Instructions to make Cream puffs:
- Separate egg yolks and beat-in sugar and cornstarch until a smooth consistency is formed without any lumps - On the side, warm the milk to about 50 degree celcius (be careful to not let it boil)
- Temper the egg-yolk mixture slowly with the warm milk to avoid scrambling - Sieve and transfer the mixture back into the pot and stir continuously until thickened and glossy
- Add-in any flavourings at this point (in my case, it's vanilla essence and some Cointreau for that orange vanilla flavour) - Once done, transfer the pastry cream into a bowl, cover with cling wrap and let it sit on the mixture to avoid skinning and allow the mixture to sit in the fridge to cool down
- Bring water and butter to boil in a pot - Combine the flour sugar and salt mixture, pour into the pot and stir until a dough forms
- Continue stiring and cooking the flour mixture in the pot until a smooth dough forms and films on the pot
- Remove dough from pot and add-in eggs one at a time, stiring until the dough forms again - Repeat until egg finishes and the dough drips in a V shape when the spatula is lifted from the bowl
- Add-in dough mixture to a piping bag and pipe out the mixture onto a tray lined with parchment paper - Pre-heat the oven to 200 degree celcius at this point - Smoothen the top with a wet finger and brush the puffs with some egg wash and allow to bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown

Just before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar or brush tops with light corn syrup and sprinkle with colored sugar or nonpareils. Peppermint Whipped Cream Filling: In large bowl, beat ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Cream puff is made with a French pastry dough, called choux pastry or pate a choux. To make choux pastry, you actually cook the flour in water and butter to form a paste, then beat in the eggs at the end. When baked, the dough expands in the oven creating a hollow shell, to be filled with all sorts of delicious fillings.
