when lifted with a scraper
Stir in the whole egg in 4-5 times, add a little more for the first two times
After mixing well each time, decide whether to add more whole egg according to the state of the Choux pastry
Too dry and too thin will affect the quality of the puffs
The Choux pastry here is a bit dry
A perfect Choux pastry is both shiny and sticky
The Choux pastry will flow down slowly, and the remaining Choux pastry on the scraper will form a longer inverted triangle
Put it in a piping bag for later use
Use 1cm decorating tip
Draw a paper with 12 circles with a diameter of 4 cm
Convenient to locate and squeeze out even-size Choux pastry
Spray a small amount of water to prevent the puffs from getting too dark
Put the prepared craquelin
Preheat the oven to 385°F/195°C 30 minutes in advance
Bake the middle rack in the oven for 20 minutes, then turn to 325°F/160°C and bake for 20 minutes until the surface is golden brown
If the colour is too fast in the first 20 minutes, the temperature can be appropriately lowered to 350°F/180°C
There will be large holes inside the baked puffs
The chilled custard cream is pudding-like
It becomes smooth and delicate after stirring gently
This custard cream does not need to add anything, it is very smooth and stable for decoration.
At the same time, the colour is pleasant and the taste is refreshing and smooth
Decorated puffs should not be refrigerated, only squeeze the custard before eating
Crispy puffs with smooth and refreshing matcha custard cream
Both pleasing to the eye and delicious
