The "puffs" in West Point are a relatively simple one to make. As long as they have an oven at home, almost everyone can make them. Many friends asked me if I could make it without decorative bags, and my answer was: Of course.
In fact, you can do it without an oven, and you can make it by frying it in oil. However, for health reasons, it is better to avoid frying.
At present, most households are equipped with ovens, so let's mainly introduce them with the oven version. Today, I will make another delicious "ice cream puff" for the children in summer, haha! I'm causing trouble to your parents again. No problem. As long as your parents can cook it after reading it, you will definitely be able to eat it!

Steps for Ice cream puffs
1
All ingredients.
2
Sit the steel basin on the fire and pour water, butter, and salt into the basin.
3
Use a bamboo spatula to melt butter and salt while stirring.
4
After the water and oil gradually boil, pour in the sifted flour and stir quickly until cooked.
5
At this time, the flour, water, and oil have become relatively dry dough.
6
When the dough is dried until the temperature is about 50 degrees Celsius, pinch it with your hands and feel very hot but no longer hot, knock in an egg while it is hot and stir quickly until the egg surface is completely fused, then put the second egg until the eggs are beaten until they are finished.
7
To check the hardness of the surface, you can use a bamboo shovel to scoop up a scoop of batter. It is most suitable to lift the bamboo shovel batter into an inverted triangle and not flow down.
8
Use a steel spoon to scoop the batter onto a baking sheet and line it evenly.
9
Then put the baking plate into the oven and bake at 200 degrees above and below the furnace temperature. The baking time is about 25-30 minutes. During the baking period, the oven door must not be opened halfway, otherwise the puffs will collapse quickly when they get cold. The operation is a failure.
10
After twenty-five minutes, the puffs are roasted until golden yellow, and the outer skin has expanded to three times its size, making it very scorched and crispy. Turn off the heat at this time.
11
Take it out after five minutes, let it cool, cut it open with a toothed knife and check. It is best to have a completely hollow inside.
12
Use an ice cream spoon to scoop a lump of ice cream and stuff it into it, and the ice cream puffs are ready.
13
It can be served on the table and eaten. At this point, all operations have been completed, which takes 40 minutes.Ice cream puffs Make Tips
Ice Cream Puff Characteristics: Crispy, fragrant, cool, rich flavor, and very delicious. Friendly Tips: 1. When cooking the choux dough, be sure to stir quickly until fully cooked; do not stop halfway. 2. When adding eggs to the dough, do not wait for it to cool down. The optimal temperature is 45-50°C. After adding eggs, stir vigorously and quickly. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well; do not pour multiple eggs in at once. 3. Do not open the oven door during baking, otherwise the puffs will shrink rapidly upon encountering cold air, leading to wasted efforts and failure. Once the puffs are fully cooked and the crust is firm, lower the oven temperature slightly for another 3-5 minutes before removing them. This helps the puffs stay plump and prevents collapsing for better results. 4. After the puffs have cooled, be sure to use a serrated knife to cut them to avoid deformation. Since baked puffs have a double-layer skin, a regular knife is not suitable for cutting.
