Many people neglect their diet because they are too busy at work and just deal with it casually. In fact, we don’t need to spend too much energy to prepare a delicious dinner for ourselves, as long as we choose properly. The method of Xiangma Handmade Baking Office Snack Series [Chocolate Puff Puff] does not take too much time and can be completed in just a few simple steps.

1. Make the chocolate meringue first: soften the butter and beat it slightly, add in powdered sugar and mix it briefly, then sift in low-gluten flour and mix well.

2. Knead into dough and refrigerate. The chocolate meringue is ready.

3. How to make puffs: Put milk, water, powdered sugar and salt into a pot, add chopped butter, heat until boiling and the butter is completely melted.

4. Turn off the heat after boiling, immediately sift in the low flour and stir evenly. Heat again on low heat for about 1 minute until the moisture inside the dough evaporates. Remove from heat and slowly add eggs to the dough when it is no longer hot, beating as you add. At this point, the puff dough making is completed.

5. When the puff dough has cooled, take out the chocolate puff pastry from the refrigerator. Divide into 15 equal-sized portions, roll into balls, and press with your fingers into flat round shapes for later use. Put the puff dough into a piping bag and squeeze out a circle with an edge of about 5 cm. Cover it with a piece of chocolate puff pastry dough.

6. Preheat the oven in advance. Bake at 210 degrees for about 10 minutes. When the chocolate pastry dough begins to crack, adjust the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for about 10 minutes. The dough will expand to twice its original size. Bake at 150 degrees for about 5 minutes.

7. After the puffs are baked, whip the cream filling and squeeze it into the middle of the puffs using a puff pastry nozzle.
