In a saucepan, combine milk, butter, salt and sugar and place it over low heat.

Mix the ingredients well. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat.

Add flour and stir quickly using a spatula. Blend until no lumps remain. (Photo #1)

Place the saucepan over low heat again. Stir until the dough doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan. (Photo #2)

When the dough becomes stiff enough to form one lump, remove from the heat. While the dough is still hot, add beaten whole eggs, a little at a time, and stir well after each addition, to form a smooth, glossy dough. (Photo #3)

Put the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a 1cm pastry tube. Pipe the dough into 10cm strips. If a pastry bag is not available, cut out one corner of a thick plastic bag and use it as a substitute. (Photo #4)

Using a wet fork, mark lines on top of each dough.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (392 °F) for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 170 °C (338 °F) and continue baking for about 10 more minutes.

After cooling, cut in one side of each puff horizontally.

●Custard Filling

In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil.

Cream together egg yolks and sugar.

Add flour to the egg yolk mixture. Beat until pale and creamy. (Photo #1)

Stir in the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, and blend well.

Place the mixture over low heat. Stir until smooth and creamy, then remove from the heat. (Photo #2)

Let cool until the mixture becomes stiff, then stir again.

Using a pasty bag or a spoon, fill the puffs with the custard. (Photo #3)
