CUSTARD CREAM PUFF & CHOCOLATE ECLAIR

Choux pastry time! This time round does not require any mixing bowl machine because we are using saucepan and electric stove..

Nice puff isn't it..mmm...yes..the piping part needed some skill try not to make a tail if not there will be a darker colour tail coming out..but you still can save it by slightly tapping a bit of water to tap down the tail before bake.

I use to think that choux pastry is much more difficult level for me..i am wrong as long you follow the correct step and don't miss any single step of baking..your product will be 99% success ^^
