Our Perfect Cream Puff

Cream Puff

Do you love pastry and delicious cake?

Making cream puffs that look like the one above is not difficult… if you know how to do it right. :-)
I am a pastry chef in a little restaurant and a pastry teacher. I love to help my friends making delicious cake. Check out the video below where I show you how to make puff shells.

There are some things you should pay attention to if you wish to make cream puffs that your family will fall in love with…

For example, did you notice in the video that I added all the flour at once. This is really important because flour quickly soaks up liquid and if you try to add more flour later, you will get an ugly clumpy dough… not good. ;-)

I will add more details, soon. For the time being, make sure you read my free ebook “The Perfect Cream Puff”. It includes some more tips and tricks and lots of pictures. I hope you like it!

Hope to see you here again, soon.

The “Pastry Master”. :)

Things to consider when making a Swiss Roll

The dough must be super fluffy! That makes it easier to roll and - more important - it just tastes so much better. The biggest point you should pay attention to when preparing the dough is that you have to mix the dough until there are no air bubbles left.

swiss-roll-bubblesThis can take a long time, so be patient. On the picture you see that the dough still has air bubbles, so I have to keep mixing and mixing…

swiss-roll-doughIt may take up to ten minutes or longer. The perfect dough looks like a smooth cream. That’s the consistency you need to make a perfectly fluffy Swiss roll. :)

Here’s a video that shows me making a Swiss roll. The mixing-the-dough section shows different “stages” of making the dough. Another point you should pay attention to is to not overbake the dough in the oven. We don’t want a crunchy or dry dough - would make it very difficult to roll.
