45g butter at room temp, cut into 1 cm pieces (I used margerine)
60g plain flour ~ sifted
2 eggs ~ whisked lightly

Method

2. Boil the water & margerine in a pot. Once boiled, turn off the heat.
3. Quickly add in the flour & stir. Put the pot back on medium heat & cook until a small layer formed. Turn off the heat.
4. Quickly add in the eggs & stir until the mixture looks like a soft dough.
5. Pipe the dough onto the oven plate. The diameter of the puff should be about 5 cm.
6. Push the top of the dough lightly to flatten it a bit (Nak bagi nampak cantik).
7. Spray or sprinkle the cream puff surface with water.
8. Bake in the oven for 15 mins. Then reduce the temp to 180 deg C and continue baking for another 25 mins.
9. Let the puffs cool before putting the custard cream.
