Custard Puffs

.

I've made this puffs once, a few years back when you were still too small to appreciate food. But then, it's a good thing that you didnt know much about food then since my first attempt to make these puffs was a complete failure. I can imagine your sarcastic remarks & looks after taken your first bite....euwwww scaryyy !!!

Anyway, this time around equipped with a few years cooking experience behind my back, I would say my Custard Puffs are a great success. My puffs shrunk the first time I did it but this time they are just perfect - crispy & puffy like they are supposed to be. And with these kindof puffs, I am more than pleased to present them to my personal food critics for I know I'll be getting a big hug from her !
