Zubereitung von Cream Puffs With Custard Filling
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- **Cream Puffs:** In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 cup of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Remove from heat and add 2 cups of all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the dough cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or use a spoon). Pipe 2-inch mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each puff.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from oven and carefully cut a small slit in the side of each puff to release steam.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
- **Custard Filling:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together ¼ cup cornstarch, 1 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks.
- Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture.
- Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens further.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Once the cream puffs are cool, fill them with the chilled custard using a pastry bag or spoon.
