hmm... seems like silicon mat cannot bake choux pastry... the puffs were bathed in oil and cannot 'cook' properly... transferred them to normal pan with baking sheet... cooked finally...
but realised two things: the puffs didn't PONG and I had piped too little this time... also, shouldn't have added green tea powder to the pastry... after piping and baking... it really looks like little mountains of S***... hahahahhaa...
after sprinkling with icing sugar and 'packaging' a little bit... with custard filling... still okay lah...

Catika,
You are soooo funny... hhaha. I laught out loud reading your description of the green puffs.... hahahaha.
Joanne,
Actually, the puff recipe is for mini poppers... meaning can pop into the mouth in one bite
The picture I put with a tray full, I double the receipe to make bigger puffs
Do note that the puffs increase about 3-4x from the batter mix.
Regards to the conversion of cup to gram, good questions. I found this site and perhaps that helps. http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Cup-to-Gram-Conversions/Detail.aspx
This recipe is american... hence the measurements in cup

hi pink,
yah.. long time no post here.. busy at work lor.
its abit underbake, after i remove from oven, i bake it again for another 15mins but still looks quite pale. Is it because i din put the egg wash?
here the recipe. i got the recipe from one of the blog.
Pastry:
200 gm butter
250 gm plain flour
110 gm plain yoghurt ( i omit the yoghurt)
1 tsp sugar
1 egg yolk
A pinch of salt
Put all the ingredients into the mixing bowl except yoghurt, and mix to a crumble. Add in yoghurt and mix to a dough. Dough will be very soft so need to keep it refrigerated for at least 30 mins.
Filling:
12 oz diced potatoes
1 big onion diced
50 gm mixed vegetable (or more if you like)
Sliced canned mushrooms (amt up to you)
2 chicken breast diced
1 tbsp corn starch or potato starch mixed with 2 tbsp water
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Heat abt 2 tbsp of oil and fry potatoes with abt 4 fl oz of water and 1/2 tsp salt until soft. Set aside. In a clean wok, heat 2 tbsp oil. Fry the onion until transparent. Add mixed vegetable, mushroom, chicken. Fry for a while to break up chicken. Add in potatoes. Add in abt 4 fl oz of water and cook for abt 5 mins. Add in salt, sugar and pepper. Add in the cornstarch and stir to thicken mixture. Set aside for later use.
The steps for the chicken pie will be as per normal. You can either do big pie or mini pie. Just need to roll out the dough, cut the size required and place in a pie dish. Poke hole on the base using a fork and place ingredients on top. Cut another piece of dough to cover the top. Poke a few more times using fork on the cover of the pie and brush with 1 beaten egg. Baked in a preheated oven at 180C for 30 mins.

Meow & me were discussing abt our puffs and i did a small experiment using a silicon mat and without. Realised there is a differ bet. the size and texture. Just sharing what i had. Maybe it only happen to mine...
* Recipe from fatmum, thanks
*
VS
With silicon (left) only on baking tray ( rite)
VS
The differ in size... one is like a bao.. the other is like xiao long bao even though both are pipe with the same amt. And their bottom ( butt) the one with silicon mat actually sink inside.
VS
The inside, The one baked on silicon... the inside had more skin and its not hollow like the one baked on the tray.

really very *angry*... never say die... after dinner, do puffs again!!!
this time, switch back to my first attempt method (durian puffs that are SO PONG) - using old method - baking paper on tray! dun like to spread oily oily things... so dusted lotsa flour onto it... it works somehow!!!
puffs are all PONG PONG again... and then go on to make custard (thanks 1-0) and then pipe in...
Swee Swee Buay Lao Zui (nice nice no leak water)!!! Now I'm happy like a little bird chirping in the tree resting on a shady branch!!! *tweet tweet*
Puffs just out from oven:
Puffs filled up with custard and dust with icing sugar and the interior:

Last week I brought a pack of custard power from phoon huat & I do not know how to use( I though I need custard power for cream puff...)? Any advice on what is custard power and how to use it?
For puffs filled up with custard, is it necessary to put in the fridge? Will is spoil if I keep at room temp?
Thank you so much.

kim, i would suggest to keep it in the fridge due to the weather in sg and oso it will taste better when its cold.
for what i know, my sec sch teacher said custard powder are actually sort of yolk powder and it gives very nice yellow colour. Some chinese rest shifu, when they want to achieve nice yolk yellow for their deep fried stuffs, they will mix some cuatard powder in their mixture.
