Eclairs, Cream Puff and Paris Brest

On week 9, Chef Naim cannot attend the class because of some reason. Therefore, Chef Azni will be our lecturer on that day. We make Eclairs, Puff and Paris Breast. On this day, there are so many disappointment because the product that we made are not successful. The Puff and Eclairs need a specific and detail work. If not, it will not cooked well. We redo all the process twice then it show success. So I will share to you the recipe of the product that we have made. For extra bonus, we also made some pastry cream for the filling and I will share the recipe. 
Enjoy :3

3. Then pour in the milk, sugar and salt. Mix them well together. 
4. Add flour and stir until they combines together then set aside to let it cool. 
5. If it is already cooled, add eggs and mix well in a mixing bowl. 
6. Scoop them into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm star nozzel.
7. Start piping for 12cm long onto tray with parchment paper. 
8. Bake for about 20 minutes in the oven. 
9. Then, after it is all cooked, make a hole at the bottom of the éclairs and then pipe the pastry cream inside it.

3. Add eggs inside the mixture one by one. Make sure the mixture is fully combined. 
4. To shape it, filled up the mixture into a piping bag. On a baking tray, place on a parchment paper. (This is to make sure that our product doesn’t stick to the tray later while we bake it.) 
5. Squeezed on the tray a large ring shape onto it. Squeezed another swirl shape but this time make it into many swirl shape that connect into one large ring shape.
6. Bake them at about 180 degrees for about 30 minutes until it is risen.
7. While baking, prepare a whipping cream where we need to whisk them until it is fluffy and creamy. It should be our filling for Paris Brest.
