How to Make Balah Isham Deep Fried Cream Puffs Pastry

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the warm water, whisking constantly until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer.
  6. Fry the puffs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Remove the puffs from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  8. While the puffs are still warm, carefully fill them with the desired cream filling using a piping bag or spoon.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
